nms-expedition

[foggy cloak]

You don't

[unkempt plaza]

(i thkn the only use for it is refining it + smth else for nanites lol)

think*

[willow geyser]

right only that living ship mission could get use of it

[unkempt plaza]

or refining it for nanites along with smth else in a medium/large refiner afaik

@willow geyser hexite might be a decent way to farm nanites (if you got a steady supply of faecium) bcuz this space station sells like around 120 at most at a time xD

(only other use for it apart of the living ship thing tho 😂 )

its not alot but every bit helps lol (nanite wise)

[alpine zealot]

Faecium is a thousand times easy to gain in bulk. Feed the animals xD

[unkempt plaza]

fair xD

[ashen shore]

After which phase is the cape reward?

[indigo falcon]

three I think

[kindred acorn]

wow, when did special foods give special buffs? never seen this before, thanks Whispering omlette!

[indigo falcon]

they have started including the hint in the hover card only since ... outlaws maybe? earlier? recent

[unkempt plaza]

ye

think it was either sentinal up or outlaws ye

[livid marsh]

where is a planet with agressive animals along the route?

[tough sluice]

Starter planet

[livid marsh]

okay. thanks

[indigo falcon]

striders and one other creature over there like traveller blood

[kindred acorn]

yeah, I managed to distract an attacker, made it companion 🙂

[calm anchor]

If you have the whispering horror egg from the earlier expeditions it also counts

[true bronze]

any good leads on a decent multitool upgrade along the Expedition route?

[fringe agate]

https://youtu.be/oYjqGcol1e8

Sidenote - best narration voice for NMS

[true bronze]

Well then, thank you

[calm anchor]

Yeah I found an S class rifle that was like a single jump from the starting planet iirc

In a pirate system too

Ya know, speaking of, I don't even know what happens if the sentinels catch you smuggling lmao

[obtuse mirage]

Hi I’m having problems with iteration 2 the anchor milestone. I’ve done what’s required but It won’t say it’s completed

Anyone know what’s wrong and how to fix

[calm anchor]

Did you go to the portal on the anchor planet?

[obtuse mirage]

Yea

[calm anchor]

It should be completed then, odd. Did the memory resonator work?

[obtuse mirage]

Yea I’ve done all that then went to an infested plant made a base uploaded it but it never worked

[unkempt plaza]

it might be the base 1 (in which case you need 16 structure pieces total)

[obtuse mirage]

I tried a different plant but it also didn’t work

[calm anchor]

Ah

[unkempt plaza]

you need 16 pieces on the build total

so all together you need to build something with atleast 16 parts

[obtuse mirage]

O ok I’ll try that

[calm anchor]

Yeah I just spammed some timber floors then thin timber walls

[obtuse mirage]

Same

Only enough to upload it tho

[calm anchor]

Dang, even having the expedition completed doesn't return research prices to normal

[merry elm]

so my game still says expedition complete and won't let me start it, anyone else having this problem?

[obtuse mirage]

Yea I’m stumped I’ve done that uploaded it again and it’s not working

[wild scaffold]

Polo is still not working

[indigo falcon]

ods has been weird again

sorry...

[wild scaffold]

it says it’s active

but is it really?

I’ll just ignore polo for now

[true bronze]

Hah that narrator is pretty funny

[wild scaffold]

actually I can’t

He gives the hyperdrive

[unkempt plaza]

what you mean with it says expedition complete and it wont let you start it?

like it wont let you start what exactly?

[merry elm]

the expedition

i go to create new save, and the expedition says "expedition complete" and won't let me start

as if the expedition had just finished

[unkempt plaza]

hmm

[fringe agate]

Lol, I like her

[merry elm]

i've tried reinstalling and validating files and using the experimental branch and nothing has helped

[unkempt plaza]

im not sure tbh-

[indigo falcon]

sounds like ods out

[merry elm]

ods?

[indigo falcon]

online discovery services

you need ot to be on to start a new expd save

[wild scaffold]

Online Discovery Service

[merry elm]

how would i fix that

[wild scaffold]

You can’t

[indigo falcon]

once it's started you don't need it for everything (though in this expd you need it for certain things like Polo interactions)

[ancient sierra]

any good spots to find storm crystals?

[indigo falcon]

hg needs to fix

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message "mini-faq" here

[merry elm]

so what i just have to wait and hope they fix it?

oof

[wild scaffold]

yep

[unkempt plaza]

they wil fix it its just being kinda weird rn bcuz the patch went live earlier

[indigo falcon]

they will fix it, it prevents some crucial things working in the expedition

[unkempt plaza]

but the ODS is litterly needed for any multiplayer interaction etc (and some parts of the exp)

[merry elm]

i've been having this issue since the first day of the expedition, so i don't think its related to that patch

[unkempt plaza]

wel if you had it since day 1 you might have wanted to make a bug report bcuz it couldve been included in todays patch-

[merry elm]

i did (before the patch)

[indigo falcon]

well this particular issue a bunch of people are having so.

[wild scaffold]

I’m pretty sure HG is aware of it

[merry elm]

ok

[indigo falcon]

bot thinks it's working but it's been bouncing up and down so

[wild scaffold]

imagine expanding copper into more copper

doing that while waiting for the fix

[merry elm]

so just wait till i get a ping for another patch?

[indigo falcon]

no it won't be a patch

they will kick someting on their side

[merry elm]

oh

[wild scaffold]

Hopefully

[indigo falcon]

during warps and teleports the game tries to reconnect so you could do that from time to time

[wild scaffold]

I want to at least get to where I was

before the ground claimed me

[indigo falcon]

it's an ||AI voice, || dunno if that's a spoiler so.

[thick smelt]

I got all the whispering eggs, then died to pissing off a creature and got 1 shot 💀

Welp, time to try again 🤣

[fringe agate]

Trailer lady, or close enough

[wild scaffold]

rip

[indigo falcon]

good luck!

[wild scaffold]

you don’t want to take risks to say the least

Does the sentinel pillar objective give you sentinel pillar coords?

[thick smelt]

Now I need to reroll until I get the scatter blaster again, it's the best weapon for farming eggs

[vivid wing]

To get the leviathan, is it like community research where many people have to participate? Or can I just unlock it, I completed the expedition but only did 1 of the optional things

[wild scaffold]

because if it does I’m going to farm a summoner for my 20 kills

[indigo falcon]

unlock yourself

[thick smelt]

Go visit the quicksilver merchant in the relay

[vivid wing]

The frigate?

[wild scaffold]

Yep

[vivid wing]

Pain:(

[indigo falcon]

yes, you can just claim it

[wild scaffold]

It’s free for all saves

[thick smelt]

At the quicksilver merchant at the relay right? It's where I got my BAD ASS cape from the last one

[wild scaffold]

yes

[vivid wing]

Yesterday it said 15% for something, I thought that meant the leviathan

Or do I have to complete the optional stuff

[indigo falcon]

you get a sentinel map after the pugneum dreams milestone, unfortunately

[wild scaffold]

Pugneum dreams is the 20 kills one right?

[vivid wing]

Yes

[wild scaffold]

good

that very useful

[indigo falcon]

"hey, we know you probably don't need this now, so here you go"

[wild scaffold]

Because I thought I needed to defeat the walker

Luckily I don’t

[indigo falcon]

oh. no no

[wild scaffold]

wdym?

Is pugneum dreams the 20 kills or the pillar deactivation

[indigo falcon]

pugneum dreams is the 20 kills

[wild scaffold]

that’s good

[indigo falcon]

no you don't have to defeat a walker for anything

[unkempt plaza]

you dont need to complete the optional stuff (it was a bug that got patched earlier) for the final reward

[indigo falcon]

I mean, unless you want to!

[wild scaffold]

hell no

[unkempt plaza]

there is a reason they are optional lol

[vivid wing]

So I can claim it later today?

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[vivid wing]

Thank god I didn’t delete the save

[unkempt plaza]

the patch is already out so you can claim it already technicly xD

[indigo falcon]

yes, live on all platforms

[vivid wing]

So the optional stuff was just to make it easier?

[fringe agate]

Tell that to @odd lagoon

[wild scaffold]

Well I completed 2 optional objectives already completely by accident

[indigo falcon]

the community completed them

[unkempt plaza]

^

was about to say that

[indigo falcon]

you know how everyone doing nexus missions unlock together a new part at the quicksilver shop over some days?

that's what this is. just like that.

submissions to polo = progress

[wild scaffold]

Bob hates Polo
Reasons:
• Gek

Wasn’t the patch supposed to fix the ODS requirement

[unkempt plaza]

im p sure the main thing for the patch was fixing the final reward lol

[unkempt plaza]

that fix isnt for the optional ones lol

(unless im understanding you wrong)

[wild scaffold]

I can’t progress in the expedition because polo has the wrong dialogue

[unkempt plaza]

ye i think that fix wasnt aimed at that-

p sure that was for a diff bug (idk for sure tho)

[wild scaffold]

idk either

But I’ve heard whispers

[remote thunder]

and that might be due to ODS failing, indeed.

[indigo falcon]

yep, I'd bet a virtual beer or other drink of your choice on that

[wild scaffold]

I bet 100 million units

just broke through 500 million even though I have done very little

[unkempt plaza]

i bet a shiny piece of nickel

[wild scaffold]

I bet 1 Faecium

[indigo falcon]

when ods is up we see people able to submit, just sayin...

[wild scaffold]

I abandoned my activated indium farm

but now I need chromatic metal

Sean when will we be able to select an amount instead of taking it all

[indigo falcon]

from a container?

[kindred acorn]

oh gorrammit. I think buggy fall damage trying to find a grave just YEET'd me

[wild scaffold]

hell

[unkempt plaza]

lol

[wild scaffold]

fun activities while waiting for ODS to work

I only needed 250

[indigo falcon]

matter beam and freighter containers

[wild scaffold]

I know

[kindred acorn]

25+ hours in this expedition. I'm glad I've done manual file backups, not got time like that to waste on 'hardcore' gaming

[indigo falcon]

but yeah in the expd who is gonna have the 5 salv frigate modules? heh

[wild scaffold]

cheating

[indigo falcon]

not even a bit. 25 hours of play is plenty, certainly meets the bar for work put in!

[wild scaffold]

I’m good at wasting time in expeditions

professional time waster

[indigo falcon]

sometimes I wander around, not this one. still 17 hours (so far) though.

[wild scaffold]

This one is stressful

your progress could be gone at any moment

[indigo falcon]

and this mode is not particularly forgiving about damage

[wild scaffold]

nope

early game survival vibes

Maybe during Christmas this year all the old expeditions can be rerun

[indigo falcon]

how would they do the progress bar for this in 2 weeks though.

[wild scaffold]

hopefully

Or summer maybe

[indigo falcon]

last year's rerun of those 4, everything was shortened to a 2 week duration per expd.

guess we'll see if they do it at all

[wild scaffold]

well if they did that then it would be 14 weeks

that’s a long time

and that’s assuming they don’t have any new ones

[indigo falcon]

oh I assume they only rerun this year's. or maybe none at all...

[wild scaffold]

no golden vector (reward) rip

[indigo falcon]

eh?

oh. you weren't able to do expd1? gotcha

[wild scaffold]

I know I can get it through other players

[indigo falcon]

right

[wild scaffold]

I only did expedition 6

[indigo falcon]

or save edit in if you're on pc

[wild scaffold]

I started playing this year

[calm anchor]

Watch them make a special multi tool reward for the 4.0 expedition

[wild scaffold]

I haven’t cheated yet

[wild scaffold]

X-Class 48-Slot MT

I’m going to try again in an hour

Exp 7

[calm anchor]

Or maybe something with like a "technology delimiter", where you can overload tech and it'll still work, but you'll like drain your shield or something when using it

Some heavy cost to make it usable but very risky

Or draining life support

[wild scaffold]

people would still complain that they can’t get it

[calm anchor]

And while one or two extra techs wouldn't be too much drain, dedicating like 80% of the mt to one module will drain you fast

Could be neat

Or maybe like, a multi-tool modeled after actual sentinel tech

Royal multitools look more like exotic ships than sentinel items

[wild scaffold]

You just hold a heavy drone

[humble berry]

is it only anchor point 4 that has aggressive sentinels?

[tired condor]

Yeah

[wild scaffold]

ODS still not working properly

[lunar flax]

How to change starship trails?

[worn pine]

Oh yeah is there any way to get more base blueprints?

[hazy sonnet]

Which planetary chart gives me the location of a crashed freighter?

[worn pine]

I'm gonna tear all my hair out before grinding 100 scraps for a landing pad

[indigo falcon]

you can research blueprints at the Anomaly for some salvaged data

[fringe agate]

Distress

[indigo falcon]

oh the expedition

heh

[hazy sonnet]

Thank you

[worn pine]

Yeah, lel

[indigo falcon]

you're kinda screwed like the rest of us...

[worn pine]

Raaats

[indigo falcon]

go dig or do without or save edit or get someone who save edited them in or dug the data to add the items for you... or

[fringe agate]

You build them in your ship, they are tech

[worn pine]

Oh right, explains some of the bases near rendez points, thought there was some legit way to do that

[indigo falcon]

some people did actually go dig up salv data for teleporter-solar panel-batteries for example

that's a lot of digging

[orchid fossil]

I finished the exp but did anyone else experience mass amount of pirates?

[wild scaffold]

some

[orchid fossil]

Seemed like every time I boosted (forgot what it’s called) I had an interaction with a pirate

[indigo falcon]

pulsed

yep the pirates were overeager in this expd

[orchid fossil]

Gotcha, was getting quite annoying

[worn pine]

Not a mass, maybe permadeath has an increased number of hostiles, just like it has more extreme/sentinel planets

[indigo falcon]

*survival

[lunar flax]

Is it a good idea to get a new starship? or I can get through just fine with the initial ship I got? I already got a ton of investments in it already so

[indigo falcon]

if you're doing fine in the expedition, just keep on

if you consider playing this save after the expedition ends, you'll eventually want to upgrade the class of your ship or add to the fleet with someting with better stats

but now, not really needed

[lunar flax]

Oh, I didnt know we can still play the expedition after it ends, that's good, I thought after 5 weeks everything is gone except our collectibles

[indigo falcon]

no

[keen musk]

the expedition quests wont be available after the expedition ends unfortunately, but the save will still remain (as survival mode)

[indigo falcon]

it will offer to convert to a survival mode save which you can then keep playing

[keen musk]

all of your items and whatnot will be kept though!

[indigo falcon]

I wonder if generating memory fragments will work after... I am guessing no 😄

[keen musk]

huh, i mean i dont see why not, especially considering that you probably wont have the recipe revoked

for the modules, anyway 🤷

[indigo falcon]

mmmmmmm

[summer oyster]

I have the exact same stats and info.

[ashen turret]

Expedition 7 complete.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1817778245791013172/ED3EC10553068F3EF7EF0108D37A417B38D146B0/

[unkempt plaza]

nice

[willow geyser]

aight then they are set stats

[junior shard]

How many ppl have died here on anchor 4 lol?

I haven't yet but

it has deeeep cliffs

I think I would have died if I didn't use the minotaur there 😂

[indigo falcon]

I died, "fall" damage (incline too steep to descend, earlier minotaur had got stuck on cliff wall and I had to reload so that was thta)

[granite vine]

After I died on that hellscape I turned into a mole and tunneled my way off that planet

[indigo falcon]

need a whole discussion room dedicated to anchor 4 horror stories 😄

[wary cloud]

I died to literally nothing on that planet 😛

[granite vine]

Wonder how many lives that anchor has taken

[indigo falcon]

technically ||one|| 😄

loop de loop etc

[granite vine]

I guess a better way to word it would be, I wonder how many people have had breakdowns because of that anchor

[unkempt plaza]

lol

[limber ivy]

Finished the Exp. today... literally exhausted lol

[latent wigeon]

About to see if they actually fixed the completion of expo 7

[hollow tendon]

hallo

how to find a system with pirates?

I was lucky to find her, but it was my death

[uneven sandal]

After dying randomly while standing in a space station, I figured I'd wait for the patch until I dove back into the expedition. Third times the charm, right? 😅

Finding Outlaw Systems

Requires economy scanner or conflict scanner installed on ship.

In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

Contributors: bkay201#1943

[latent wigeon]

I finished it 1st day but couldn't claim last reward. Now they fixed it

[limber ivy]

i used economy scanner... total cost to get it was 3k nanites i thnk

[uneven sandal]

Wow, that's a handy bot! 😍

[limber ivy]

yeh i all worked for me today... love the cape the most

[latent wigeon]

I need my expo 7 role

[wraith venture]

yeah, it sucks that in expeditions, tech's so expensive

[wraith venture]

yesss Guntie's just lovely

[latent wigeon]

I could be wrong. But I think this is the first expo that they made the tech expensive like this

[hard gale]

How do I claim the leviathan frigate?

[wraith venture]

i gave it to you but for future reference, ping mods so your proof screenie's not missed

[latent wigeon]

Sweet. I have my new role.

[wraith venture]

!LeviathanRole for anyone else wanting the role

[unkempt kraken]

for anyone else wanting the role

Leviathan role is manually assigned, when you DM or ping <@&590975379678953522> with proof of completion: screenshot of the Expedition tab: Final Phase: 5/5 completed. See example »

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

[tired condor]

My ship had another ship spawn on top of it in the station and I kept getting damage, reload da fuq outta there lol

[latent wigeon]

Will do. Thanks.

[limber ivy]

i hope on next exped they have normal track and perma track with better rewards.

[wraith venture]

correct. going along the lines with its difficulty level, being roguelike i guess

[latent wigeon]

Technically I should have had it last week. Lol

Glad they got this bug fixed though.

[hard gale]

It still says 4/5 in loop 5 cause I haven’t completed helping polo search for patterns in the loop. Isn’t that the optional missions?

[unkempt plaza]

im p sure it wil say "optional milestone" if its a optional one so i'd just check

[hard gale]

It doesn’t say optional

[latent wigeon]

No. It the missions that you give him the items

[unkempt plaza]

afaik tho you need to give atleast 5 of a combo of the items to polo

[latent wigeon]

That go towards the optional milestones

[unkempt plaza]

for it to count for that mission

[unkempt plaza]

then its clearly not a optional one lol

[hard gale]

Ya i read it wrong lol. So what do I need to give him?

[unkempt plaza]

just read what the quest says (it should say 1/5 for example) in which case give him 4 more of any combo of the things he asks for

[latent wigeon]

If you look in your log at the loop research missions. It's basically. Just doing those 5 times.

[unkempt plaza]

^

[hard gale]

Ok

[latent wigeon]

The ancestral memories. Liquid sun or the dust one.

[ashen shore]

I cant find navigation data please help me im crying

I cant find storm crystals as well or an animal to attack me

[dusty pecan]

For storm crystal the first anchor system has a great toxic planet with those

nice flat terrain that is easy move around

and assuming you need the nav data for distress signal maps the the 1st anchor system space station cartographer should have his 15 nanite trade as distress maps

[wild scaffold]

Dialogue with polo for me is still broken

it might be because my save is broken

[ashen shore]

wich one is that

the nameee

:(

[dusty pecan]

Mapon VIII

it's on the pinned messages on this channel too

[ashen shore]

oh

[ashen shore]

:( Is not saved for me?

[dusty pecan]

you need the system name?

Cebrac-Eliwyn was the system name I think

[ashen shore]

oki thank u

[limber ivy]

I didnt have to shoot one sentinel. Got 20 via Sentinel Pillars

[uneven sandal]

That happened to me as well! I never reloaded so quickly. 🤣

[ashen shore]

can someone PLEASE help me find the fourth travers grave

Super stuck right at the end

[tired condor]

You did the memory machine thing?

And you’re using your visor to ping it out

[ashen shore]

Yes and yes except I’m not in the right system and I can’t find it on the galaxy map

[tired condor]

If you click on the objective in the expedition tab it doesn’t lead you there?

[ashen shore]

Nope

Just says to use the expadition trail to find it which is now gone because I’ve already completed phase 5

[wraith badge]

go to a station and use the telporter to go to Chistor-Olev XIII Station which is the system that Phase 4 is in

if you want the planet, check the pins ... 7th one down

[ashen shore]

How do I use the teleported on the station to do that?

There’s no search function

I know what star system it’s called. Just can’t find a way to get there

[tired condor]

If you don’t have it in your list check player bases

At least one should say “4” in it or something

[ashen shore]

Nope tried that too not showing up for some reason there’s not the major list of player bases it’s only showing like 6 bases made by other players

[wraith badge]

If you visited the station when you entered the system then it will be in your list, just select the Stations option on the left to list only station and it will be in the list, if you didn't visit the station then you may be able to find a base in the system that's listed ... as mentioned look for a base with 4 in the title

[ashen shore]

Ya you guys are repeating thanks but again I’ve already tried that. Found it on the map though thanks

[wraith badge]

in future when you enter a system, visit the station it will then be listed in the station teleporter list

[tired condor]

Was gonna suggest that but wasn’t sure how hard it would be to randomly spot in the map

[wraith badge]

and all you need to do when visiting the station is exit ship and get back in it again, the station will then appear in the list

[tired condor]

I thought you had to access the teleporter 🤷🏻‍♂️

[desert mesa]

expedition 7 is insane, but why did it start me in a situation where I can't even partly fix my ship?

there has to be something I'm missing

[tired condor]

You should be able to fix

What are you missing

[wraith badge]

I never have, just land and exit ship and get back in ship and leave, makes a handy auto save and if you then jump to another system the system you just left will be in the teleporter list ... used to do that when looking for vendors that sold specific upgrades at S class

[indigo falcon]

check the milestones

you won't like it but check them, they tell you what you need to know about completing the ship repair...

[sullen hill]

please say im supposed to submit to the leviathan to end the loop and I didnt just lose literally the enire expedition

it seems i didnt lose progress

[desert mesa]

hermetic seal, no crafting blueprint

[calm anchor]

Die

Really

[tired condor]

Yeah gotta die once

[calm anchor]

That's the answer

[hushed steeple]

You did it right.

[sullen hill]

i cannot describe the releif i felt after seeing my progress had not been lost after the death message

[calm anchor]

Congrats you now have normal death mechanics

[desert mesa]

oh damn

guess I'll die

[calm anchor]

Pull out the LTG memes

[inner oasis]

Nice jump scare right? XD

[sullen hill]

oh my god i was so scared 😂

[shy narwhal]

yea, I was like this is complete BS

[indigo falcon]

(don't spoil for other folks though)

[hard gale]

Can you put the temporal starship trail on a living ship?

[rotund jewel]

so i did the expedition

[hard gale]

If so, how

[rotund jewel]

less than 4 hrs, only died at the beginning for the mission

maybe im just already super cautious when i play this game, but i found it to be quite easy

even tho i had only a blaze javelin the whole time

[sullen hill]

How are y’all getting the new expedition role? It’s not in the times chat

[noble wagon]

It's a technology

[hard gale]

Which tech do I put it next to

[unkempt plaza]

check pinned msg's

second one down

[sullen hill]

Bet thx

[noble wagon]

Well if you want to go faster put it in between nada and polo tech

Otherwise it doesn't really matter.

[hard gale]

Like do I put it next to neural assembly or the pulsing heart or smth else

[noble wagon]

You can put it next to whatever. But if you want to fly faster put in the nada and polo bobbleheads and put the trail in between them.

[hard gale]

Oh.

[noble wagon]

You are looking for white boxes around the trail. If it shows that it's boosted.

One sec I'll show you. @hard gale

And sorry it's Artemis and polo not nada.

Like so @hard gale

[junior shard]

I think my derelict freighter is bugged

taking random damage with everything maxed out

and no sentinels or agressive things

[wild scaffold]

Pirates my beloved

[junior shard]

made it out

very glad lol

[flint rivet]

my expedition 6 character wont switch to normal mode? is there something im doing wrong orrr?

[pseudo cargo]

is the expedition still open?

[flint rivet]

we're on expedition 7 now

[unkempt plaza]

The leviathan one is still going ye

[pseudo cargo]

oh good thanks

[unkempt plaza]

(for 5 more weeks)

[pseudo cargo]

ok thanks

[obtuse mirage]

Does the reward auto transfer to other saved @ me

[flint rivet]

@obtuse mirageu have to pick them up from the quicksilver guy in the anomaly but yeah u can get the rewards

[unkempt plaza]

Ye you can claim them in any save from the quick silver companiob

Companion*

[obtuse mirage]

👍 thanks

That robot with the yellow ball

[unkempt plaza]

Ye

[obtuse mirage]

K thanks

[junior shard]

Sophis is the Anchor 5 system right

[fringe agate]

Yes

[junior shard]

ty :d

Only need two more storm crystals and || call the leviathan ||

waiting on a storm to start here lol

[fringe agate]

Weeee

[junior shard]

to be fair

I dont think storms can be on this planet 😂

[silent agate]

Frigate..?

[junior shard]

oh lmao

I went to the starting system

vs the anchor 1 system

[hybrid jewel]

man, i did the storm crystals the hardway... did not even think of using the minotaur when i did it.... that planet was rough

[junior shard]

lol it's hilarious how fast the protection drains

I got 3/5 crystals in the anchor 4 planet in a minotaur from someone's base

but man

I kept jetpacking into cliffs I couldn't leave anymore and had to reload

so now went to the anchor 1 system from the pinned messages

[indigo falcon]

I had this happen once and realized the minotaur was ot going to be workable on that terrain

[junior shard]

yeah

didn't risk jetpacking out outside and falling also 😂

[leaden belfry]

anybody have extra resource we get from derelicts? for the expedition

[dusty pecan]

nomad is the choice for those huge mountain planets

it can go up allmost any cliff

[indigo falcon]

if you don't get a reply in here, you might ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[junior shard]

dudes I completed it but

|| I teleported in a random base which has no exit, and I cant leave ?? ||

[indigo falcon]

report the base

quick menu, all the way to the right

don't need access to the base computer

[junior shard]

thanks

that removed it and I'm freed 😄

some ppl really suck

[indigo falcon]

if the base rendering worked properly you would have landed in side it, I guess it was probably set up as a welcoming area but there's this bug....

I land halfway through the floor in my bases all the time and it's really annoying

[junior shard]

there's another base next to it called "YOU MADE IT!"

which has an exit

but this was literally just a house without a door

so you're stuck lol

[indigo falcon]

oh, no door?

I've seen people stuck underneath the one, see

yeah no door = that person is a jerk

[blazing nova]

what are corrupted starforms

[junior shard]

yeah no door

was just a room like this

spoiler tag just to be sure

had to screenshot while reporting

[indigo falcon]

I bet that was the foundation, and the rest was above (typical to elevate a base above the terrain)

[junior shard]

so took a screeny which covered the entire thing

[indigo falcon]

hard to know though

[blazing nova]

got the loop collapse event with corrupt starforms stuck on my log

[indigo falcon]

eh?

[junior shard]

so if you die now

[indigo falcon]

what does it show?

[desert mesa]

died to reset the loop and the game stopped responding lmao

[indigo falcon]

huh

[junior shard]

do you still loose everything if you die now? 😛

[indigo falcon]

lovely

[indigo falcon]

and did you... go to the anomaly or otherwise get away from them, or...?

[blazing nova]

I haven't seen whatever they are

[junior shard]

I think that message stayed a while for me as well

[blazing nova]

just a notification

[junior shard]

but never saw what they were as well

[blazing nova]

I am being stalked by ghost ships tho

[junior shard]

I just ran after every grave 😂

[indigo falcon]

they are three, well, leviathans basically

[blazing nova]

WHERE DO i GO TO SHOOTS THEM

sad they're not showing up

[indigo falcon]

can't help you there. I ran from mine and things seem to be ok, I'll find out tomorrow when I log back in

what milestone is next for you?

[junior shard]

buying the badge @fringe agate 😄

Ty

Oh I forgot the Outlaws one lol

No wait, Outlaws one was called Blighted

I forgot to claim Exobiology, claimed all 7 now 😄

[desert mesa]

this expedition is so chaotic

[remote thunder]

unsure if general knowledge, in case anyone's looking to run DFs for dust or bulkheads, anchor 3 has a b-class DF, 7 rooms, no bugs only drones+turrets

[fair dirge]

I had something similar happen to me. got out of it by calling my starship so that i could hop into it through the wall

it's super frustrating that that's even a thing

intentional or not

[umbral forum]

So.

Some people mentioned that one can only do 20 contributions a day that can be counted for the community goal.

But when does that cooldown get reset?

I have dust with me, but I don't think more than 24 hours have passed since my last drop off.

[gritty depot]

What are the stats on the organic frigate? are they random?

[timid ledge]

sooo these memory modules, should I just absorb them for this new character i made to start the expedition? or later will i be able to give it to my main character?

[smoky meadow]

no way to give it to other saves

[timid ledge]

sadge

[smoky meadow]

also unless you are really experienced you will probably need those upgrades

[timid ledge]

im not

so good to know lole

[acoustic spruce]

That expedition can eat my left one.. excited for the next.

[wary cloud]

So, Community optional stuff... I've gotten decent at farming somnal dust, but I'm curious... do we know if all three turn-ins give the same % toward completion, or are they worth different amounts?

[ashen turret]

<@&257147404178948096> for role please

[fringe agate]

No no

[fringe agate]

Let's use Admin ping for emergencies, like slurs and such

[smoky meadow]

worth the same and there is also a daily limit on submissions of 20

[fringe agate]

!leviathanrole

[unkempt kraken]

Leviathan role is manually assigned, when you DM or ping <@&590975379678953522> with proof of completion: screenshot of the Expedition tab: Final Phase: 5/5 completed. See example »

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

[ashen turret]

sorry, thought it said admins

[wary cloud]

@smoky meadow Thanks!

[lunar kelp]

Limit is 20 per day

[fringe agate]

All good

[ashen turret]

doesn't help that the color's so close though lol

[ashen shore]

two pilots for the same ship

[ashen turret]

what ... how in the world did THAT happen

[umbral forum]

20 more doses. I can only hope they counted.

[ashen shore]

dunno lol

probably two ships landed in the same spot

[wary cloud]

Tell ya what, Having the Golden Vector for this one made a big difference xD

[ashen shore]

also wrong channel ups

[ashen turret]

but presumably you'd be seeing the ships overlapped then

[jagged charm]

oh we finally on stage 3?

[umbral forum]

I think it happens on multiplayer.

[jagged charm]

i really hope last stage isnt X class

[ashen shore]

curius combination tho

[wary cloud]

it is

[light timber]

So after allowing the Leviathan to chow down, I appear in a completely enclosed base with no exit and no edit permissions. How do I escape?

[ashen turret]

well the anomaly's ... just ... well ... anomalous ...

[smoky meadow]

my anomaly is so anomalous i had to make a bug report xD

[light timber]

I've managed to complete the expedition but it's still annoying as I was getting attached to that save.

[umbral forum]

Try summoning your ship and board it to leave. Do remember to report the base.

[light timber]

Cheers, I'll give that a go

[fluid crag]

I can't find the loop memory.
It's either near or far away and I just can't target it.

[ashen turret]

I mean multiplayer in general is so glitchy that's probably at least 85-90% of their bug reports they get

[umbral forum]

I don't know if it's possible to report a base without reaching their base computer.

[smoky meadow]

you can still report the base and make it disappear from the quick menu right?

[acoustic spruce]

Switch scanners and look for a glyph marker

[ashen turret]

it should be possible

[umbral forum]

Oh, there's a quickmenu option too huh.

[ashen turret]

well, not "too" - it's no longer on the build menu

which ... was annoying me because I couldn't find it there like it used to be

[fluid crag]

It it shown at the station for me

[light timber]

Ah when I logged back in, it had disappeared.

[timid ledge]

im confused will i be able to have a living levithan frigate on my main save if i complete the expedition? or on this random save i created to play it

[umbral forum]

Can you land on the living frigate like the normal ones? 🤔

[wild scaffold]

That seems like a downgrade tbh

from S

[rough bone]

From what I understand land, no; jump onto from another frigate, yes.

[ashen turret]

the living frigate, I noticed had a "times damaged" of 1 ... nice little reminder of the story there

[acoustic spruce]

You can get it here on the Nexus.

[umbral forum]

Aizwyn, bombarded by cosmic rays

[timid ledge]

thank you my friend

[wild scaffold]

First Phase done Yey

I’ll continue tomorrow

[fluid crag]

Oh man, I was so careful not to die and then I fall through the floor of my freighter

[umbral forum]

I phased through the anomaly floor around phase 4. Managed to return back to it at least.

[fluid crag]

I am not sure I will ever make this one.

[wild scaffold]

It happens

a lot

[meager stream]

15-22-6-23

[stone lotus]

gah getting nanites ont his expedition is such ASS lol

[acoustic spruce]

Just sell every mod you get instead of using them from the expedition

[stone lotus]

I'm trying to gear up well with S class modules before doing the sentinel milestones but holy shit it's like almost 6k nanites for an S class

[acoustic spruce]

ended with a fully fit multitool and 20k nanites

[stone lotus]

and I have already been doing that lol

well most of them

hm....

right now I'm trying to fill out planet scans because a planet with like 12 creatures will give you several thousand nanites

[acoustic spruce]

if you can deck out your shields and multi tool then you can keep clearing sentinel waves except for the triangle dudes to get non stop cans from them in hopes of glass

[stone lotus]

once I got all the glyphs I went to an address that had an S class multi tool; surprisingly the tool was there but it was B class lol

although to be fair the coordinates were from 2020

[zenith ermine]

i just finished the exhibition (so i thought) but whenit loaded me back in it says i have to still reach anchor 4 and monomania (again!) cant see my living frigate in rewards in the anomoly thought...anyone else had this problem?

[ashen turret]

did you forget to save it after you claimed the stuff?

[zenith ermine]

ill try to do phase 4 anchor again

[polar mason]

Or (and hear me out) you duplicate something like platinum and then get stacks of nanites

[desert mesa]

is there a set item or something you get from completing the expedition 7?

[ashen turret]

you get the phase rewards and the final reward unlocked for other saves

[desert mesa]

how long is the expedition?

[stone lotus]

BRUH the milestone that gives you exocraft gives you the nautilon but doesn't give you the recipe for fuel for it

[blazing nova]

Just encountered some top level BS
just wandering through an extreme storm and I suddenly get attacked by a hostile starship on foot

the damage that deals is near instakill

[stone lotus]

HAHAHHAHAH

I was going to make a public farm for people

but this shit is so expensive lol

[hardy talon]

Do you think prices will go back to normal once the expo is over? Or is it ways that way in Perma?

[jaunty cedar]

Question, since I have the expedition completed (xbox) if I die will it still reset everything?

[shut grotto]

If you've completed it should have turned your save into a survival mode save removing permadeath

[jaunty cedar]

That's what I thought but someone was saying the save wouldn't convert until the 6 weeks is done

Like, I'd love to test it 😂 but

Idk

[acoustic spruce]

Im going to guess it remains the same you lose everything mode until after the expedition changes to survival mode

but id like you to test it too!

lol

Ill test it give me a minutes

[shut grotto]

Mightve been to do with the glitch where you are unable to claim the leviathan frigate after finishing it

[jaunty cedar]

Any mods in chat that can confirm? 🥴

[jaunty cedar]

He said that after patch was already out

[shut grotto]

Oh.

[jaunty cedar]

Yeah so if anyone maybe on pc that can mess with saves could test that or something that would be awesome lol

[acoustic spruce]

Just died reentering the save.

[jaunty cedar]

You're the best!

[acoustic spruce]

Ok. On PC, On my save, Expedition completed. Purposely died and all my stuff is still on me. all my mods and slots and ship and nothing is damaged so i think its safe to say permadeath is gone under these circumstances on PC/steam

[jaunty cedar]

Test branch or normal game?

[acoustic spruce]

Normal game/expedition

[jaunty cedar]

Bet

I mean, guess there's only one way for me to find out huh

[acoustic spruce]

Im over the expedition so was more than happy to take one for the team lol

dont plan on playing this save again

[fair dirge]

presumably after you complete the last milestone in I5, if you die you retain all your items

that's what I've been seeing

[jaunty cedar]

Okay I wasn't sure because the task saying it would be converted wasn't lit up

[rotund jewel]

how do i add the new ship to my other save?

[jaunty cedar]

The frigate?

[rotund jewel]

ye

[jaunty cedar]

Should be the guy to the right of the nexus

[rotund jewel]

i went and claimed it, but the frigate is not with my freighter

[jaunty cedar]

Do you have to add it to your fleet?

[rotund jewel]

idk

[shut grotto]

When you claim it should come up with an option to add to fleet

[stray meteor]

anchor one universe has aggressive animals correct ?

[shut grotto]

Yep first planet you end up on has aggressive animals

[stray meteor]

is taming them the same as normal animals or do they require different food or more

[shut grotto]

Same way using pellets

Can either drop the pellets to feed them or just feed them by going up to them

[stray meteor]

okay thanks lol hope i don’t die

[crimson gust]

which system was the first one in the expedition?

I'm a dummy and forgot to visit the station there

[mighty jacinth]

hey folks, anybody know if the whale frigate counts against the 30 maximum for frigates? I already have the max on my main save--do I need to dismiss one to claim it? edit: i just checked and yes it counts and i need to dismiss one to make room

[crimson gust]

also, which one was second, so I can go there and jump to the first? :P

[mighty jacinth]

the first one was something-desk i think?

[crimson gust]

Rowland-Desk is where you start the expedition?

[mighty jacinth]

sounds right

[crimson gust]

yep, it's Rowland-Desk

the Anomaly's right where I left it

[lucid gazelle]

Don’t even have 2 yet

[rotund jewel]

ok my game froze (naff pc lol) and didnt register an autosave, so i finished the expedition but when i reopened that save, the last 2 milestones were not finished and the leviathan was unavailable. I just have to make a manual save without glitching out

[lucid gazelle]

How long does the Artemis quest line take?

[willow geyser]

couple hours at max i think

[lucid gazelle]

After so long, I found 1 glyph

[sullen hill]

i think you get all of them from one of the challenges

[lucid gazelle]

What challenges?

[sullen hill]

for the expedition

or are you talking about a regular save?

[orchid cave]

I left the starter planet without taming a predator first...oops. Now I don't now how to get back (I ended up on the fifth anchor planet via the anomaly)

[lucid gazelle]

What do predators even do?

[humble bramble]

Predate

[willow geyser]

i think u are on the wrong channel man #nms-questions would be better

[junior cloak]

There's a fast way to go back. Just get to the top of a mountain and jump

[lucid gazelle]

Oops, didn’t even notice

[willow geyser]

all good, this channel is for the timed event that is currently on, and is a different game mode from the normal mode

[desert mesa]

🤨

[willow geyser]

u have 5 more weeks i think

[desert mesa]

no I mean in general

it has an end, doesn't it?

[willow geyser]

yup

i think they always make it 6 weeks

[desert mesa]

just wanna know how long it takes to get to the end of the actual expedition so I know I'm not wasting time for nothing special

cause I wanna play on my real save but the items seem good enough to work for

[willow geyser]

well the frigate was cool and the cape was nice

:P

[desert mesa]

yeah yeah, but that doesn't matter if the time is like 3 days long

like they expected players to spend 4 days just to get the living ship

[willow geyser]

itll take around that time if u are not familiar enough with the game imo

[willow geyser]

ye that missions is tedious

[desert mesa]

well I'm pretty familiar at this point, but how long is the expedition estimated to be as a playthrough

[willow geyser]

there are 3 hours speedruns as far as i know

for this one idk tho

but im quite sure it can be done in one day

even easier now

since we got 3 milestones

adn the upgrades will be A tier

or was it S

the more u wait the easier itll be

[jaunty cedar]

I'd say like 8 hours (ish) if you know what you're doing but not rushing it

[desert mesa]

ok thank you

all I wanted to know

[willow geyser]

o7 good luck

[jaunty cedar]

If you just focus tasks you can do it alot faster. Granted you have 6 weeks to do it

So don't rush imo

[desert mesa]

yeah I know, I really want that cape lmao

[jaunty cedar]

How far are you?

[desert mesa]

not very far, on my second reset

I stopped playing for a second cause it got super chaotic

[jaunty cedar]

Keep your ship close and use the anomaly to escape pirates

First planet focus getting rss and get the tame task done, after you "reset" once

[desert mesa]

I got resources and got my ship working

[jaunty cedar]

And I recommend buying all the life support gel and ion batteries at the first couple stations

You'll need them

Should only be like 18k max

[desert mesa]

good to keep in mind

how many systems will I really pass through?

[crimson gust]

did you visit the space station in the system before warping to the next? the system you started in is Rowland-Desk

[jaunty cedar]

Like 15ish give or take

Maybe a bit more

It's been a bit lol

[crimson gust]

escape pirates? I've been collecting the bounties on them! 🤣

[jaunty cedar]

*sentinels 🥴

At least for me lol

[orchid cave]

Unfortunately I forgot to. Thanks for the name though. Maybe I can find it again

[jaunty cedar]

Those bastards show up out of nowhere to "help" with pirates and half the time I end up shooting one of them 🥴

[crimson gust]

use the target lock button and only fire when you have the locked on target close to the center of the screen

[ashen shore]

anyone got an extra salvaged data, i cant seem to find any

[ashen shore]

yeah, then you get the authorities on you for no reason, and i dont feel like having to fight a whole fleet on perma death

[crimson gust]

I never have them show up...
easy mode for pirates:

1. maintain target lock
2. tear apart their shields with the blaster weapon
3. once the shield pops, fire a salvo of rockets at them. they blow up, target lock should automatically switch to the next (I've only once seen the first salvo not blow them up)

[jaunty cedar]

Oh I have no issues with pirates lol it's just that they scan me 2 seconds after leaving the station and I guess that's what has the sentinels show up

[ashen shore]

i just shred them with the phase beam

[jaunty cedar]

I forgot the one I use 😂 shoots super fast like a minigun

[ashen shore]

i usually either use infraknife or phase beam

[crimson gust]

ahh, sounds like a case of bad timing. the ship's instrument panel has one that shows a countdown to the next space event whether it's pirate scan, derelict/abandoned freighter, whatever

[blazing nova]

anyone know about the smuggling milestone? Can't find an "outlaw" system

[jaunty cedar]

THAT the infraknife, really good

[jaunty cedar]

I ran into like 3 during my playthrough, how far are you?

[ashen shore]

tbh i like the phase beam more, but i have both

[blazing nova]

just got to the last anchor point

[crimson gust]

I stick with the guns and rockets that the radiant pillar comes with

[jaunty cedar]

You should have definitely passed some by then?

[ashen shore]

near spawn system theres one

[leaden belfry]

if you have an economy scanner on your ship itll mention black market - or combat scanner should be listed as outlaw controlled... or something similar

[jaunty cedar]

I use the beam for shields then the knife for hull

[crimson gust]

second jump from spawn system is outlaw, IIRC

[blazing nova]

AH

Imagine not using positron ejector

I earned the wing commander title with a max maneuverability explorer with only positron

I AM the missile

think I"ll get a conflict scanner unlocked to find the outlaw s ystem, economy one is doing nothing

[ashen shore]

just look around the spawn system

ill tell you the name

[leaden belfry]

anybody have extra resource we get from derelicts for the expedition..?

I dont trust my MT yet - but trying to pass this Milestone

[reef steppe]

can't seem to get the temporal starship trail while in the expedition says it has been previously collected? I assume this is a bug?

[ashen turret]

The cyclotron ballista is still my overall favorite ship weapon, even if it overheats, it's only like a few shots' worth of downtime

[summer oyster]

You have to install it in your ship.

[reef steppe]

Yeah but you need the inventory item to do that which I don’t seem to have

ignore me i am an idiot

[stray meteor]

what’s the planet in the first anchor with all the aggressive animals i can’t seem to find it

[gusty marten]

iirc 4th anchor has storm crystals has aggressive sentinels

[stray meteor]

nah i need aggressive animals for the second iteration

[summer oyster]

The starting planet.

[gusty marten]

oh animals

yeah

[stray meteor]

cant find that galaxy anywhere

[summer oyster]

I think you mean system, do you have the glyphs unlocked?

[stray meteor]

yeah i do

probably easier to teleport there gonna do that

[tawny herald]

Do hyperdrive upgrades drop from memory fragments? Sorry for reposting, but I have it in my head to default to the regular help channel.

[blazing nova]

so I'm hearing there's an outlaw system for the task near the start system b ut how do I know I"ve found it without a name?

[tawny herald]

When you warp into an outlaw system, there should be a message that pops up in the bottom right corner that saws outlaws have replaced the system authorities.

[fair dirge]

i've seen them drop from fragments, yes

[near lynx]

That’s my bad I couldn’t remember the name

[tawny herald]

Not for me, apparently. I have done this whole expedition with no upgrades.

[fair dirge]

odd

must be rare then or i'm misremembering

[tawny herald]

One just dropped.

Iteration 4 and finally a hyperdrive upgrade!

[blazing nova]

so I got the organic frigate recipe but where does it show up

base object?

[silver kestrel]

I haven't been on in some time but is the excessive pirate generation in expedition mode normal now?

[blazing nova]

IF you want to see the end product of the expedition, here is an example

spoilered for obvious reasons

[blazing nova]

I love it

[near lynx]

I’ve finished the expedition but I haven’t been on to claim it yet

[blazing nova]

that was an, experience

only thing left to do is to contribute to the community milestones

[near lynx]

Yep

[blazing nova]

honestly feel like I"d prefer to use my memory fragments at s class than x, x seems to orandom

[near lynx]

I think they’ll probably be guaranteed to be max c class

C

X

🤦‍♂️

[blazing nova]

still even though it claims my save was converted to normal, all the prices for anything in nanites is through the roof

[near lynx]

They may have to fix that too lol

[blazing nova]

I bet it will be once the expedition ends in earnest

[near lynx]

I’m not paying 5000+ nanites for a single s class upgrade

[blazing nova]

there's also the thing where you cant research most stuff

[near lynx]

They’ll fix it in time

[blazing nova]

they always do

[near lynx]

For now for upgrades just stick to crafting memory fragments I guess

[blazing nova]

I mean they're easy to spam build

just farm sentinels and scrap the upgrades the glass gives for your wiring looms

[near lynx]

Ezpz

[blazing nova]

completing trace of metal makes this process, a lot of fun

I'm also glad that from my work in this expedition

I acquired a living frisbee pet

[near lynx]

😂 ok now I gotta see that

[blazing nova]

hold on flying to planet

he's not one of those beetles or one wheelers

but he's still beautiful

[near lynx]

My only two pets were a beetle and some bipedal bug thing from the first planet

Before I died the…”second” time I had a really nice butterfly/worm thing. Super useful because it was fast and could fly

[near lynx]

Many a time it got me to an anchor grave

Oh my goodness

I love it

[blazing nova]

my little flying saucer

his flying is, very inconsistent

[near lynx]

I love that

That’s awesome

[blazing nova]

right now I cannot pet him he won't come down

[near lynx]

Can you call him over?

[blazing nova]

he also emits a small amount of light

meanwhile sandworm interruption

I found the frisbee on a toxic planet near the start of the expedition, if I can remember where I'll post portal coords

[near lynx]

Gotta love them sandworms

[blazing nova]

who wouldn't want a flying saucer friend?

[near lynx]

Hold on is that ||laylaps|| I see?

[blazing nova]

yesh

the best bot

[near lynx]

The best bot indeed

[blazing nova]

trace of metal is now my favorite part of the game

getting the minotaur upgraded to a proper killing machine

and getting a new friend

[near lynx]

Ye I’ve got mine upgraded too

Idk if they fixed it in the newest patch, but I would always get an audio glitch where any Exocraft would emit the sparking noise as if it were damaged

[blazing nova]

but yeah I may bring my main save here to get another saucer boy

[minor breach]

Is there glyphs to anchor 3?

[blazing nova]

wait

its ready to lay an egg, can't I do something with that on the anomaly?

[near lynx]

Uh

Maybe

[blazing nova]

I want a more glowy frisbee friend

grossly incandascent

[near lynx]

Oh you mean the egg…uh…editor incubator thing

[blazing nova]

yeah whats that about, where do I use it?

[near lynx]

It’s by the food guy

[blazing nova]

cronus

[ashen shore]

Check the pinned messages

[minor breach]

K thx

[teal willow]

Once you ||submit yourself to the Leviathan and the thing happens, if I die|| do I still gotta restart everything or from now on the progress is saved?

[desert mesa]

this expedition is phuckin crazy

[desert mesa]

also that's a huge spoiler

[near lynx]

@teal willow I’d recommend deleting that and then asking in #nms-spoilers

[desert mesa]

welp no man's sky not responding is GREAT when save points are scarce

[marsh haven]

same. so far at least. reached anchor 4 without seeing a hyperdrive range upgrade.

[ashen turret]

funny, I had 4 of them.

[junior shard]

I had quite a few hyperdrive upgrades

I could just jump from 3 to 4 to 5 lol

[ashen turret]

also had 2 icarus fuel systems and an AI pilot lol

no weapons for the minotaur though, only the exocraft lasers

[static willow]

The expedition path is so weird and convoluted

Hope everyone got the ||required death|| out of the way early.

[desert mesa]

||bro do I really need to get glyphs||

[ashen turret]

not if you didn't go overboard on visiting systems

[desert mesa]

what?

I got to the first anchor point, what do I do?

is that just it??

[marsh haven]

build a base on it. sure as nuts you will need to come back.

[desert mesa]

bro this expedition is taking quite a while

gonna go NUTS with all these stupid planets it's bringing me to that nearly kill me if I step out

[marsh haven]

ive completed exps in less time. but i decided to not claim any twitch rewards for this one.

[desert mesa]

twitch rewards?

[formal lantern]

How do ya get on expeditions? Sorry, I’m newer

[desert mesa]

start a new profile and it's on the far right

[formal lantern]

Thank you 🙂

[sage delta]

so i need a conflict scanner to find the outlaw system, correct?

[indigo falcon]

no, you can do it with the economy scanner

or there are known systems on the path people can give info about

[sage delta]

i tried just eco scanner and it wouldn't reavel confilct status

[wraith badge]

!faq-OutlawSystem

[unkempt kraken]

to view, enable Link Preview

Finding Outlaw Systems

Requires economy scanner or conflict scanner installed on ship.

In the galaxy map, look for systems with a small pirate skull left of the Economy type icon and identified as Black Market, or with Conflict level set to Pirate Controlled.

so if you only have the eco scanner look for a Black Market in the economy info

[sage delta]

ah i just checked my discoveries, and ur right i flew through a pirate system lol

ah got ya thnx

[neon python]

Woo, only died twice during the expedition

[desert mesa]

fuggin CAN'T cause it's littered with them already

[indigo falcon]

try getting a few hundred u away but still where you can see it.... maybe not eh

[sick mulch]

that's mesmerizing

[indigo falcon]

but pro tip take a screenshot with the planetary coords as you are standing right next to it, that way if you have to find it again you can get right there from the "approximate location" by flying low til you reach it, no hunting around.

[wraith venture]

[desert mesa]

well I'm getting kinda pissed cause I'd need to go a few thousand u away to achieve a base

everyone had the same idea and covered the whole damn radius

[indigo falcon]

still might be worth it to have base a couple minutes flying distance, IF you have the coordinates noted down

[neon python]

I'm never going to touch my expedition save ever again

[indigo falcon]

😄

[neon python]

That was so annoying and nerve racking

[indigo falcon]

still not done, still doing prep for derelict

this weekend I think

[desert mesa]

never doing this bs again lmao

starting to think it isn't too worth it

[indigo falcon]

definitely hella stressful

[desert mesa]

hope they make the next one a little less stress inducing

just wanted a casual one time playthrough type of thing but this is insanity

[indigo falcon]

😄

[neon python]

Need a survival one next

[desert mesa]

you get to keep your character but at what cost

[indigo falcon]

but you get to sit by the virtual campfire and swap horror stories with everyone else, so that's something 😄

[desert mesa]

well I've learned it's pretty much the same thing for everyone else

mostly the same experience

the stupid leviathan ships that pop in and out of planets just keep taunting me

I want it so badly

save points uh... save, right?

[indigo falcon]

obsession!!

[desert mesa]

I can't do this all damn night

[indigo falcon]

save points create manual saves so you can reload to that point (if you have not died), yes

recommend save inside of a structure

[desert mesa]

can't exactly make a structure right now

stupid bases made right where I want them with ZERO base in sight

[indigo falcon]

you don't know what you will spawn into (weather or whatever) when you load back in, just bear that in mind

[wraith badge]

before you go any further ... ||have you died yet? if not I'd suggest you do now and get it over with||

[indigo falcon]

they would have had to, in order to get to an anchor point system

[desert mesa]

||I literally couldn't get my ship if I hadn't died once||

[indigo falcon]

to fix ship in other words.

[desert mesa]

💀

[indigo falcon]

so I would just fly 2k u away or whatever, land, plop a bc and 4 walls and roof, save there

be done for the night as you say

[desert mesa]

well I flew out and found a good spot

[indigo falcon]

still 5 weeks left of the thing 😄

[desert mesa]

let me place it

[wraith badge]

oh! odd I got to the ship without dying ... ||but then died while doing something else got attacked by 3 predators at once, lucky me!||

[indigo falcon]

oh good!

[desert mesa]

didn't let me make a base cause a previous place was tehre

I'm livid man

[indigo falcon]

get to, yes. fix, no.

[desert mesa]

this is ridiculous

[neon python]

You only need to die once to almost finish the expedition ||You die once more at the end||

[desert mesa]

I can't make a base ANYWHERE

this is bs

[halcyon stirrup]

It's been a while since I've played NMS. I'm thinking about coming back to play the latest expedition. Are there any FAQs about it, or known bugs with it?

[indigo falcon]

see the pinned messages in this channel for a bit of info

you should read the no man's sky page on the release too

[desert mesa]

"Universal Archive Search reveals previous base registration. Construct terminal on a new site."

PLEASE game

let me do this SOMEWHERE

I'm gonna go insane

[wraith badge]

I built my first and only base in the system Phase 2 Anchor Point is in and I only did that to complete a phase step

[static willow]

Well fml, I was in iteration four and got killed by a random attack, seven ships shooting me at once

At least I know what I’m doing now…

[worn stirrup]

man that was a fun one

and i am proud to say

i aced it

[marsh haven]

As per the pins, its useful to have a base on each anchor point just in case you die. On subsequent iterations you can just teleport to each anchorpoint to avoid having to re-fly the whole route.

I already fell out the world once on my expedition. reloaded before environmental damage got me. but... the game doesn't play around.

[desert mesa]

literally just can't make a base anywhere

[marsh haven]

if you are building a base on an anchor world it doesn't need to be near the portal. the portal plays no part in the objectives except when its clearly marked. building on the other side should be nice and roomy.

[worn stirrup]

just slingshot yourself around the atmosphere and land in random places i guess

[wraith badge]

well I'm on my second go ... completed phases 1 to 4 and was working on 5 when I died and had to start again, so here we are again phases 1 to 4 complete and again working on 5 but with less jumping in without looking. The jumping about never bothered me as I just collected stuff along the way anyway.

[marsh haven]

i didnt get hyperdrive upgrades, so the warping has been tedious

[desert mesa]

wait, so the clearly marked portal that it sent me to doesn't matter?

cause it was VERY marked, it was the location it was trying to point me to

[foggy cloak]

It's a rendezvous, you just need to get there

[desert mesa]

so it literally doesn't matter

[worn stirrup]

nah, just as long as you're on the planet

[foggy cloak]

it does, you need to complete the milestone

[worn stirrup]

they're talking about base building i think

[wraith badge]

Yeah I farmed a "few" nanites after digging up a LOAD of Salvage Data to obtain the Nutrient Processor, then decided it would be much quicker to farm Whispering Egg

[worn stirrup]

i rolled really well on my upgrades so about halfway through i just started selling the memory fragments lol

[static willow]

Nice job! My second spawn after the requisite death put me on a hillside that was not survivable. And then the 7 ships, pirates and traders attacking didn’t help.

[worn stirrup]

ah yes the classic

fall 2 feet and die

[static willow]

This time I got proper environmental protection immediately for the suit tho

so that’s a bonus, kek

[worn stirrup]

very nice

best of luck to you

[static willow]

The last one was underwater booster as the first module

[worn stirrup]

yikes

[halcyon stirrup]

Thank you.

[static willow]

power of the RNG ig

[desert mesa]

?

[worn stirrup]

Remember Fellas If You Don't Immediately Get A Good Upgrade, There's A Handy Cliff Nearby

[static willow]

Haha

Remember there’s a handy Cliff nearby anyway so you don’t have to play the whole damn thing twice 😉

[worn stirrup]

true

[static willow]

couple years ago I did 83 hours in a permadeath trying to get to the center of the Galaxy / achievement, died to a fucking glitch.

[worn stirrup]

somewhere i have a clip of me getting out of my ship on the anomaly after my first walker kill

and then just immediately keeling over and dying

for no apparent reason

[static willow]

Bruh

That’s harsh

[desert mesa]

finally found a spot, made a safe base, saved and DIPPED

finishing this off tomorrow hopefully

[static willow]

I just died on iteration four so it’s not happening tonight
