nms-expedition

[remote thunder]

same effect

[meager stream]

its disabled

[cerulean hemlock]

I got no warning, I was on foot digging up a buried cache and suddenly ship lazers from the sky were bombarding me.

[meager stream]

but guards respawn for some reason

[indigo falcon]

it does, reloading your game means everything is back to default; sentinels on

[meager stream]

and die when u get close

[remote thunder]

broken

[meager stream]

and it counts too

[remote thunder]

needs to be fixed imo

[meager stream]

it has been like that since Sentinel day 1, maybe broken, maybe intended

[remote thunder]

and surely you know why

[alpine topaz]

eyah its a bit of a cheese on that

disabling the pillar instantly

i just did the settlement sentinal / minatuar thread

you cant disable the pillars, but fight everything

[remote thunder]

what needs to get fixed is sentinels disabled need to be on a real time timer

[alpine topaz]

yeah quite broken

[indigo falcon]

you have that timer in survival, I'll keep normal with no timer thank you very much 😄

[meager stream]

do they enable on their own in survival?

[remote thunder]

actually, ime, it hasn't always been like that

i clearly remember before even warping away coming back and still disabled.

anyway

[meager stream]

im pretty sure this behaviour was since sentinel update day 1

[indigo falcon]

ah no, sorry, I was trying to say, if you want a timer, have that in survival and leave the rest of us to chill 😄

[meager stream]

not sure about warping but sure about reloading

[indigo falcon]

reloading has always reset

[meager stream]

bk meant it should be on a timer and not affected by reloads, teleports and this kind of stuff

[indigo falcon]

but that's a very specific game mechanic compared to goign to the space station let's say

[indigo falcon]

I know. I want it not to be on a timer in normal mode. I don't want to be on some aggro sentinel world and suddnly bam here they are again. no thank you!

[meager stream]

well going to space station should not clear u from sentinel alert also, but here we are

[indigo falcon]

at the end of the day it's a game and that's no weirder than a lot of other stuff that goes on in there I guess...

"nms logic", need a t-shirt

[meager stream]

well yea

[unkempt plaza]

lol

[meager stream]

probably HG is fixed on adding new content instead of fixing/balancing old stuff, bcoz well, thats what sells new game copies

and allows them to keep updates free

[alpine topaz]

if the planet conflict level is low, it means less pirates right?

[meager stream]

the big OLD BUGS COLDFIX 4.0 headline in news wont sell them much haha

[meager stream]

conclict level is system-wide, but yea

also low conflict has no pirate raids

[alpine topaz]

ah yeah its system wide

im going to change my settlement now if sorted the sentinal mission

far out the minatuar becomes like a sentinal walker

[unkempt plaza]

LOL i sentinal saw me mine something it tried to scan but when i looked at it it got sling shotted into space XDDD

like it bumbed into another rock and i saw it getting yeeted

[alpine topaz]

lmao

[unkempt plaza]

like i litterly saw the red investigating dot just shoot into space and staying there for a bit

[meager stream]

im seeing an increasing amount of "things get yeeted" reports since 3.9, i wonder why

[unkempt plaza]

lol

[remote thunder]

@unkempt plaza were you in your minotaur, by any chance?

[meager stream]

i hope its just expedition issue and they did not break smth in their physics

[unkempt plaza]

nope i was mining by hand (bcuz my minotaur doesnt have the mining laser)

so i was outside of it when it happend

[remote thunder]

saw some weird sentinel behavior with mino..

[unkempt plaza]

like it was trying to fly close to me bumbed into a rock and yeet it went

ah yes he has returned from his space trip :kek:

[mortal merlin]

How do I find this key Rendezvous Point?

[ashen turret]

there aren't rendezvous points lol

[mortal merlin]

so it's a lie?

[native bloom]

Anchor point, same difference really

[ashen turret]

they're anchor points

[native bloom]

Land at the approximate coordinates then use your visor to do target sweep

[mortal merlin]

I have no more anchor points though. I did all the portions Minus the optional ones since for some reason the % doesn't seem to go up for me when I hand in the materials to Polo

[native bloom]

The percentage is community based. It's going up, just a tiny bit you can't see

[indigo falcon]

see the mini-faq pinned in the channel, about the optional milestones etc

[dusty pecan]

most of them are close enough to where mission target shows that they should be easy enough to find slowly circling around in the shit

[ashen turret]

it's like the quicksilver unlocks - it's not personal progress

[dusty pecan]

only one of the later ones was over 1000u away

[mortal merlin]

Okay, only issue I see atm is that it is only registering me having completed 1 phase.. even though I have all of them complete minus the optionals.

[unkempt plaza]

its patched in experimental mode

patch should be out for reg version soonish hopefully

[mortal merlin]

Ah so then I just have to be patient for it to go live

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[mortal merlin]

Thank you. I'm much more relieved to know that's my issue than something entirely different

[unkempt plaza]

basicly the final reward is thinking the optional ones are also needed (when they arent)

which they fixed in the experimental branch xD

[native bloom]

You said it only shows one phase complete? That would be a different kind of problem. Can you post a screenshot of your final phase to double check?

[indigo falcon]

no, it shows 1/5 now because tier 1 is complete...

it's the exact same problem.

[unkempt plaza]

^

like the final reward shows phase 1/5 now bcuz the first optional milestone is completed

[native bloom]

Oh, I thought they meant the colored in patches weren't colored

[hardy talon]

How do you summon your own Memory Fragment? Does that mean craft one of the items?

[ashen turret]

yes

[indigo falcon]

you craft it with the recipe

[hardy talon]

Gotcha! Ez pz

[dusty pecan]

allso turning the research material to polo gives a fragment per batch

[unkempt plaza]

doesnt work for that milestone tho

that 1 specificly requires you to craft 1

[indigo falcon]

no, it's a nice way to accumulate them (or sell for nanites) tho

[unkempt plaza]

ye

lets go i got enough salvaged data to buy the battery now xD (already got the solar panel + teleporter unlocked but gonna grind more so i can get a medium refiner haswell lol)

[native bloom]

That's some dedication

[dusty pecan]

with nomad and a good flat planet with high data density it's really not that bad

[unkempt plaza]

im using the minotaur i just find it easier to controll lol

[dusty pecan]

took like 1h 30min-2h to grab enough for solar+batteries+medium refinery on a nice planet

[unkempt plaza]

• the build in all around hazard stuff for only 1 tech slot is a nice added bonus lol

[hardy talon]

Nomad's zippy with upgrades, but without them Minotaur is my preference too

[unkempt plaza]

ye

i mainly use the minotaur in my normal save haswell bcuz the other vehicles just waste so many upgrade slots to get them all protected against the hazards

[ashen turret]

the minotaur is definitely the go-to for underwater travel though

[unkempt plaza]

while the minotaur just needs 1 slot lol

ikr

i agree lol

i thought i was the only one who used the minotaur underwater i dont like the nautilon at all lol

like the camera angle of the nautilon or whatever its called is just off to me tbh

[hardy talon]

You could equip each exocraft for only one hazard or two. Use Roamer for heat or cold, Nomad for Tox or Rad?

[ashen turret]

I used to use it until they broke the fuel use and recharging on it

[native bloom]

I setup a curious deposit base on the first anchor planet, but couldn't force myself to farm all the data to make the refining worthwhile

[unkempt plaza]

fair ig altho im the type of guy to forget which 1 has which upgrades 😂

[smoky meadow]

am i missing out never using any exocraft?

[unkempt plaza]

hence why i usually just use the mino lol

[hardy talon]

Yeah, fair. Plus mech so obviously the coolest

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[ashen turret]

uh - you definitely want one for phase 4+

[dusty pecan]

yeah the 250 stack size make cruious deposits kinda terrible in survival/perma death

[unkempt plaza]

altho i have been getting more fond to like the giant gargo truck in my normal save for mass mining sometimes xD

[hardy talon]

Does Survival also have 250 cap slots?

[smoky meadow]

i would say you dont need one from my experience

[unkempt plaza]

just use your cargo inventory then they stack to 500 ez

[ashen turret]

Once you get engine upgrades on it the colossus is a pretty good vehicle

[dusty pecan]

or grab a gun and go abuse sentinel summoners lol

[unkempt plaza]

ye

isnt the nomad the motor cycle looking thing?

cant remember if it is lol

[hardy talon]

Expedition saves demote into Survival right? After Expe

[native bloom]

That's the pilgrim

[ashen turret]

with 3 S class engine mods and the icarus system, you can't run out of charge unless you use boost lol

[unkempt plaza]

ah

ye i like the pilgrim has well altho its on the 3rd place for my top 3

xD

[ashen turret]

the nomad is the hoverbike

[unkempt plaza]

first place being minotaur second the colossus and third the pilgrim xD

ye i just remember'd lol

i always get those 2 mix'd up for some reason lol

[hardy talon]

Pilgrim is like a motorcycle? Didn't realize. Never made it yet

[unkempt plaza]

ye it only has 2 wheels

like 1 front and back

[ashen turret]

the nomad is the best overall for surface travel

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[ashen turret]

the storage sucks though lol

[unkempt plaza]

yup xD

[hardy talon]

And boost sucks

[unkempt plaza]

honestly i kinda wish some engine modules for the minotaur would have a slight chance to increase its max speed when walking lol

[ashen turret]

the boost works well on the colossus though

[unkempt plaza]

like not alot but maybe like 5-8% max per upgrade on a S class upgrade

[ashen turret]

the minotaur is meant to be a grasshopper, pretty much

[unkempt plaza]

ye fair xD

thats what i use it for too lol

[native bloom]

The minotaur animations break down when you speed up the walking

[unkempt plaza]

also my minotaur in my normal save can fly for like 30-45 seconds (maybe more) without the tanks running out :kek:

dont remember the exact number tho but ik its around 30 seconds pretty much

[indigo falcon]

how many deposits?

[hazy sonnet]

I'm currently at a weird situation
I finished phase 1 of the expedition and 6 biological horrors appeared
Do I have to kill them or can I just progress?

[native bloom]

Only 10. I found one with 17 on the last planet

[unkempt plaza]

i just ran away from them and it worked

like i ran to my ship took off and it still progressed

[hazy sonnet]

So I don't necessarily have to kill them?

[unkempt plaza]

yup

[hazy sonnet]

Great! Thank you!

[unkempt plaza]

^^

[ashen turret]

you probably should kill at least one of them, but it's not required

[unkempt plaza]

i didnt even kill any of them lol

[remote thunder]

same experience here, it progressed nevertheless

[native bloom]

Yeah I ran as fast as I could from those, or minotaur jet packed away

[ashen turret]

you can get some of a certain material you need later, from them

[remote thunder]

both with the corrupted sentinels+living ships

[unkempt plaza]

i did kill the corrupted sentinals lol

[indigo falcon]

they respawn if you kill them is my understanding. run away, this si a great solution to many prblems 😄

[native bloom]

I ran from all of them, yeah

[unkempt plaza]

bcuz they dont call in reinforcements so i was like "oh look free salvaged glass"

[indigo falcon]

basically hopped in ship and gtfo for all 4 memory loop points

[ashen turret]

if you want to try to fight them, stand on top of your ship ...

[remote thunder]

i was surprised to see those 3 flying together tbh, was a cool surprise

[ashen turret]

the ranged attacks hurt a hell of a lot less

[unkempt plaza]

i never even encountered the living ships lol

[hazy sonnet]

Run away from problems
Like I always do, awesome

[unkempt plaza]

like i got it entirely completed but they never spawned for me xD

[remote thunder]

thing is that you may very well miss them unintentionally

[unkempt plaza]

wait like where they hostile or?

or did they just fly over

[remote thunder]

nope, neutral until attacked

[unkempt plaza]

ah

i thought they where supposed to attack you lol

and i was like "how did i never find them lol"

[remote thunder]

when i saw them, we were out of atmos already

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[ashen turret]

they're more like the bird fauna ... they're just there

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[remote thunder]

(was anchor 4 loop event)

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[tame hearth]

Is something up with the Salvaged Data costs in the expedition? For some reason they are incredibly high

[unkempt plaza]

its intentional

[modern ether]

anybody have any tips for finding a crashed freighter? ive tried multiple systems using the distress signal cartographer maps and all i get is abandoned buildings and crashed ships

[tame hearth]

are we not meant to unlock base construction stuff?

[marsh haven]

use 4 in a row. You might need 5... each use should reveal a distress (claimable), distress (with npc), Abandoned building, observatory, freighter.

[unkempt plaza]

you are but its to make it more difficult p sure

[indigo falcon]

you're meant to rely on the stuff you get given 😛

[unkempt plaza]

^

and that

[indigo falcon]

of course being crafty players we find any and all ways to circumvent this

[modern ether]

how do i know when ive gotten the freighter to pop up? wont it just say distress signal like crashed ships?

[remote thunder]

yes, it does, but the actual marker that stays on HUD will say Crashed freighter

charts cannot mark the same building type twice, so just don't visit the non-crashed freighter markers

[modern ether]

woooord lol never knew that, thank you!

[remote thunder]

• until it hits a crashed freighter

[granite vine]

Or look at 'other bases' at a teleporter

Someone has one marked

[marsh haven]

dont panic if it shows two distress calls. one will be ship that can be claimed. the other will have an npc with a mission. it doesnt mean the mechanisim is bugged.

[brittle coral]

Hi, I'm starting the expedition, the mission ask me to die, I commit suicide and the game crash... again and again

How I can make it otherwise?

[unkempt plaza]

like has in it fully crashes or it goes to the save selecting screen?

[brittle coral]

Fully crash

[unkempt plaza]

ah idk then i hope someone else can help tho-

(bcuz if it was to the save selecting screen thats meant to happen hence why i asked)

[sterile swan]

I had the same issue. My only work around was to alt-tab right as I'm dying. Worked fine after.

[brittle coral]

Alt tab just before, or during the death message?

[sterile swan]

during

[brittle coral]

It bring me to the selection save menu

[wary pasture]

It's supposed to

[unkempt plaza]

ye load up your save now

(its supposed todo that)

it wil do that everytime you die

[wary pasture]

Re enter the loop traveler.

[unkempt plaza]

^

[wary pasture]

Nice snom pfp btw

Always was a frosmoth fan.

[unkempt plaza]

xD

same

its just a screenshot of the snom knife gif but a friend of mine added shady sunglasses to it and eyebrows 😂

[wary pasture]

Lmao ye I was like well hes uh.. got character.

[brittle coral]

And after I need to die again ? How many times ?

[unkempt plaza]

no you dont need to die after

[wary pasture]

Just once.

[unkempt plaza]

(walk around for a bit the milestone wil unlock after a little)

it takes a bit for it to register

or you could select the die milestone in the expeditions tab and close the menu

(thats what made it complete for me after i died)

[brittle coral]

Oh ok. Thanks a lot for the alt tab, I wouldn't guess it by myself

[remote thunder]

strange fix

[indigo falcon]

strange bug too

[remote thunder]

disabling mp + restarting the game never worked,as i suggested over at #nms-questions , @brittle coral ?

[wary pasture]

That's what I'm not getting. Your game actually crashing?

Or just being kicked to savepage

[brittle coral]

It works, very awkward

[remote thunder]

from user desc, it was CTD

not just normal behavior

[wary pasture]

I'm not gonna pretend to know what that means. Mind explaining? CTD

[remote thunder]

crash to desktop

[indigo falcon]

too dang many TLAs

[brittle coral]

Yes, multiplayer was already off and I restarted the game twice. Only the alt tab trick was efficient

[wary pasture]

That's what it seemed was being said. Never was though.

[remote thunder]

i knew because user approached -help as well, <#nms-questions message>

[brittle coral]

Sorry for the double post...

[remote thunder]

np

[wary pasture]

Ye says multiple crashes but never the severity. Is why again i was asking.

[remote thunder]

i'd definitely suggest raising a bug report, @brittle coral when you get the time

a game crash to me is a game crash, as in, game no longer running

[wary pasture]

Yes my brain thinks window close. But that's an assumption correct..

[remote thunder]

it's the IT support tech in me, i guess lol

[wary pasture]

Lol

[brittle coral]

And I go back to my ship, I go out from my ship to save and the game crash to the desktop again, 3 attempts already... I truly love this game but sometimes it can be very frustrating...

I think I need to wait the hotfix

[wary pasture]

Sounds like your processor cant keep up. Imo

[brittle coral]

I7 6700k, it should be enough, no ?

[wary pasture]

Youd think yes

[unkempt plaza]

there we go finally got a decent amount of salvaged data so now to research some stuff xD

[wary pasture]

Sounds truly unplayable for you though. That's what really has me scratching my head.

If it's not your pc, what are your settings at? Perhaps your gpu is bottle necking at that very moment and saying I cant bruh

[brittle coral]

Some updates are really full of bug, the expedition about fauna was unplayable before the hotfix

My CG is a gtx1080

[wary pasture]

I hope that's all your issue is my friend fr. Sounds like an awful experience.

[foggy cloak]

I don't know, I played it very good before the fix

[wary pasture]

And ye that's another reason I'm lost for words is that I havent yet dealt with anything like this. I've played exp since release date

[autumn plume]

have you tried setting the nms exe priority to high? made huge diff for me

[tame hearth]

Do we need to keep the Memory Imprint loop artifacts? Or are we good to dismantle them? The things you get from the graves

[indigo falcon]

afaik you never actually use them, they are just lore

[tame hearth]

thanks!

[ashen shore]

man we really gotta wait for hg to either fix this or until all loop progression is done?

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message "mini-faq" in this channel

just got my basic base setup with solar power and a medium refiner #feelsgoodman lol

and a battery haswell xD

now time to cobalt crash the market for me :kek:

[junior shard]

does this work for every weapon type?

[lunar flax]

What happens if I get tier 2 or 3 in the liquid sun/memories/dust thing?

[unkempt plaza]

p sure ye

[indigo falcon]

you don't get it by yourself, see pinned message "mini-faq" in this channel

[indigo falcon]

I've heard reports that the sentinel weapons upgrades apply only to boltcaster or that they work across all, doesn't seem to be any agreement about it

[unkempt plaza]

oh

[junior shard]

rip C

[fair dirge]

still looks very nice

[swift birch]

I have done. So. Many. Freighters today 🙃

[indigo falcon]

collecting somnal dust?

[swift birch]

Yeah

I want A class fragments, dang it

[indigo falcon]

selling off memory fragments for nanites? 😄

[unkempt plaza]

LOL another sentinal just got sling shotted into space 😂

it flew into my base glitched halfway in through a wall and then got yeeted lol

[indigo falcon]

that'll teach it!

[wary pasture]

Lol

[indigo falcon]

(I mean probably it won't, but in some other interation...)

[unkempt plaza]

i swear i love this planet lol even tho its a toxic planet 😂

like both times they got sling shotted it happend on this planet lol

[swift birch]

That's certainly a plus!

[calm anchor]

Only boltcaster

[unkempt plaza]

if its only boltcaster thats kinda dumb ngl

[calm anchor]

It makes the boltcaster NUTTY tho

[unkempt plaza]

imma remove the ones from my multitools in normal mode then lol

i dont rly like the bolt caster tbh

so its useless for me then xD

[calm anchor]

Because you can get a 3x3 boltcaster synergy bonus

[unkempt plaza]

im more of a neutron cannon/pulse spitter guy lol

[calm anchor]

I'm talking able to burst sentinel drones in 1 to 2 bursts

[unkempt plaza]

i can do the same with my pulse spitter (bcuz i can aim it pretty well)

[calm anchor]

A really stacked boltcaster is just pulse spitter but better

[umbral forum]

You can farm somnal dust from freighters.

[unkempt plaza]

like i cant aim for the life of me with the boltcaster

idk why lol

[swift birch]

Yes? That's... Why I'm doing it?

[unkempt plaza]

like its just not the weapon type made for me xD

[umbral forum]

AFK farming in this case.

[unkempt plaza]

only reason i got it on my exp multitool is bcuz its the only other weapon i got acces too apart of scatter blaster

[swift birch]

Ohhhh, does something regrow? How does that work?

[languid dove]

bro wtf is the 4th rendevous planet holy crap

[unkempt plaza]

ye how does afk farming somnal dust work-?

[umbral forum]

#nms-expedition message

[unkempt plaza]

ah i c

[swift birch]

Neat, thanks

[unkempt plaza]

ye ty ^^

[lunar flax]

Which is faster, doing nexus quests for nanites or doing the mould farm thing?

[topaz dock]

Anything to watch out for heading into “leviathan” (last milestone) ?

[unkempt plaza]

depends on how many refiners you got tbh

[topaz dock]

Really don’t wanna lose it on last one lol

[unkempt plaza]

||ye you wil die when you submit to it and get kicked to the tittle screen but when you respawn you kept everything and if you die after doing that mission it wont reset at all anymore||

[topaz dock]

Ok so just story based and can’t reset my loop . Nice

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[prime steppe]

What do after completing the Phases? Just focus on collecting liquid sun etc.?

[unkempt plaza]

im just helping with the community milestones + setting up/preparing some stuff slowly for when this save wil get converted to a reg survival save xD

like setting up a basic base etc lol

[topaz dock]

I farmed solar for a whole day before finding out it was a community thing

[prime steppe]

So every amount I contribute will help complete the loop progression?

[unkempt plaza]

ye altho i think its a max cap of 20 per irl day

like

per person

so if i do 20 now and then i do another it wont count but if i do 20 tomorrow all 20 wil count

[prime steppe]

20 stacks?

[unkempt plaza]

like 20 hand ins

[umbral forum]

That's 2000 somnal dust.

[unkempt plaza]

someone correct me if im wrong tho

like you can hand in more then 20 but it just wont do anything to the progress

[prime steppe]

Ah, that makes sense! Guess I'll have to continue that tomorrow. I get so much dust from frigates and I still have 31 broadcast receivers to go through!

[unkempt plaza]

xD

fair

[unkempt plaza]

you can still hand them in for the upgrades polo gives to nanite farm tho ^^

like selling the memory fragments you get and consuming them and them sell the modules for nanites

[dusty pecan]

sure you can do that

but by the point you can do that you could propably allso go farm sentinels for even more nanites

[prime steppe]

What about the imprints? Are they just useless now?

[unkempt plaza]

i mean its less risky + pugneum is kinda not worth refining lol

[grand stone]

where do i find the hermatic seal after spawning in?

[unkempt plaza]

imo atleast

[topaz dock]

And complete! First exp. Crazy good. Hectic but fun

[unkempt plaza]

nice

[dusty pecan]

it's not pugneoum that gives real nanites from sentinels

it's the sentinel upgrades that you get from the glass

[topaz dock]

So it boots me to select save, choose community right?

[unkempt plaza]

i mean thats still not a 100% drop rate for the upgrades tho

[topaz dock]

Nervous lol

[unkempt plaza]

while the polo thing is

like in some cases it can be more worth

but also at the same time not if you get trash rng

[grand stone]

please can someone help me find the hermetic seal, i just spawned in and i cant find it. made my way to the minor setlement that was marked on the map

[teal jetty]

die

[dusty pecan]

it's somewhere around 33% to 50 % in my experience

[unkempt plaza]

you need to die for it

[topaz dock]

Check expedition milestones it’s a reward

[topaz creek]

you need to gather is from derelict freighter if I am not mistaken

[dusty pecan]

and with summoners you can farm the glass real fast

[unkempt plaza]

i doubt its 50% maybe 33% but ive once openend like 10 glass in a row and got 0 upgrades

[dusty pecan]

and it's not even all that dangerous since the glass lootboxes allso recharge your suit shield

[unkempt plaza]

eh ig

altho you do gotta think about this tho

that the somnal dust can be afk gather'd which technicly makes it more efficent

but i see your point tho

[topaz creek]

I keep giving and saw it worked so I kept on giving, for hours, and will keep on doing till the optionals are all complete 🙂 its like a challenge for my self

[unkempt plaza]

ye ik but i meant if the 20 is the cap per day lol

that it actaully does smth

[dusty pecan]

how do you afk gather the dust?

[unkempt plaza]

someone posted a vid of it earlier

gimmie a second

#nms-expedition message

(to the vid)

[topaz creek]

hum for real? cap per day? i did not know, I'll do everyday then 🙂 that I am in game 🙂

[unkempt plaza]

ye thats why i said someone correct me if im wrong about the 20 cap xD

bcuz i think i saw someone mention it but wasnt sure

[dusty pecan]

Huh that is cool

not going to be sentinel farm fast but afk farm is afk farm

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[smoky meadow]

from here i think comes the info on the 20 per day cap
https://twitter.com/cyberpunk2350/status/1530232566997045249?t=S1ckUVn4yo2cjGXZ09e9Jg&s=19

[topaz creek]

is it a stack of 1k or a stack of 250? like 20 staks of which?

[dusty pecan]

somnal dust is 100 per hand out

so 2000 is enough to hit the cap

[topaz creek]

oki so 20 of 100 and such

[umbral forum]

2k somnal dust, 5k liquid sun or 4k memories.

[topaz creek]

oki thank you 🙂

[remote thunder]

oh my, that's so boring.

[umbral forum]

That's 20 minutes AFK farming.

[west forum]

Anyone else having problems with most of the whispering eggs falling through the ground when you release them?

[remote thunder]

that can happen yes

try to save+reload then go again

[topaz hornet]

Does anyone play on PS4/5? I have installed the temporal trail tech and am only able to see a trail. Not seeing the animation on any of my ships. Also uninstalled other trails.

[remote thunder]

but you need to be quick catching them for precisely that reason

[umbral forum]

They disappear after a few seconds.

[remote thunder]

they can actually fall through

[dusty pecan]

you can allso blast a hole bellow with terrain manipulator or sun beam

[remote thunder]

but yes, they disappear after a few seconds

[foggy cloak]

You need to thrust, so even when pulsing or boosting you need to hold the thrust button to see the effect

[topaz hornet]

I see. Thank you

[topaz dock]

With the price of stuff drop at some point of this save just got a raw deal now ?

[ashen turret]

the point is to discourage people from trying to bypass the random rewards

and in some cases they're locked period

[topaz dock]

Finished exp. Just wondering if the limitations will lift or do I need a different save to go for core on perma?

[indigo falcon]

this will become a survival save at the end of the 6 weeks, so not perma in any case

even if the expd is billed as being in permadeath, it isn't really

[topaz dock]

Dang, ah well

[dusty pecan]

speaking off which does reaching galactic center on the expedition save count for the permadeath achiement?

[hard gale]

Where is a good planet for collecting storm crystals?

[remote thunder]

going to suggest anchor 4. aggressive sentinel planet, so if you come a bit more prepared to deal with them and the environment, you can knock out 3 milestones in one planet

[hard gale]

Oh ok.

[topaz dock]

Heard there’s an easier one ☝🏻 n 1st anchor system

But I went for 4as well. Rough little patch of hell 4. Bring stuff for exobays and whatnot

[dusty pecan]

Yeah the toxic one is 1st anchor system has allmost flat terrain

real easy to collect crystals

no need to spend anymore time on the 4th anchor hell hole

[remote thunder]

i was just on a toxic moon on the starter system (up until my game crashed), and besides not having the extreme survival status, i've seen no storm crystals anywhere on it, no storms to be seen, and no activated copper on resource list.

[tardy robin]

So why are the optional missions not optional in order to get the frigate

[remote thunder]

wait for the next public patch

[indigo falcon]

see the pin "mini-faq" in this channel

[remote thunder]

i'm going back in - i possibly was in the wrong toxic moon.

[indigo falcon]

starter or anchor 1?

[remote thunder]

this moon i was on would basically defy all storm crystal spawning rules we know of

[dusty pecan]

1st anchor system not the starting system

[remote thunder]

ah, anchor 1

damn it.

[indigo falcon]

I guarantee it has them on the anchor 1 mooon in the pin, harvested them twice from there 😄

[remote thunder]

why am i - --kzzt--

[indigo falcon]

because this expd is *&^%$# and also eff anchor point 4.

[remote thunder]

see, but it's true, toxic moon on starter system, no storm crystals, i just double checked that. 😄

[dusty pecan]

I have bases on the toxic planet on a sentinel pilar and a crashed freighter if you need a taxi

[remote thunder]

thanks, no need for me, i completed it already

now i'm just warping around checking out the sights

[indigo falcon]

I'm putting off the derelict, no cold, no shields, have neutron cannon. so I'm gonna do something about all of that little by little over the next days

[remote thunder]

this exp didn't drop at a good time for me, was busy with other stuff still (so i'm glad you wrote up those two posts, apergos)

[indigo falcon]

then complete on the weekend I guess

yeah regular work = can't sink the hours in during a workday (I'm a very slow player, just can't happen)

[grave valley]

ok, what exactly are expeditions?

[latent brook]

What’s the easiest way to get a derelict freighter? I don’t want to have to save up 5 mil units

[grave valley]

like, are we talking about the ones you send your freighter fleet out and they do stuff?

[latent brook]

Helios isn’t giving me any

Expeditions is the name for the limited time events you make a new save to run through

[grave valley]

it's easy to get money when you flood the market

[indigo falcon]

for the expedition you get a receiver from the milestone "bounds testing"

[latent brook]

Ohh ty

[remote thunder]

one of the milestones in phase 5, iirc, will also trigger a DF for you

(a shattered past)

[remote thunder]

• Expedition: Time limited, season-like, objective-based content game mode. Unlock phase rewards, which can then also be unlocked in other saves under the same account, at the Space Anomaly. 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.

[indigo falcon]

first "encrypted" title, you'll get the plain text of the title once another chance and partners in time are done

[grave valley]

oh, ok ty

[ripe sundial]

I seem to be stuck in the valley at anchor point 4, any way out there without nomad? :/

[indigo falcon]

can you tunnel through w/ terrain manip?

[ripe sundial]

No it won't do anything

[indigo falcon]

can't call in ship?

[ripe sundial]

For some reason i dont get a green landing spot. It's fueled tho

[ancient sierra]

where can I find an aggressive creature?

[remote thunder]

try again, can be finicky sometimes @ripe sundial

[remote thunder]

starter planet has them

[ancient sierra]

ok

woow

thx

[ripe sundial]

I'll try as soon as that damn firestorm/tornado stops blazing while thee sentinals chase me back and forth xD

This would be a deathtrap without tita

[remote thunder]

i loved anchor 4 to be quite honest.

[indigo falcon]

I knew you would. 😛

[remote thunder]

(my solanium farm on my main save is on a extreme survival scorched infested as well, absolutely love it)

[ripe sundial]

Sort of have a hard time appreciating it right now xD

[remote thunder]

anchor 4 has tornadoes though, which my solanium farm planet doesn't unfortunately . doesn't want to spawn any when i'm there anyway

[teal matrix]

Woot. FINALLY. Made it through to the end. Now time to go back to regular session and luxuriate in my super-large material stacks. 🙂

[remote thunder]

yay! congrats @teal matrix ! 🥳 !

[indigo falcon]

so you're saying you're a tornado chaser basically 😄

[remote thunder]

kinda

a storm chaser really.

[indigo falcon]

a hso any storm outside of a shelter (the reverse of most people :-P)

I should have known when I saw the picture of the meteor strike right behind you!

[remote thunder]

heh

meteor strikes visuals were revamped, they look even cooler after that

i'm very much a fan of extreme space weather

[stray saddle]

is the fix out yet?

[indigo falcon]

oh I'm a fan. a huge fan. from inside my nice cozy base with huge windows to look at the view!

nope not yet

[stray saddle]

:(

[tough sluice]

wtf with this anchor 4 planet 😦

What did I do to piss you off, HG?

[indigo falcon]

not just you

[remote thunder]

i feel i'm the only one

[ripe sundial]

I feel you, just was stuck in a literal hellhole there for 20min xD

[umbral forum]

Anchor 4 was the firestorm one?

[indigo falcon]

w/ aggros, that would be the one

[umbral forum]

It's comfy in the Minotaur.

[remote thunder]

now i just need mod_heatwave.pak, and i'll be rocking

[tough sluice]

Sents ignore you in the minotaur?

[remote thunder]

reported it as bug

[tough sluice]

Well goddamn

[remote thunder]

also like, frozen for you?

or still able to roam?

the sentinel, i mean, sorry

[lunar flax]

Is it a worth investment to create mould farms to get the upgrades? or I will do just fine with the nanites I get along the way?

[calm flax]

You might carefully consider being around a tornado in permadeath. I had a permadeath save that was going good. Even had an S class freighter on it. I was at the galactic trade terminal at a trading platform when a tornado sucked me out and slammed me into the side of a mountain.

[umbral forum]

Depends on how experienced you are, really.

[remote thunder]

on anchor 4, i was fighting horrors+aggressive sentinels in an extreme storm with 5 tornadoes all around me; one of them actually saved me from a horror that charged at me. the trick with tornadoes is to never loose your cool, and always remember that jetpacks should be close to full, since "gravity" is stronger in surv/pd

[topaz dock]

Unless you fall in a crag deep and dark with a boatload of hostiles , no space and ya ride is outta jump sauce. Bobbin and weaving while ya grab crystals and wait for your recharger to save ya …

(Anchor 4) so the tornado was why I was all the sudden flying across the map?! Good to know lol

[remote thunder]

that being said, it is dangerous, and i definitely could have died doing it

[calm flax]

I normally don't have problems with tornados. I've even had them suck me out of the water. This time was different though. I thought I was safe at the galactic trade terminal and was wrong. When the tornado sucked me up it was over almost immediately. I didn't have time to do much of anything.

[remote thunder]

yeah, they can pull you in even when inside buildings, caves, tunnels, etc

while on an exocraft, even - but not immediately, once you get out of it

(the exocraft thing is probably a bug, ofc)

[calm flax]

I found that out about the trading post. Lesson learned on my part. I have had one pull me out of my base when I was close to the door.

[remote thunder]

pulling, pushing yeah

😄

[umbral forum]

Tornados are okay if you have airburst engine, but if you don't, it's easy to spend all your jetpack juice and end up crashing to your death.

[remote thunder]

i would suggest memory fragment crafting when you're able to

i just let tornadoes do whatever

i never try to get out by myself, just wasting jetpack fuel

i wish i could find a dead biome planet with tornadoes again, like i did when origins dropped, but that was probably a bug

but i offtopic, sorry.

[hard gale]

Do all the optional missions become mandatory in the fifth iteration?

[remote thunder]

no, they get completed over time as the community research progresses and completes each tier of loop research

see optional milestone, phase 1 - already completed

[hard gale]

Oh. So I can’t get it till a lot more people in the community do it?

[remote thunder]

until we all contribute enough, yep

[hard gale]

That’s kind of weird

[remote thunder]

if you want to continue helping, keep playing after finishing and donate stuff to polo so that players who are late to the exp can have a easier time

[ripe sundial]

If you do that and die, do you still loose all progress to the frigate?

[remote thunder]

each optional milestone bumps memory fragment class

[remote thunder]

after you're done with the milestones from phase5, you can die but won't lose exp/milestone/phase progress anymore

[ripe sundial]

So it basically turns into a survival mode experience?

[remote thunder]

with a few tweaks, since it's exp7 but yes, at its heart

[ripe sundial]

ty

[hard gale]

So if I’m done with everything except for partners in time mission, will I still be able to die?

[remote thunder]

you can always die, but if you havent completed all phase 5 milestones yet when you do, progress gets reset

[hard gale]

So if not enough people complete the expedition, will no one complete it and get the frigate?

[remote thunder]

optional milestones and the milestone that unlocks the leviathan frigate aren't tied together

optional milestones reward is basically upgrading everyone's memory fragments class

[unkempt plaza]

ye there is a bug atm thats patched on experimental branch that makes it so you cant claim the final reward bcuz of the optional ones

[remote thunder]

yes, when that bug is fixed, every one will be able to claim the frigate, once they complete their exp run

[unkempt plaza]

^

[hard gale]

But to complete the fifth stage there is a mission that says partners in time. It says you have to find patterns in the loop. Which is the optional milestone. Am I reading this wrong?

[unkempt plaza]

your reading it wrong im p sure for that mission you gotta just hand smth in 5 times

bcuz i got the 5th stage fully completed and only phase 1 optional is done

so did alot of other people

[hard gale]

Ok I think I get it.

[remote thunder]

exactly

patterns in time just requires you to contribute 5 times to universal research loop

[unkempt plaza]

^

[remote thunder]

farm 5x250 liquid sun,or 5x200 ancestral memories, or 5x100 sonal dust

or a mix of the above

[unkempt plaza]

^^

[vale wind]

so i kinda killed my friend trying to get whispering egg extracts, can i give him my extracts so it will count for him as collecting it? 🤔

[remote thunder]

you can try, but i don't think it will - player has to collect them him/herself

[unkempt plaza]

^

[swift birch]

Killed as in had PVP on, or just accidentally led too many horrors to him and got him stuck?

[indigo falcon]

pretty sure player has to harvest, just like storm crystals

[ruby lily]

these eggs are the most difficult in this expedition...

[indigo falcon]

there's a couple things you can do

you can use another player's base; these are typically 4 walls around each cluster of eggs, then a very wide walkway at roof height of those walls so that you can hop up and easily go to the next... hop in, shoot one egg, grab core, watch as horrors glitch out from the area and are locked outside... take your time for the rest of the eggs too

[teal jetty]

what happens if you do the expedition with multiple saves?

can you?

[indigo falcon]

or: set up such a base yourself, or: if you have good jetpack, shoot egg on one side, go to other side of building, colleect eggs until they make it around to you, hop on roof (watch out for spitting attack);..

[junior cloak]

I just grabbed 2 eggs, then jumped to the roof of the building, waited and repeated.

[indigo falcon]

slow but works

[junior cloak]

Somewhat faster than building a base near them.

[indigo falcon]

yep, if you know you'll make it through first time, it's definitely faster

[umbral forum]

I just ran in circles around the abandoned building.

[junior cloak]

Is it just me or the loop progression increase and decrease sometimes??

I saw 50% an hour ago and now it says 46%... am I wrong?

I'm going to start to take screenshots to the percentage

[teal jetty]

maybe some ppl died and reset their loops or smthing??

idk

[junior cloak]

wait

it's fixed on 46%, but I'm still concerned

[vestal jasper]

how do the memory fragments work? do i get a new set every iteration or are they one time use for the entire expedition?

[jagged charm]

you get them by doing the challenge

or when you collect stuff for the loop

[swift birch]

They also disappear when you die, if that's what you're asking

Just like other inventory items/upgrades

[jagged charm]

my current collection XD

@indigo falcon been able to do you derelict?

[swift birch]

Lmao, that is so many potential nanites!

[jagged charm]

meh

im waiting till at least A class XD

[swift birch]

Hahaha, fair

[jagged ferry]

Meanwhile me who upgraded all my stuff from C

[swift birch]

I had a big overhaul fest after the first unlock too

[umbral forum]

Completing the expedition with c-class stuff is probably more exciting than being laden with s-class stuff.

[jagged charm]

well i collect nanites by hunting sentinels

much more fun XD

[umbral forum]

My survival main save just facetanks sentinel walkers.

[jagged charm]

i do to already Xd

and i dont even have decent shield mods

only good sentinel mods XD

[umbral forum]

Yeah. The supply canisters already recharge a lot of shields.

[jagged ferry]

Tbh the ai are just simple to dodge anyway

They have really simplistic leading

[umbral forum]

Still a big improvement compared to the old sentinels.

[jagged ferry]

The only really annoying sentinel is the dog

[jagged charm]

the dogs and repair bots are apaint tho

especially with a bad gun XD

[umbral forum]

I hope Polo likes Somnal Dust, because he will surelly get some.

[ripe sundial]

Any tips for derelic frighter? 1st time i'm ever doing one and I'm kinda nervous to have this as my breakpoint now 😅

[wild scaffold]

I died from a predator inside the ground

[stoic dagger]

Make sure to find the heaters in each room

[wild scaffold]

fuck this I’m going back to my main

[ripe sundial]

Are these hard to find?

[wild scaffold]

(for now)

[stoic dagger]

No, they're usually in the corners, but they might be covered in goo

[ripe sundial]

I took dmg from weird places, while my game was set to online in network settings, turned it off and now everything is fine

[wild scaffold]

my multiplayer was off

[umbral forum]

Don't try to be a hollywood hero. If you feel danger, pull back.

[craggy sun]

@ripe sundial I’d recommend having a personal shield as you are too slow to dodge projectiles on the derelicts

[wild scaffold]

I died from a “planetary predator”

[umbral forum]

Also, just see for yourself. Knowing what you will face removes the thrill of facing the unknown.

[wild scaffold]

there were no predators

[ripe sundial]

Alright, ty! 🙂

[craggy sun]

Good luck!

[lucid pasture]

Quick question, after finishing the expedition, do we get the leviathan on that save only or can i get it aswell on my normal save

[stoic dagger]

like all expedition awards its across all your saves

You redeem it from the Quicksilver Companion

[wind pebble]

We still have to do the community goals to get it

[stoic dagger]

No we don't

Mine is off doing missions right now

[wind pebble]

Then how do we get it

[stoic dagger]

If you are on standard, there is a bug

[wind pebble]

Because mine won't give it to me

[stoic dagger]

It's fixed in the experimental branch

[lucid pasture]

Thanks mate!

[wind pebble]

So when are they gonna patch for ps4

[stoic dagger]

Probably sometime this week since it's already in the experimental pipe, but I don't know how far behind the old consoles lag

[indigo falcon]

nah, this weekend. weekday ends too late, didn't even eat dinner yet and hoo boy those dishes piled up too

[wind pebble]

It says its complete but won't let me finish

[jagged charm]

oof

[jagged charm]

know bug

[indigo falcon]

I snuck in a few (vey few) minutes to check upgrades and prices at space stations, that's it for today. oh and make a few memory fragments

[jagged charm]

fixed in experimentel

ie next patch

[indigo falcon]

folks, don't forget to check the pinned messages in here. one answers some very frequent questions people have had during the expd.

[fair dirge]

uh... is the loop progression 0% for anyone else?

[junior cloak]

I also noted there's something weird with that percentage

But which one are you talking about?

[indigo falcon]

no I don't have that, or I didn't when I was in game for a few minutes earlier

[junior cloak]

the general percentage?

[fair dirge]

overall percentage is 0

[willow geyser]

now fill teh cargo

[fair dirge]

i'm reloading to see if it fixes

end of the day, i already completed the expedition. just want to help get the optional milestones for everyone

[umbral forum]

Working on it.

[jagged charm]

you know max contribution in a day is 20 right?

so 2k somal dus t a day

[umbral forum]

Just making a reserve so that I can log in, load off and sign out.

[jagged charm]

fair enough

[indigo falcon]

is that "max contribution you can't actually donate more" or "max contribution that counts"?

[jagged charm]

latter

[umbral forum]

You still get the goodies from Poolo.

[indigo falcon]

right

[fair dirge]

oh i didn't know that

interesting

[indigo falcon]

so if you know you won't have time to farm on a day, hold anything over 20 for that day to give... got it

[fair dirge]

i've been giving polo liquid sun

[umbral forum]

Leaving my char beating the terminal up while I watch a YouTube stream.

[dense basin]

Make sure you have a lot of batteries!

[jagged charm]

alright all thats left is making a mod that alters pirate timers

stupid pirates so lucky i couldnt get my maxed otu infra knife

[soft shadow]

Is the bug fix patch out yet?
ok thanks

[dense basin]

positron ejector doesn't need max to melt 😄

And then pirates kindly donated upgrades to me

So thoughtful

[jagged charm]

if iy doesnt overheat

or isnt out of range

[dense basin]

burst shots

[umbral forum]

Pirates are bros.

[jagged charm]

im am the pirate

[dense basin]

I know how to fly

[umbral forum]

who's the real pirate if we think about it

[jagged charm]

each freighter rescue mission was like OOh free loot

got rich qute fast

[dense basin]

I was happy every time I heard "threat detected"

[jagged charm]

well pirate were just annoying for me

stop

looping

around

me

[dense basin]

call an ambulance
but not for me

[jagged charm]

fck his shield recharged

[umbral forum]

Same. I could enter the space station, but I just stopped and waited for them to come for the free loot.

[dense basin]

positron does not give them that chance lol

[jagged charm]

well duirn exp no positron

so yeah

[dense basin]

I got lucky

[wraith junco]

why progress in tier 2 expedition optional reasersh falls?

[jagged charm]

and no i dont use my twtich/exp rewards

cause felt like cheating otherwise

[dense basin]

Got lucky with my weapon package too

[umbral forum]

The only one I get is usually the sandworm egg.

[swift birch]

Pirates are hilarious once you have ok ship weapons. Sitting around in space with my 22 salvaged data acting like cheese in a mousetrap 🪤

[dense basin]

M-T, I mean

Got a pulse spitter

[umbral forum]

In case I need to ride them to climb a cliff or something. But didn't use it in the expedition since I had a decent mount early in the game.

[jagged charm]

i mean im OP now

[wraith junco]

it was 63% now its 53ish

[jagged charm]

but still need better shipweapon

[dense basin]

I got posi really early - did we know rockets by default like we do in regular game?

[umbral forum]

This ugly f carried me throughout the playthrough.

[jagged charm]

mino all the way

[dense basin]

Mino was baller

I usually just use mine underwater

[jagged charm]

did far for this beauty

i saw it in Space Staion once

had to farm units for a bit

[dense basin]

Gold or silver trim?

Oh wow, I thought it was red

heh

[jagged charm]

took a risky screenshot for this XD

sentinel freighter + 4 fighter on my ass

MP was enabled so no pause timr XD

[dense basin]

This is my little guy

[hard gale]

Do I have to be on the extreme planet to shut down the sentinals forces or can I be elsewhere

[jagged charm]

can be any systems

[hard gale]

And can I dupe the storm crystal or do I have to collect them

[jagged charm]

why would you dupe them?

and no has to be collect

just use your minotaur

takes like 5mins to get 20

[hard gale]

To make easier. I’m very lazy

[jagged charm]

why play exp if you're gonna dupe

[wraith junco]

Expedition loop progression Is even lower now. 43% 😩 i give up.

[jagged charm]

it like using save editor to get everything

[dense basin]

Isn't it 43% from done not 43% done?

[swift birch]

It only triggers when you harvest them, not based on how many are in your inventory

[wraith junco]

43%done . It was 63 erlier

[hard gale]

Wait nvm just got a cluster of like 7

[jagged charm]

doubt its going down tho

would be real bothersome if it did XD

[muted tangle]

how modify my egg

before i giv berth

[wraith junco]

Well i played most of day today and it was 63% on tier2 erlier sooo....

[jagged charm]

weird

[wraith junco]

Maybe because pepole died?

[jagged charm]

think there is an faq command for that

check #bot-spam

[wraith junco]

Biggest issue is that game dosent say directly how to progress the loop. Is it the polo tasks or you have to die to begon next loop and unlock new things

[hard gale]

How do I disable a planets sentinel forces? I know it has something to do with like the sentinel pillar but other than that idk how.

[stoic dagger]

There's a panel on the pillar

[hard gale]

Oh. Do I just walk up and do it?

[stoic dagger]

Yes

[hard gale]

Thank you

[river plaza]

Any specific date yet on the patch to fix the optional objectives?

[hard gale]

Can I have some coordinates for any outlaw station?

[umbral forum]

Nice. I have a red exotic as my main ship in my main save.

[indigo falcon]

the loop is progressed by every time someone gives materials to polo (up to 20x day per account)

no deaths needed 🙂

[indigo falcon]

nope, "when the devs feel it's ready", I'd expect in a few days though

[umbral forum]

Will be sad to lose all that stuff if I randomly die due to unexplained circumstances.

[wraith junco]

But why its going down?

[indigo falcon]

see pinned messages "mini-faq", for one station

[hard gale]

Thank you. Will do

[indigo falcon]

maybe it's the percentage left that is decreasing?

I'm too lazy to get in game right now but if anyone wants to screenshot the progress bar and toss it up here we can at least have a frame of reference

[autumn plume]

wait the joke will be on us that the loops not a bug and we have to finish it 😆

[umbral forum]

If the community keeps with this pace, the progress will probably be complete by the time the expedition ends.

Although progress on weekdays will probably be lower than in the weekend.

[autumn plume]

yip😆 you get a whale, you get a whale and yoo

[ashen turret]

or maybe it'll be done before the bug gets fixed (yea, not likely, I know)

[autumn plume]

i already birthed a living ship waiting

[umbral forum]

Is it a boy or a girl?

[autumn plume]

not sure first one ive done was bored

[wary pasture]

Oh man I'm I think a day from my living ship on normal save. Sooo anxious

[junior cloak]

I took a screenshot when the percentage was at 46%

[umbral forum]

Maybe it only updates in specific circumsntances.

I've been beating up this computer terminal for at least 1.5 hours.

[lethal plume]

It was up to at least 54% earlier

[junior cloak]

Agree

[lethal plume]

galactic atlas says 42% atm

[junior cloak]

This whole thing is a little buggy.

[umbral forum]

k I'm bored from AFK'ing. Thsi should last a few days.

[lethal plume]

huh

how do you get that afk

[umbral forum]

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

[hard gale]

Any tips/advice before I start going to the 5th anchor point?

[ashen turret]

stock up on life support and hazard charge stuff

[hard gale]

Thank you. Am doing that rn

[indigo falcon]

get ready to run a derelict later in phase 5

other than that, just... don't die 😄

[hard gale]

Like a freighter?

[dusty pecan]

yeah the derelict is main thing

[lethal plume]

so just autohotkey q on a freighter?

[ashen turret]

and ... if you get shot at, use furniture for cover, like the lockers or doorways

[lethal plume]

i bet they patch it

I better go farm some up

[indigo falcon]

I'm going to be hugging the doorframe like my life depended on it (which it probably will 😄 )

[ashen turret]

Most of the scanners you can just run past

[indigo falcon]

the turrets you mean?

[lethal plume]

plasma launcher gooo

[dusty pecan]

I don't think there is bio monsters in the anchor system 5 derelict

[ashen turret]

yea

[indigo falcon]

don't have plasma launcher. you get whta you get.

no nests, true

[dusty pecan]

so it's just the squishy security drones and the turrets you can avoid

[ashen turret]

there aren't even security drones, only turrets

[hard gale]

Oh good.

[indigo falcon]

there are security drones in it

[ashen turret]

there were?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[umbral forum]

Geocannon = suicide in a can

[ashen turret]

how the hell did I not run into them then lol

[dusty pecan]

yeah but the drones are squishy enough that you can deal with them with even the mining beam

[junior cloak]

Not as dangerous as it used to be. We use it in PD now, after the updates

[indigo falcon]

what system did you run yours in, @ashen turret ?

[indigo falcon]

only if you have decent shields.

[dusty pecan]

heh might be time to instal it first time in 4 years

[umbral forum]

Done with today's contribution.

[ashen turret]

umm - I only did the one derelict for the actual story thing

[indigo falcon]

yeah the system 5 one? mv invictable or whatever?

[ashen turret]

yea ... whatever was at the last anchor point system I think?

[indigo falcon]

that has 4 or 5 drones in one room ad 4 or 5 in another, couple drones in a third and like 3-4 in a fourth, plus a few jellies here and there

along with the turrets

[ashen turret]

maybe I ended up clearing them out just from splash damage from shooting the turrets, idk

[indigo falcon]

could be, what were you using?

[ashen turret]

neutron cannon

[indigo falcon]

oh! heh that's what I'll be equipped with, interesting

gonna be a lot of "charge up... duck around door, fire, duck back, charge up..." etc

[ashen turret]

well I did have a full set of mods for it too, so maybe that helped lol

[indigo falcon]

a full set of mods meaning what?

[junior cloak]

I wish we had procedurally generated weapon mods like borderlands. Shooting unicorns and stuff like that.

[ashen turret]

3 or 4 mods for the neutron cannon installed

[unkempt plaza]

Honestly i just scatterblasted my game through the derelict mainly bcuz it was either that or the heccing bolt caster which i hate lol

[umbral forum]

I love the boltcaster.

[indigo falcon]

yeah but the difference between you and me is that you actually got the scatterblaster 😛

[unkempt plaza]

Boltcaster just isnt for me

[unkempt plaza]

I wouldnt consider myself lucky tho

Bcuz i got 3 base scatter blaster techs in a row of opening the memory

Like the game was like "3 take it or leave it"

[ashen turret]

let me go open up the expedition save and show what multitool I ended up using

I switched to one of my twitch drop multitools though after I got to the anomaly

and then filled in the slots as I got more expansions for it

[unkempt plaza]

Nice

[indigo falcon]

I got duplicate neutron cannons, don't worry

I missed those twitch drops but probably would not have used; I'm in the solar they gave us too, not the golden vector

[unkempt plaza]

Tbh ive had like 4-5 scatter blaster base techs total

Altho 3 of them where right after each other

My rng is just so bad lol

[teal jetty]

question. can i leave the game and come back later or will the expedition restart?

[ruby lily]

Hoe to get the reward from phase 4, Organic fragate calf plants?

[ashen turret]

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1817778245787267733/FC2CCD1CF7B0E656D41BDFECE7C02DB4F15A7408/

[stoic dagger]

Yes you can leave, just be sure to save, don't want to lose progress

[teal jetty]

ok ty. so it only restarts if i die?

[indigo falcon]

save your game, quit out, come back later, no worries

[stoic dagger]

Yes, don't die

[indigo falcon]

make sure you save in a base or something obviously

[ashen turret]

well, at least not more than once ...

[teal jetty]

why

[indigo falcon]

you want to be somewhere that you won't fall through (a space station or freighter might be bad) and certainly not out in the open where who knows what might be happening hazardwise when you spawn back in

[umbral forum]

I often save in the Anomaly.

[indigo falcon]

brave soul

[ashen turret]

that's the safe option IF NOT IN MULTIPLAYER MODE

[wraith junco]

Its not

[ruby lily]

Hey guys please how to get the reward from phase 4?

[autumn plume]

Maybe when more players start it drops again ?

[wraith junco]

Whitch one?

[ruby lily]

organic fragate calf plants... here is saying that this is the reward

[indigo falcon]

plans

[umbral forum]

It's a buildable object.

[indigo falcon]

yeah, make sure you claimed all the milestone rewards and then claim the phase one

that's it

next time you're at a base it should (heh) shouw up in the build menu someplace

[autumn plume]

Def there , I made one it's cute

[unkempt plaza]

Also for the loop (atleast when the optional milestones are selected) it does countdown how much % is needed till that tier is finished

[wraith junco]

Do all tasks in phase 4 then click on the iteration picture with ship and stars to claim

[ruby lily]

👍

[ripe sundial]

It's finally over 🤩

[indigo falcon]

got it done??

[ripe sundial]

Yeah!

[indigo falcon]

claim the role!

[ripe sundial]

Gladly, but which one is it? aren't there only 6 expedition roles so far?

[kindred acorn]

Hmmm. are the Optional Milestones part of that? are they a communal thing, across all the players, or can I progress that universal loop counts personally

[mint hatch]

It's across all players

[quiet radish]

anyone know why the optional mission progress is going down?

[raw wolf]

So....is it a bug that I can't complete the expedition and get the frigate or am I doing something wrong?
https://i.gyazo.com/36eddc0f3018854e556dc3d5d40ee3d4.jpg

[kindred acorn]

Huh. What's the list of all Planet Data: Weather type-names that count as Extreme Weather for storm crystal presence?

[fair dirge]

known bug

[kindred acorn]

collecting frigate is bugged, to be fixed soon#

confirmed fixed in Experimental Branch?

[ashen turret]

probably easier to just look at the color on the scan info

on the text

[raw wolf]

So at this point if I stick around to help a friend complete it and I die...will I lose the reward and have to go again?

[ashen turret]

they can appear during electrical storms even if they don't spawn normally

if you die you start over period

[kindred acorn]

Right, but how can I look at Planet Dat to tell if those storms might be present?

Trying to pick a planet to go back to for it, I forget the one near the first anchorpoint

[ashen turret]

it's a high probability if you see anything with activated metal

[unkempt plaza]

||if youve submitted to the leviathan and you die you still get the death screen and get send to the save reload BUT yoy jeep everything||

[indigo falcon]

opst a screenshot of the completion page and ping the mods (see pinned messages for details)

[ripe sundial]

Thank you. I clicked on the red pin like 10 times and got really confused since nothing helpful came up, just noticed there is another pin button😅

[umbral forum]

What's the name of the initial star system again?

[indigo falcon]

see the pinned messages

got all the names and glyphs too

but it's rowland-desk 😛

[umbral forum]

thanks.

[tame hearth]

Anyone having issues finding the third anchor point? I'm missing the quest for it. Iteration 1 and 2 are completed

[umbral forum]

I've created a Steam community guide for the AFK farm. Is there any place on the Discord server I can post it?

[indigo falcon]

selected the mission?

[tame hearth]

Missing the anchor point mission, oddly enough

[indigo falcon]

pic? you can post it in #nms-photomode-gallery for now

[tame hearth]

posted my iteration 2 complete and my quest log, 3 pages but there's a 30 sec delay between messages

[indigo falcon]

not that page, go to the expd phase 3 page with the badges and select 'anchor point 3'

then go to the galaxy map and select 'expedition path' ( I think it's called)

then get your warp on

[tame hearth]

Worked, thanks!

[main harbor]

No you will not.

[loud beacon]

Hey y’all’s, just tried to do the learn words from aliens mission, and everything is greyed out as I have apparently already learned it. Any idea how to get around that?

[vagrant crystal]

What do I do when the loop memory for wake the past spawns deep underground to the point that I can't dig to it?

I had this same issue in the last expedition btw

[smoky meadow]

the marker might be underground while it's actually in a different location btw

[serene coral]

Hiya. I'm on stage 2 of the current expedition. I contributed to and completed the optional in stage 1 and it unlocked my memory upgrades to level B. I have received a few B's since.

I just contributed a ton of Somnal Dust and was awarded level C's again. Anybody else experienced that?

[vagrant crystal]

I hope that gets fixed because It caused me to quite the last expedition.

[serene coral]

Also, since my last death (my fourth and the most annoying as I had to do it to myself since there wasn't a shred of D-Hydrogen on the planet) all of the beings in the space stations apart from those in their shops are Travellers. Rather odd.

[umbral forum]

lol

And those NPCs were meant to be tied to the seed as far as I know.

[rapid thunder]

Wow. The Anchor points were difficult to get to this time. Waaay up the huge mountains.

And the derelict freighter mission almost killed me. ||Didn't expect the scanners and guardian bots. 😎 ||

[topaz dock]

Wait so I logged into my reg save and none of the build stuff is there from leviathan …what I need to do or is it only on that save? -noob questions

[rapid thunder]

Claim it from the QuickSilver dealer in the Nexus.

[topaz dock]

Copy, heading that way to finish gatherings quick for a living egg anywhoo

[rapid thunder]

Or wait... do you mean your base from your Expedition save?

[topaz dock]

Nope like trails for ship and decorations

[rapid thunder]

Ah. QuickSilver dealer. 👍

[topaz dock]

There they is, thanks much

[rapid thunder]

Enjoy.

[whole crest]

Can someone explain how to “smuggle” something? I bought stuff in a outlaw system and sold it elsewhere and I guess that doesn’t count?

[umbral forum]

Gotta sell it in a different non-pirate controlled system. They should be contraband goods too. Not sure if they need to be sold on the space station terminal or if any other terminal is fine.

[whole crest]

Hmmm I thought I did that. Maybe not. Guess I’ll try again. And there’s no good way to find outlaw systems unless you get a conflict scanner, right?

[umbral forum]

I think the economy scanner works too.

[rapid thunder]

Economy or Conflict scanner. Or both.

[swift birch]

There's also one pretty close to the starting system, one of the pinned messages has the name

[umbral forum]

There is a pirate system near the starting star. It's a Gek system if I remember it correctly, so you can use the race filter to find it more easily.

[rapid thunder]

True. But if you're too far away... the next Outlaw system is usually around the corner. 😄

[swift birch]

Lol fair

[whole crest]

Ah ok. I’ll see if I can find it in my portal list. I’m actually sat at the final system now just cleaning up things I missed

[rapid thunder]

I miss my final reward. Eagerly waiting for a patch...

[tidal fiber]

expedition 7. no one is in the anomaly. there's usually at least one or two people. it's freaking me out

[rapid thunder]

Until then I'll contribute to the community goals. Probably after too. Want it see done. 😄

[rapid thunder]

Restart the game? Check your WiFi?

[umbral forum]

You can AFK farm somnal dust for the community goals.

[tidal fiber]

im online now talking to you and i use ethernet

[rapid thunder]

That's fun. Somehow I also like the Liquid Sun one... can collect while I explore planets.

[rapid thunder]

I sometimes have to restart my game or even my PC for that.

[tidal fiber]

yeah something is off, polo isn't accepting my liquid sun

[umbral forum]

Do you have 250 or more of it?

[tidal fiber]

yes

[rapid thunder]

Sometimes HG also does maintenance on their servers. If that's the case, try again in roughly 15 minutes.

[hard gale]

do I need to use the spoiler thing

To type smth about the story

[rapid thunder]

Yes, ideally.

[hard gale]

How is that done

[umbral forum]

||this will be censored||

[tidal fiber]

@rapid thunder something screwy is going on. or this save is glitched

[hard gale]

||I am standing in front of the leviathan, and it asks me if I’m ready to untie the loop. Do I do it?||

[rapid thunder]

Can I upload a base and claim it again in another save?

[rapid thunder]

Did you restart everything?

[tidal fiber]

if i turn off my pc, it's for the rest of the night lol

[rapid thunder]

No idea. That quest is bugged for me. Someone else needs to answer that.

[rapid thunder]

What can I say... sleep well? 😄

[ashen turret]

the quest works fine lol

[fair dirge]

do it

that's what you need to do to complete the expedition

[rapid thunder]

Good for you. 😄

[hard gale]

Ok thank you.

[fair dirge]

now don't freak out with what it does next

||just jump back into the file and you'll still have everything||

[ashen turret]

the screen's ... a bit different

[primal rock]

So I died in expedition but when restarting Polo doesn't tell me anything. The only options for polo are ask about anomoly, get atlas station coordinates or get black hole coordinates. Anyone else have this issue?
