nms-expedition

[static willow]

Lol

[desert mesa]

if you die on an iteration, do you completely reset?

[static willow]

Yup

[desert mesa]

oh my god

[worn stirrup]

it's immensely funny to me that all difficulty in derelicts is avoided with 1 (one) frost protection module and a few ion batteries

[static willow]

A couple of the milestones stay

But yeah…

[wraith badge]

I died by Cave Crab on my xbox PD save ... was not happy about starting again but I did.

[desert mesa]

that's genuinely aggravating, you have to do every iteration over again?

[worn stirrup]

yep

[desert mesa]

why did they make it like that

[static willow]

After losing six weeks of gameplay to the falling out of the freighter bug I never started a Permadeath game again

[worn stirrup]

roguelite gamemode

[worn stirrup]

i just play on survival tbh

all the benefits without the risk of losing your save

[static willow]

That’s exactly what I did, I started up a survival mode save

But I quickly got bored because I realize that it’s not that much more difficult it’s just a lot more micromanagement of inventory spaces, and who wants to do that

[worn stirrup]

mhm

[static willow]

was only doing PD for the achievement, and i’m not replaying six weeks of gameplay because the game glitched

Haha

[worn stirrup]

i think spawn rates are increased though

like for rare shit

i tend to see a lot more exotics in survival/pd than normal

[static willow]

yeah, the timings are faster

[desert mesa]

I'd hate to do permadeath, making all that progress just to lose it when there's so much to do

[wraith badge]

me 2 but on second go one of the lads here had a featured base in Galaxy #19 which was about 20k away from the core so I visited and just 21 jumps later I had all the achivements

[worn stirrup]

honestly just play it safe and save often and you'll be fine

[static willow]

I wouldn’t be so bitter if I lost it to my own error.

I thought about doing that

[worn stirrup]

remember the solution to like half the threats in this game is just hauling ass asap

[static willow]

Save often doesn’t help in permadeath

[worn stirrup]

i mean if you hit esc quick enough it can

[desert mesa]

alt + f4

[obtuse mirage]

Or just stand behind your ships every enemy on the ground tries (but fails) to pass through it

You can then just stand on your ship and shoot them

[unkempt plaza]

i have awoken

[obtuse mirage]

Hi

[unkempt plaza]

time to go and hand in the daily 20 somnal dust for the community progress 😂

[obtuse mirage]

So much effort

[unkempt plaza]

like 100x20 i mean with that lol

[obtuse mirage]

O ok that’s make better sense

[unkempt plaza]

i mean

there is a way to afk farm somnal dust :kek:

its the easiest on pc tho tbh

[obtuse mirage]

I just go to someone else’s derelict

[unkempt plaza]

wel

not rly lol

like every time you hand in 100 somnal dust you get a new reciever

[ashen shore]

has anyone managed to get a neutron cannon for the multitool from the memory modules?

[unkempt plaza]

and the afk way is that you dont even need to use the reciever or kill anything in said freighter

to get it

like you only have to activate the reciever to find it but not use it to open the door

[obtuse mirage]

It’s better doing in 2 and I have no friends that play it

[unkempt plaza]

i mean you can just hit the terminal to open the freighter dungeon thing to get somnal dust :kek:

[obtuse mirage]

Dungeon?

[unkempt plaza]

derelict (they kinda like dungeons imo)

but this is the afk thing xD

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

[obtuse mirage]

O ok

Wow that’s quite a bit

I’ll try that later

[unkempt plaza]

you can litterly just hit the main console where the activated teleporter spawns and it wil give you somnal dust

(do note that you need to hit it at a specific spot)

[desert mesa]

how about the scrap? any farm for that?

I want the flesh helmet :)

[unkempt plaza]

you mean the tainted metal?

[desert mesa]

yeah

[unkempt plaza]

that cant be afk farmed afaik-

just gotta do the freighters fully for that and then hand in the main stuff like crew log etc to the scrap dealer

[desert mesa]

well how about normal farmed?

dayum

alright

[unkempt plaza]

also

do note

[prime steppe]

I feel like that's a euphemism (if I didn't know better)

[unkempt plaza]

some of the loot crates in the freighter

(the blue ones)

can also give tainted metal

[desert mesa]

nice to know!

[unkempt plaza]

so its handy if you try to loot those haswell

[obtuse mirage]

That’s usually where I get mine

[unkempt plaza]

ye same

altho i also get a decent chunk from selling the crew stuff etc to the scrap dealer 😂

[obtuse mirage]

The reports?

[unkempt plaza]

ye

like the crew manifest or whatever its called

[obtuse mirage]

Yea I’m stupid I didn’t know what you did with those so I sold it

[unkempt plaza]

• one other thing

(cant remember the name of it tho)

all i remember is the first 2 interfaces with deactivated teleporters which you can activate

both give a thing you can sell for scrap metal for example

[obtuse mirage]

That’s the thing I got

[unkempt plaza]

or hand it in to the explorer guild type of person for ranking etc

[obtuse mirage]

It’s was yellow then it turned blue

Both when I looked at the big terminal

[unkempt plaza]

fair xD

[ashen shore]

can someone help me with finding an aggressive animal? I cant seem to find one

[indigo falcon]

crew manifest, captain's log

[foggy cloak]

The starting planet has one

[indigo falcon]

those get sold for tainted metal. refining is slow but still

[foggy cloak]

Wrong channel I think

[ashen shore]

whats the starting planet

Christole Oich?

[indigo falcon]

right channel... following up shady tim's comment that you could sell two things from derelicts for scrap metal.

[ashen shore]

is this one?

[foggy cloak]

!faq-ExpGlyphs

[ashen shore]

:(

[indigo falcon]

check the pins for the system names etc

[ashen shore]

Thank u :)

[ashen shore]

also, yes, that's the name

oki Ill try to find it since Im in the wrong system

[alpine topaz]

Hilarious this..

[unkempt plaza]

?

[alpine topaz]

im gonna try it out

[unkempt plaza]

ah xD

it works (i tried it yesterday after the patch)

it only works if you hit the terminal at the same spot has in the vid tho

[alpine topaz]

i was freaking out exploring the freighter

[unkempt plaza]

for some odd reason

[alpine topaz]

interesting!

[marsh haven]

You know,
The inability to "save" a POI except by dropping a base computer is a major drawback, especially in expeditions.
I propose everyone in this channel hit up !hg and suggests that we can favorite and pin POI in our discovories (and plot a waypoint back there on xbox damn it.) Or propose your own solution. but Base Computers are not it.

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[alpine topaz]

i suppose whether we can save free POI vs using save beacons is the issue here

free POI will mean no need for save beacons to use for locations

[desert mesa]

base computers make it super annoying - most people who place them don't even put real bases on or near them and instead take up space that others could use to build

[foggy cloak]

Why do you want to make a base there? Plus most POI base computers are helpful to other players

[unkempt plaza]

what does POI mean again?

[alpine topaz]

point of interest

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[marsh haven]

my one proposal is, placing a Signal Booster on a planet will save all the POI you visit while it remains placed. and you (or anyone) can view the list, and toggle entries back onto your hud. and perhaps even see a map of the planet. That would be new useful functionality for an otherwise largely useless device

[desert mesa]

the expedition is a reset permadeath-type thing, on a harsh extreme weather planet, where I can die quickly of the cold if I'm not inside a base

so building something close to the thing I want to be at is a great idea

but I can't

[foggy cloak]

And? Even in perma batteries are cheap af, just buy them and you wont worry about the weather

[marsh haven]

and we get an exo-mech quite quickly

[unkempt plaza]

^

[desert mesa]

if I'm stuck in a loading or crashing situation and I die cause I can't react, that's my expedition right there

kaput

maybe it's a small issue for other people but it would suck to just completely lose all that progress

[foggy cloak]

Crash wont kill you, crashing is how you DON'T die

[marsh haven]

But, whatever my proposal is for saving POI. thats just me. If its a problem, we all need to make a lot of noise on !hg so it becomes a priority issue.

[ashen shore]

They really are holy f

[desert mesa]

my crashes are more like "is not responding"

[ashen shore]

I have a problem. I have lots of shields but they are not charged? How do I charge them

[foggy cloak]

And? Alt+F4 if you die, plus the bases wont help you if it happens randomly

[desert mesa]

why wouldn't the base help?

I only really crash while loading in lmao

[unkempt plaza]

bcuz if it stops responding whens your outside it wont help lol

[foggy cloak]

Those + under the shields?

[ashen shore]

yeah

[marsh haven]

If you fall out your freighter, load your last quick save before the environmental damage kills you. <-

[marsh haven]

medical packs

[desert mesa]

look, it's still annoying I had to go thousands of u's out just to make a base so I don't load in and die for whatever reason I have

[ashen shore]

how do I get em

[marsh haven]

or kill sentinels and loot their drops.

[foggy cloak]

Then no need for bases, you don't have a base when you get out of a ship, or a space station, so its utterly useless

[desert mesa]

💀

[ashen shore]

later cuz I need to deal more dmg first

[desert mesa]

I'm specifically talking about the fact the game doesn't just crash, it stops responding when I'm loading in. Not just randomly.

[foggy cloak]

It doesn't kill you anymore if I remember? Didn't the new patch say so?

[marsh haven]

you find them on the walls of facilities. you can buy the recipe to make them for too much salvage data. you can also find them randomly on the surface as a lootable marked on the hud as a red +

[desert mesa]

if I'm loading in, and I'm in a base, I won't die

[ashen shore]

uh ok

[foggy cloak]

But mostly you wont

[desert mesa]

just playing the game doesn't make the game stop responding, it's the loading of the game

it constantly happens to me man

[foggy cloak]

Then too bad for you, but they shouldn't remove those helpful bases for players to see the rendezvous just because of you bad connection

[unkempt plaza]

only way a base would save you in that case is if you manually saved inside the base last

otherwise youll just spawn outside bcuz ship auto save

[desert mesa]

that's literally what I'm talking about

alright, my ideas aren't ideal for every player, gotcha

[alpine topaz]

Do you guys find the expedition menus all bugged?

like for example, after its completed

if you click Iteration One or Two

[unkempt plaza]

?

[alpine topaz]

it says Optional Milestone (Loop 3)

Recursion. Help polo in searching loop 3

but ive clicked Iteration One or Two

[unkempt plaza]

loop 3 is iteration 3 lol

[remote thunder]

universal loops 1 and 2 are done

[unkempt plaza]

also im p sure its bcuz it just auto says it to the next one if any optional one is selected

[alpine topaz]

yeah, now if i click Iteration One, it says the Iteration 3 objective on mine just the top heading , but middle icons change though

[remote thunder]

it's because 1 and 2 are done

[unkempt plaza]

im p sure thats meant to happen

and that ^

[alpine topaz]

ahh that would explain it

[unkempt plaza]

imma need to go collect 3 storm crystals soon in the expedition save file lol

bcuz i was dumb and sold all the 10 you needed to collect and now i need 3 more to install the solar recharging engine upgrade for my minotaur lmao

[alpine topaz]

ahh

i havent got this upgrade item for minatuar, i should check it

have many of you done the minotaur settlement quest?

[unkempt plaza]

i bought the upgrade for nanites in the anomaly lol

hence why i need storm crystals to install it lol

[alpine topaz]

no wonder haha

[unkempt plaza]

😂

[pastel glade]

you have to do exocrafts on the expedition?

please no

[unkempt plaza]

i mean the exo crafts can come in clutch lol

especially on some planets with rly high mountains where 1 wrong step on food wil end your existance

and the thing is you need to go to atleast 1 of those for a couple milestones

[pastel glade]

why minotaur then and not the hover one

[alpine topaz]

oh i do have it hehehe

[alpine topaz]

na its not, its separate to expedition

[unkempt plaza]

bcuz ive already completed everything lmao

[alpine topaz]

its a settlement mission

[unkempt plaza]

im just using this for farming atm

[alpine topaz]

probably my favourite mission though, you basically end up with a minotaur sentinal version

[pastel glade]

wait how tf do i get hyperdrive on expedition

is it hidden in some rewards?

[alpine topaz]

Oh yeah sorry, but what i mean is the mintaur helps alot on anchor point 4 and 5..

so you dont need it, but its very helpful.

[static willow]

Just follow the milestones

[hardy inlet]

thanks to whoever builds anchor bases. after a death due to glitch it's nice to be back in track ib just a couple of hours LOL

[sage delta]

well i finally completed the expedition, was my first and alot of fun

[dusty pecan]

Minotaur is great but for the huge mountains planets the nomad is better imo

doesn't give full enviromental protection but unlike the minotaur it can move through even the steepest cliffs

[prime steppe]

Was my first too and hella fun

Space whales are too cute, in a kinda imposing way

[alpine topaz]

yeah no enviro protect is the issue cos anchor 4 and 5 was like a furnace

[dusty pecan]

sticking a stack of ion batteries in your exosuit cargo fixes that

even nomad gives you quite reasonable time between recharges

[wanton fjord]

Yesterday I almost died from random damage. I'm unsure where from though

[foggy cloak]

Fall damage or toe-stub damage

[wanton fjord]

On a flat area and whilst in my ship too?

[foggy cloak]

Yes

[wanton fjord]

The arrow was pointing up, but nothing was there, Its like a ship was attacking me

[indigo falcon]

multiplayer on in network settings?

[wanton fjord]

Yeah, but I thought PVP was disabled for this expedition

[indigo falcon]

it is but there's some weirdness with some sort of "leakage" where a player nowhere near you's weapons fire can somehow leak over, rare ... I"m not even sure that's what's happening but from the last few days reports it sounds something like that

not someone actually targeting you though

[teal willow]

Sorry for late reply but I was sleeping I spoiler tagged it now

[indigo falcon]

anyways try mp off and see, if it happens again

[wanton fjord]

Oh okay, I guess I'll disable it tonight

Especially as my friend died anyway

Cheers

[indigo falcon]

good luck!

[alpine topaz]

Does anyone have all their multitool blueprints locked?

i cant get bugger all from the anomoly.

[indigo falcon]

all of us

[alpine topaz]

gotto Boltcaster everything

[indigo falcon]

you're supposed to use the memory fragments!

[alpine topaz]

hahaha that makes sense. unlocking some now

some of these sheep looking aliens gross me out, i just wanna shoot them all.

[indigo falcon]

pretty sure they think you're weird looking too 😄

[alpine topaz]

i sure am 😄

[indigo falcon]

😄

[jagged charm]

I only used a few

Like 10

[indigo falcon]

well of course people are going to sell off stuff that'snot useful to them

but we're not all supposed to go buy the stuff we usually buy, it circumvents the storyline

[jagged charm]

Still got my stack of 60

[indigo falcon]

(of course I am doing that for about 4 modules right now, but only that many, accumulated some nanites....)

[jagged charm]

hunts sentinels

Where are you you portable nanite dispensers

[indigo falcon]

😄

shoot something and they will come... (actually they are such slackers they might not)

[urban scroll]

I comepleted the challenge first try with no (unnecessary)deaths!

[remote thunder]

anchor 4, near portal (in other words, there's a big chance that you're going to hit this nest if you use a sentinel boundary chart near the planet's portal)

[sinful kestrel]

so wait do i have to die in order to continue the first iteration

im so confused

because i cant leave until i repair the ship

[urban scroll]

yeah

[sinful kestrel]

and i have to leave in order to get to polo (im assuming)

[urban scroll]

it is a bit confusing that

[fringe agate]

Yes, just go die real quick

[sinful kestrel]

aight

[fringe agate]

Get it out of the way

[sinful kestrel]

man this some in space with markiplier s&%@

[swift birch]

Every time I see this or similar sentiments as an out of context notification, I lose my shit 😂

[fringe agate]

Lol

[swift birch]

It hasn't stopped being hilarious

[sinful kestrel]

welp

rip my green lil astro boi

[swift birch]

Oh man, could you imagine this expedition if NMS did gravestones/death markers? My HUD is clouded up enough with bases and message balls as it is...

[fringe agate]

Hahaha

[remote thunder]

fwiw, also on that nest was

[wind sleet]

pretty common one there I think

[remote thunder]

just sharing it

have no need for it on this save

royals basically look the same

[wind sleet]

I've seen like 3 of those already in like a dozen of nests

got the white one, looks cool in 1st person

[remote thunder]

i don't own one on any of my saves yet

[fringe agate]

Same

[remote thunder]

already have experimental

[fringe agate]

Also same

I'll get one on normal at some point, for the model

I have an alien and experimental on that one

[wind sleet]

also I was paying attention to those secondary boundaries which are 48 cells on those unlike many others

but then people say here that 24 is max for everything so...

[remote thunder]

max MT slots is 24

[wind sleet]

why is it even a thing - secondary boundaries

[remote thunder]

white border in inventory is pretty much a relic

basically, all s-class ships (except living ships) can be upgraded to 48+21+21 (haulers 48+21+42); all s-class freighters can be upgraded to 48+21

[wind sleet]

well, will see about that, but I'm not sure if I even own a hauler

it looks like a big ship but never says that it's hauler

wait... why "Do not tax" is minus productivity?

like... I don't fine people with absence of taxes, or it's just they become chill again

[cursive coyote]

need

[remote thunder]

coords to the nest just a few posts above

[indigo falcon]

same (no royal, have experimental, meh)

[alpine topaz]

yeah quite common right, ive seen a bunch, the downside is they have such small capacity..

[marsh haven]

quite a lot of upgrading for a reskinned experimental

[alpine topaz]

Where do you search for an experimental?

is it just the random outposts?

[marsh haven]

they are just rarely found in normal boxes. I get mine (outside of expedition) from my armorer, so also your armorer one his missions are done is a source of all sorts of MT. I keep mine on my Freighter near the bridge for this reason.

[alpine topaz]

thanks ill check this armorer more often

[wild scaffold]

I wanted to use my freighter to warp

until I realised it had no hyperdrive

Sean why

||what have we done to you to deserve this||

[swift birch]

I had a hilarious freighter moment in this exp. Saved a freighter in a system and then went to claim it as that first free one, only to find out I already had one apparently?

[wild scaffold]

Why couldn’t we just get the personal refiner Sean :(

Like in Blighted

[wild scaffold]

yea

[swift birch]

It was news to me! 😂

[wild scaffold]

Imagine having to make a second portable refiner

[swift birch]

I got a personal refiner kit out of Polo. Installed that thing so damn fast

[wild scaffold]

Lucky

[swift birch]

Extremely

[wild scaffold]

Why couldn’t we just have the personal refiner installed by default

[swift birch]

Continuing the theme of me not realizing shit during expeditions: last exp I built a portable refiner before realizing I had a suit one

[wild scaffold]

I’m burning through a lot of condensed carbon

[wild scaffold]

I thought we would get a suit refiner in this exp

just QoL

[swift birch]

Yeah, I was stoked last exp once I finally noticed it

[wild scaffold]

In my main survival save I barely use it

But I used it all the time in the expedition

it was great

[wraith badge]

If you've got all the Glyphs then you could go get this one;

S24 Slot ~ Experimental
Location: In Station
Galactic Co-Ords: 0C16:0073:02F1:004E
Portal Code: http://nmsportals.github.io/#004EF4Af2417

[frank galleon]

Theres a chance you get it in the memory fragments. It was one of the early ones for me.

[wild scaffold]

You got lucky

[alpine topaz]

thanks will check!

[wraith badge]

make sure you turn off multiplayer before going

[alpine topaz]

ooo

ok

[wild scaffold]

Going to need a lot of condensed carbon for storm crystals

[frank galleon]

You could also unlock it. Even with the expedition costs, its only 3600 nanites (plus 800 for the hazmat)

[wild scaffold]

only

[ashen shore]

BRO

[frank galleon]

I made that in 45 minutes im a fresh save last night

[wild scaffold]

to be fair I do have 15 thousand nanites

[ashen shore]

I finished the expedition and I didnt get the last quest????

I already died bro

[wild scaffold]

?

[ashen shore]

???

[neon python]

Go back in, it should give it to you after a bit

[wild scaffold]

I still do not know how the optional quests work

[ashen shore]

I completed the thing im panicking

[frank galleon]

If you ||ended the loop, you dont actually die, it just seems like it at first||

[wild scaffold]

Just made 30 warp cells

Hopefully it will be enough

[lunar flax]

Does anyone know what we get if we complete tier 5 for the liquid sun,dust,etc?

[wraith badge]

It's the Community that completes them, so every time you hand something in to Polo you're making a contribution to the progress

[wild scaffold]

If they reach Tier 5 progress will be crippled for new players

X class modules < S class

[halcyon stirrup]

Is there a way to disable the milestone pop-up from displaying? I know it can be cleared away after it appears, but I'd like them to not show up at all.

[fringe agate]

No

[neon python]

Hi Gleam

[fringe agate]

Hiya

[terse jolt]

is there a way to remove the perma death in exp?

[wild scaffold]

No

well you can wait 5 weeks

[terse jolt]

https://youtu.be/HWjhSPxj38w

[neon python]

Just the way the expedition is this time

[terse jolt]

isee

tho what is that video stating that when you break the loop, if you die, your items are still saved in the inv

[wild scaffold]

not supposed to happen I think

[terse jolt]

huh thats weird

[merry elm]

has HG fixed ODS yet

[wraith badge]

Nope still off for me

[neon python]

Works for me, and probably works for other people. So it should be fine. Gunter also says it's fine

[frank galleon]

If youre on Steam, check the pins in #nms-questions for one trick to getting ODS to work again

[merry elm]

ill try that, rn i still can't start the expedition

[wraith badge]

you cannot start the expedition if ODS is down for you

[unkempt plaza]

||if you mean that dying after doing the final task isnt supposed to not reset it is supposed to save it lol||

[wild scaffold]

oh

[unkempt plaza]

||bcuz you broke the roll back loop||

[merry elm]

yeah nope still not working

[wild scaffold]

Polo text broken?

Or you can’t even start it

[coral sail]

Taming a predator is the most annoying thing so far. I searched for a hour now and haven't find one.

[neon python]

Starting planet has dangerous striders

[blazing pine]

Why are ppl freaking out and strategising about killing 5 waves of sentinels in the expedition when you can just walk straight up to the pillar and turn them off without having to fight a single one.

[sage delta]

thats what i done

[merry elm]

can't even start it

i sure hope its fixed before the end of the expedition lmao

[blazing pine]

I just keep reading post after post on reddit with these structures built around sentinel pillars to make it easier to kill them. Sod that - 1 minute straight in and out - job done.

[orchid bear]

do you know, is it just for completing the tasks that once or any time after?

[wraith badge]

I've just started a new expedition and ODS is still off for me

I thought ODS had to be on but obviously not

[wild scaffold]

Server side issue, should be fixed

I just rolled 2 X class from suspicious packets and they had the same stats

are the X class stats set in this expedition?

[unkempt plaza]

||if youve done all the tasks (apart of the optional ones) the loop has ended so when you die you wil spawn on a random planet on that system but keep your stuff (i think for your char you lose any non tech that is in the general inventory tho)||

[nimble quarry]

How to make a lot of units fast in ex7?

[wild scaffold]

Trading

or if you are super early

Shooting asteroids

[merry elm]

maybe it was on when you created it? im pretty sure it needs them to be able to start the expedition because it has to keep track of the time left

[timid ledge]

IS ANYONE else having problems with this expedition

[wraith badge]

well my current Exp save says ODS is Offline, started a new Exp Save and that also states ODS is offline ... so I just don't get how when I return to the menu ODS is on ???

[merry elm]

weird

[wild scaffold]

Is this enough for the expedition

[timid ledge]

i played for an hour, tried to get into the nexus and it bugged out with me just slowly entering it but never doing so. then my game crashed. now im trying to play this morning and it keeps crashing at random points like leaving my ship or little shit like that

[wild scaffold]

rip

[timid ledge]

sadge

[wild scaffold]

I have spent over 2 hours staring at my personal refiner in this expedition

high octane gameplay

[wraith venture]

if you're still having issues, can also check #nms-questions for tips

[wraith venture]

it should resolve itself. for some folks who've reported this in the past, if it's an issue with their network, rebooting their router has helped. but there've been other cases where they just had to wait it out and it resolved on its own

[merry elm]

i have been having issues with my internet for a while, but i haven't been able to fix it

stuff like going to some webpages requires refreshing once or twice before it loads

[wraith venture]

sounds not fun i hope it resolves soon. if you have access to another source of internet, even via your phone, it could be worth a try, at least for starting the save.

[jagged charm]

Starter planet

[glacial horizon]

hello guys, im a returning player from 2018 and im trying hte expedition, just a question, if i complete the part 3, the one that gives the cloak

and i redeem it, and then i die, will I still have the cloak unlocked on the "main" file?

[jagged charm]

Swap save and check in qs store, but i think it should

Not 100% on it tho

[merry elm]

ill try that

[devout stone]

Real quick question: was the leviathan supposed to kill me? Did i loose all my progress?

[terse dust]

It frees you from the loop. If you re-enter, check your inventory.

You should have everything still.

Though I don't think you're safe from dying afterwards. Can't say, haven't died.

But yes, it does appear the same as death. As far as I can recall from the time I died at the start by mandate.

[jagged charm]

Yes, no

[terse dust]

I noticed the community goal two stages from now makes Memories X-class. I wonder if those are better or worse than S.

[jagged charm]

Worse

X is 99% worse than s

[terse dust]

We haven't encountered X-class Memories though

And if it's as much worse as S-class as modules tend to be, it's wild to lock it behind a community milestone you can't undo.

[scenic moon]

How do I get the hyperdrive in expedition

[jagged charm]

You have one in your ship

[scenic moon]

I don’t?

[terse dust]

Is that the one you need to die for the recipe for one of the repairs.

You should??

[scenic moon]

I’ve got a pulse engine and launch thruster

[jagged charm]

Or was it a mission reward

[terse dust]

Oh, huh.

Might be. Lemme check the wiki

[jagged charm]

Freighter not having one is normal

[terse dust]

Oh, wiki is empty.

Yeah. Plus all its upgrades are priced at x10

[scenic moon]

Idk tbh

[terse dust]

I'd love a matter beam, but not at a price of 50

I'm stockpiling items from the expedition at the moment

[terse dust]

Look through the milestones and see if one gives you the plans

Unfortunately, I just closed out and the wiki is barren

[merry elm]

restarting steam and my router a few times managed to fix it

it no longer says expedition complete

[scenic moon]

I don’t see nothing

[terse dust]

Weird. I'll give it a look soon.

[wraith venture]

Yay! So glad it worked

[hazy sonnet]

Best method you guys discovered to get whispering eggs quickly? Usually I just go in there, grab the eggs, done, but in this expedition I'd like to take more precaution

[terse dust]

Build a box around them, just one tile floor and four walls

[hazy sonnet]

I've witnessed biological horrors just going through walls

[terse dust]

I just build a box directly on the eggs

[terse dust]

https://i.imgur.com/nbvGGfz.png

Help Polo once.

[scenic moon]

Done that already

[terse dust]

...redeem this mission

It should give you an installable hyperdrive unit.

Should be a gray unit in your inventory.

[scenic moon]

I didn’t get a reward

[terse dust]

...then your run is bugged, I guess?

There's no way you can continue without it.

[scenic moon]

Yeah oh well

[terse dust]

You gave Polo at least one of the item packs they need?

The Liquid Sun or the Creature Memories or whatev

I handed in Liquid Sun, ymmv

[dusty pecan]

maybe he accidentally sold it for nanites

[daring fulcrum]

a little late I know...but the 4th anchor planet is a storm crystal planet...

[scenic moon]

How do I get ancestorial memories

[dusty pecan]

With aggressive sentinels and extreme mountains

better go for the toxic moon in the 1st anchor system

[scenic moon]

Toxic. Moon?

[dusty pecan]

Mapon VIII

is in the pinned messages on this channel

[foggy cloak]

you feed animals and interact with them

[desert mesa]

anyone else find the outlaw station inside the ring of a planet?

it's pure white

[brave ice]

Someone else did find it yes. 😂 can’t remember who though.

[desert mesa]

first time seeing something like that!

[brave ice]

Spoopy

[wraith venture]

I'm not sure if someone replied to confirm, but since it's a QS reward, yes, it should become available in other saves.

[indigo falcon]

linking here so we have it: all milestones and rewards https://pastebin.com/kq5xepnA (my typing, no warranties no exchanges)

[desert mesa]

||went to the crash site for the second iteration and there's like 50 message terminals||

when you get "destination reached: it's morbin time" you know it's bad

[violet anchor]

Its morbin time

[wind sleet]

I've been low on Ph for many hours but it seems I found the right planet for that matter...

[desert mesa]

can I turn off the message things

welp I think this location is bugged

isn't that a treat

[indigo falcon]

where are you and what are you trying to do?

[desert mesa]

I'm at the downed freighter

there are like 40 message beacons and I can't finish this part of the expedition for some reason

[indigo falcon]

you could find another one maybe? it can be any crashed freighter in any system probably

I found one on a world in the starter system and that worked

[desert mesa]

just weird that it's broken like that

[ashen shore]

Did you interact with the beacon in the middle of crash site?

It's not like anchor points where you just step in and milestone triggers

[desert mesa]

yeah I did

should I check around?

[indigo falcon]

(it can be that if you have options->network->multiplayer enabled, someone in your instance already got it, shouldn't be like that but sometimes)

[desert mesa]

maybe I just missed something in the sea of messages

[indigo falcon]

it's a large ball sitting on a platform, you read the log and yet no completion?

(sorry if this is repetitive, just checking everything)

[desert mesa]

turns out one of the messages did somehow break it, but not permanently

just made me pop out of the middle beacon for some reason

[kind pilot]

welp, giving up on this, just died while on expedition 4 :/

[indigo falcon]

take a break, maybe come back to it another time

[desert mesa]

gonna wait to go to some of these iterations, ||this one's quite a number of stars away||

[summer oyster]

This one is tough, Community research will be done on going all the way up to the max to be able to get S class upgrades I'm sure.

[indigo falcon]

max is unfortunately ... X class 😬

[summer oyster]

It seems you can just claim the research tier rewards when you like.

[static willow]

Yeah, I died in iteration 4 yesterday to a combined pirate / angry trader RNG event

Wasted the rest of the night just getting back through the first 2

Easier each time™️

[indigo falcon]

not if you die after we're already in X (or for various reasons couldn't start until then)

[static willow]

Pirate modules are the shiz

[summer oyster]

Well that's unfortunate.

[kind pilot]

i died to a biological horror ._.

[static willow]

Yeah, that happens

[summer oyster]

Same for me

[indigo falcon]

anyone here get reset in the expedition today and continue?

[static willow]

Don't feel bad man, some people missed the "Die" in the first loop... @kind pilot

[static willow]

No... I haven't fired it up yet. You're scaring us!

[indigo falcon]

oh. sorry I just wanted to find out if the clas of the ship you get has changed or not

we have a report from one perrson that it did

[kind pilot]

i'll restart the expedition

[static willow]

Oh, interesting.

Death doesn't do that, but I wonder about full restart.

[indigo falcon]

I would expect it to remain C but interested to hear

[static willow]

I thought everyone got a C class shiddy ship

[desert mesa]

I'm gettin kinda anxious reading about all these run enders 👀

[static willow]

Well, if I got reset and have to start over again I'll lyk

[indigo falcon]

I hope... not to hear from you on that 😄

[desert mesa]

I've only finished iteration 2

[static willow]

It's permadeath, so play conservatively. Don't carry contraband if your ship can't fight, get those shield modules, etc.

[indigo falcon]

slow and steady wins the race here, you're doing fine

[desert mesa]

oh I can fight 💪

[static willow]

kek gek kek

[desert mesa]

the pirate battles aren't what I'm worried about

[indigo falcon]

or: carry contraband right to the anomaly and from there go to a regular space station

[desert mesa]

I mean yeah

[static willow]

[desert mesa]

but the loot 👀

free upgrades

[indigo falcon]

true enough

[static willow]

I lucked out with that guy's "harvest sell contraband" base at the first checkpoint. ||it's got a full farm of nip nip if anyone needs a few mil early cash||

[desert mesa]

I literally saw that base and ignored it for the free materials one

[static willow]

MegaCorp Free Resources base is also helpful

[desert mesa]

that one!

[static willow]

Yeah, that guy is a boon fr

[indigo falcon]

lotsa of nice starting system bases for real

[static willow]

How tf these guys spending all that time gathering the salvaged data tho. Big props to those heroes.

[desert mesa]

it's cause they're some crazy mfs

[ashen turret]

they probably aren't gathering them

[indigo falcon]

some people use a little help, some people are actually digging for it all, either way got nothing but good things to say

[desert mesa]

or duping 👀 but who can complain

[static willow]

fr, probably item dupers

Someone gave me ONE Sodium in the Anomaly yesterday

Thx bud!

[desert mesa]

gains!

[indigo falcon]

hope you gave it back 😛

[desert mesa]

is storage super condensed in this expedition?

cause I can barely hold stacks of what I used to do

[indigo falcon]

stack sizes are as in survival/perma

[desert mesa]

oh, that's new to me lmao

[static willow]

Yeah, it's 'survivial / permadeath' mode, so 250/500 max stacks

And everything is more expensive

[desert mesa]

it feels kind awful

[static willow]

Just be glad they give you so many early expansion slots

[junior shard]

my biggest fear was falling to my death in cliffs lol

[static willow]

It's a real grind in the regular game modes

[junior shard]

so if you can, land at bases with minotaurs 😄

[desert mesa]

I'm still terrified to fall, man

I almost died a few times

[indigo falcon]

"death is not the end" but it's still really really aggravating!

[desert mesa]

"death is not the end" well, if I die I might just end my run

[static willow]

Confirmed not reset today, tg. But the game IS acting like I've had it on pause for hours (leaky memory lag bugs) RIGHT upon starting, so that's neat. @indigo falcon

"Death is not the end", it's just a chance to do things right this time.

[desert mesa]

or, alternatively, a chance to get lucky

[static willow]

Seriously, the first (*second) life I had, I gotten an underwater protection module as the first upgrade... Utterly useless, Next one gave me B class thermal protection, so that was cool.

[indigo falcon]

I got a lot of dup modules. sold 'em off, what else ya gonna do

[ashen turret]

I wonder if anyone's tried to find an outpost to try to buy the hermetic seal blueprint instead of dying to get it yet

[indigo falcon]

but, hey, that's free nanites I guess

[desert mesa]

I got kinda lucky my first time, but my luck ran out and I started getting garbage

[indigo falcon]

yes. there was a post on the subreddit.

[static willow]

free 60 nanites when S class modules cost 6k kek

[indigo falcon]

not 60 now. most modules sell at around 400

(A class or base tech)

[static willow]

Oh snap, til

[remote thunder]

and 1k for regular mats in ship cargo, let's not forget the mighty cargo inv 😄

[desert mesa]

was gonna get the atlas pass recipe but 💀

[static willow]

[ashen turret]

theoretically you could get an atlas pass 3 made without upgrading a hyperdrive

[static willow]

What, you don't have 2.5m nanites? Do you even expedition, bro?

[ashen turret]

but ... you'd have to have a hell of a lot of luck to do that

[static willow]

You're also only supposed to have one sentinel flare...

[ashen turret]

it's possible to get all sorts of metals from ship scrapping, and/or dismantling ship equipment

[ashen shore]

anyone got extra salvaged data?

[static willow]

[dusty pecan]

There is allways the pre nexus way of getting the atlas pass too

grab bunch of maps and raid manufactoring facilities

[ashen turret]

that gets you the blueprint - not the item

you have to craft it

[dusty pecan]

true would still need to hope for the emeril

[indigo falcon]

if you don't get any replies here, you could try in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[static willow]

AYFKM?! I just died climbing a wall

Was jetpacking up a steep face and it just killed me...

I'm so done with this expedition, smh

[indigo falcon]

break time for sure

my fall death was trying to climb down one

[static willow]

Yesterday I died to pirates in iteration four, today in iteration 2 to wall death

[indigo falcon]

going up a wall shouldn't do jack to you

meh

[static willow]

Seriously, and you get unlimited jetpack, I think it was on one of the checks to see if I was still vertical, just nope, dead

[indigo falcon]

I have heard that the nomad is very good for going up near verticals like that

amazingly enough

[desert mesa]

how in the hell do you pick up whispering eggs

[smoky meadow]

oh i just started an expedition and i have an A-class ship

[ashen turret]

carefully and quickly

[desert mesa]

do you mine it?

[indigo falcon]

ok that's very very interesting. new new save?

[ashen turret]

and jump onto a building

[smoky meadow]

will it become X-class ship eventually 🤔

yes i just made new save

i want to try getting hermetic seal without dying xD

[ashen turret]

I find it's easier to just melee them open

[indigo falcon]

thanks for that info!

[desert mesa]

well this is kinda a pain

[indigo falcon]

hey out of curiosity @smoky meadow what class is the multi-tool?

[ashen turret]

do it at a building, and keep lots of life support supplies handy, and it's relatively easy

[smoky meadow]

also A-class

[static willow]

Yo! I restarted with a different 'A' class ship this time! @indigo falcon

[indigo falcon]

huh! again thanks

[indigo falcon]

this is a reset, on the same save?

[static willow]

Yeah, died to a jetpack climbing bug

Loop 4096 ig 😉

[indigo falcon]

ah right. (sorry) brain fried

[static willow]

But different ship, different name, better class. The previous deaths have all given me the same exact ship

May the module gods shine upon me this loop

[indigo falcon]

I shall light some virtual incense to the prng divinities on your behalf

[static willow]

🥃

[smoky meadow]

in which ways can i get hermetic seals?

[static willow]

Death

😉

[soft shadow]

You should be able to craft them

[smoky meadow]

this is my second attempt which im trying to do no-death

[static willow]

Look at the “iterate/repeat” milestone

[smoky meadow]

already finished the expedition

[static willow]

You can’t

Oh, there was speculation about getting the recipe without dying, but it would still prevent the milestone, thus preventing you from completing the expedition

[orchid bear]

could you luck into somebody that could trade them to you?

[static willow]

For sure

[orchid bear]

and would it complete at the end? haha

[static willow]

Or someone could craft one for you if you have a multiple crash site

My first location had four players all crashed there

Still wouldn’t be able to complete the expedition

[smoky meadow]

what i want to test is if what happens at the end counts, also i already did the expedition so i dont care if i dont finish it

not sure if anyone has done it yet

[static willow]

That’s a lot of hours

It might but I’d lean towards no knowing NMS

[smoky meadow]

i know, i did the expediton in 6 hours

[static willow]

damn son

That’s a speed run for real

See ya in the next loop. 😉

[sage delta]

were all the previous expeditions perma death too?

[static willow]

Now that I’ve died 2342 times, I’m just going to speedrun it

[junior cloak]

Nope

[umbral plinth]

That sucks. I played a little of the expedition and it looked difficult. Considering one of the first tasks is to die, I can tell this is going to be hard.

[junior cloak]

This is the first one, of many, I hope.

[sage delta]

me too, so much fun. I was so nervous

[static willow]

I was so excited when somebody told me “bro, there’s like seven expeditions”

And, nope, only one active.

[sage delta]

I only completed it today, but took my time, was cautious

[junior cloak]

At the end of 2021, hellogames let you play all the past expeditions, again. Maybe they'll do the same this year

[sage delta]

i hope so, i only started playing couple weeks ago, but wish i got to play them all

[static willow]

That would be so awesome

[smoky meadow]

no way i found a trade terminal selling hermetic seals

sick

[indigo falcon]

go for it!

[kindred acorn]

Noice, all done now! gonna try to add Levi to my Main Save now 🙂

[kind pilot]

going to try again cus im salty 😐

[desert mesa]

someone keeps on giving me singular carbon 💀

[indigo falcon]

go go go!

[indigo falcon]

give it back 😛

[desert mesa]

they left before I could :(

I did pay it forward, though

[junior cloak]

They are duping stuff. I hate them.

[desert mesa]

?

[foggy cloak]

Why? Let the man play how he wants

[junior cloak]

I let them. But the way i want to play is without crap on my inventory

Let me play the way I want!

[desert mesa]

oh, the people dropping you stuff?

[foggy cloak]

Then also let them play how they want, its doesn't affect your gameplay, just dispose it

[junior cloak]

Which is actually affecting my gameplay.

It's annoying

[foggy cloak]

How? Its one item

[junior cloak]

It's not the individual action which bothers me. Its the constant flow of items to my inventory which I found annoying

Its cheating

No matter how you see it

[foggy cloak]

And?

[junior cloak]

And, well, there's a rule on steam which says that cheating in any form is not allowed, you know?

[desert mesa]

it does get pretty annoying when dupers spam items into inventories that are trying to play vanilla on their own

[true bronze]

What is up with randomly getting inured like somebody is shooting a laser beam at you from space?

[desert mesa]

you aren't ASKING for it

[true bronze]

I just started taking hits in the middle of a station with nobody else there

[foggy cloak]

They don't care man, you are just petty, just accept your gift

[wild scaffold]

||what happens after you call the leviathan?||

[junior cloak]

You are probably a cheater too. And I would let everyone cheat, because it's how they like to play. But I dont like to mix stuff I dont earned with my own crap.

[foggy cloak]

Freddy Fazbear destroys your freighter.

[junior cloak]

But when I see someone duping, I report them.

[wild scaffold]

Understandable

[foggy cloak]

I have not used the dupe, as I don't need it, but it may help a person with a grind

[indigo falcon]

ok so: if it's about your inventory being spammed, valid. if it's about their duping, who cares. there are save editors too, it doesn't matter at all.

[junior cloak]

Then that person can politely ask for helpo.

[junior cloak]

I'm agree with you. As I said, i really dont care how ppl play a game.

[foggy cloak]

Now that's just mean, being perty and pissed and filling junk report when HG needs to focus on more important exploits

[indigo falcon]

do you have options->network->multiplayer enabled or disabled?

[true bronze]

I had it disabled earlier while gathering some stuff from somebody's base and then turned it back on, so at that point it was on

[indigo falcon]

problem is that a bunch of us can neither ask for help nor offer it: no text chat on consoles 😡

[desert mesa]

there are some pretty wacky pvp exploits

[indigo falcon]

I recommend off again and see if that helps

[viscid zenith]

For someone who doesn't care about how people play their game, you are spending an awfully long amount of time pointing out how duping is cheating, which is odd since this is a mostly singleplayer game and you're doing this in a channel where people come for help.

[indigo falcon]

AND report it to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[junior cloak]

You seem triggered by me following the rules.

[true bronze]

fair enough will try that out

[viscid zenith]

People like to give shit away, duped or otherwise. People are free to, too.

[true bronze]

it's weird because I've had it happen planetside and the light is green, but on the station it was orange-red

[viscid zenith]

There's no economy to break.

[true bronze]

not sure what the hell it means

[wild scaffold]

the expedition made me realise that player solar ships have no landing gear

when you see other player’s ships

[viscid zenith]

And also your use of the term "triggered" makes me think you're not worth giving the benefit of the doubt here lol

[junior cloak]

Because this is an issue that actually mess with my game.

[indigo falcon]

folks, pinned rules about play preferences. dial it back everyone.

the specific issue? people have talked about having a 'accept/disable trades' setting

[true bronze]

Yeah...I didn't realize we were competing...can somebody point me to the global leaderboard for best NMS player?

[indigo falcon]

that too can be suggested to hg

FOLKS.

[viscid zenith]

Is there one?

[foggy cloak]

Yes, and that's what they should receive, not report regarding this

[true bronze]

sorry, should have added /s there

[indigo falcon]

let's leave it here and move on.

[viscid zenith]

LOL nice

[indigo falcon]

sooooo

[true bronze]

I wil say this particular expedition has been truly eye opening about how locked into a particular play style I have gotten

[indigo falcon]

anyone got some nice rainbo pics for today's start to the rainbow sky contest? each day's category runs a week

[true bronze]

this has been a really tough one for me

[indigo falcon]

you usually play normal mode?

[viscid zenith]

Also I 100% thought this argument was going on #nms-questions LOL

[true bronze]

Yes

[viscid zenith]

Not used to #nms-questions not being the third channel in this order

[wild scaffold]

||but seriously what happens after you cal the leviathan||

[indigo falcon]

take that to spoilers if you don't mind

[viscid zenith]

I do 🖐️

[static willow]

Not my day:

[viscid zenith]

I'll probably take more rainbow screenshots even tho I already submitted an entry

[indigo falcon]

check the #contest-rules pins and get your entries in!

nice nice

[viscid zenith]

I did!!

yeee

[desert mesa]

stuck?

[true bronze]

When you call in Moya, she moans and groans a lot, then Rigel says something catty and sarcastic, Crichton does something heroic and dumb, D'argo does something aggressive and roars... that's about it

[static willow]

Yup

[indigo falcon]

last manual or autosave?

[desert mesa]

why the hell does the mineral extractor blueprint cost 100 salvaged data

[ancient sierra]

do someone now where a planet with storm crystals is?

[static willow]

What are those? kek

[ancient sierra]

its more expensive than normally

[desert mesa]

some really nice players will mark areas

[indigo falcon]

uh ohes...

[desert mesa]

well how am I gonna get storm crystals?

[static willow]

Lost an hour and a half again

This expedition getting frustrating rn

[desert mesa]

this expedition is ridiculous lmao

[indigo falcon]

to keep us from having all these conveniences when we should be relying on memoryfragments and rogue-lite play 😛

[desert mesa]

well then how do I get my own storm crystals 💀

[indigo falcon]

see pinned message "mini-faq"

[desert mesa]

wait

[static willow]

I thought a bunch of these bugs would be gone now

[desert mesa]

am I dumb? I might be dumb

[indigo falcon]

read the pins. always read the pins

[indigo falcon]

ah sweet summer child...

[static willow]

4 yearz later

kek gek kek

time for some nip and grahgrah and try again

[wild scaffold]

Expedition complete

Time to leave a message

oh wait I can’t

Base perms

[desert mesa]

loop 4 looks insanely hard

[wild scaffold]

nah

not at all

[indigo falcon]

like many others, I died at anchor point 4. treacherous place

nonetheless you can get through it.

sentinel pillar can be done on any world, doesn't have to be there, and many players have put bases

sentinels, any place with a shelter, pick a fight, run inside, don't let it escalte past wave two...

you'll get it done.

[desert mesa]

if you just hide inside you don't get shot, right?

[indigo falcon]

in the shelter? correct

just keep it in wave 1/2, you don't want no quads showing around

[desert mesa]

new information acquired

[orchid bear]

I got sentinels starting up a settlement. I haven't played for a while so that was all new to me, but they stopped coming after the event was cleared, so that's a way too

[desert mesa]

this is my third day on this expedition, I took so many breaks already

[orchid bear]

It's funny, it's been so long since I played I didn't understand why people were complaining about stack limits, I thought that was how it was, haha

[indigo falcon]

it was how it was! we've become very cozy in our 9999 stack sizes

[true bronze]

I somehow managed to lose my minotaur geobay even though it was just outside of the area of a base. And of course there is no way to find it except running around or flying around for 30 minutes looking at the same damn ground

[indigo falcon]

you could build a new one (need the mats though)

actually I dunno if there might be some distance thing

[true bronze]

oh I know

And I did

it's just frustrating

[indigo falcon]

I think you can only place 3 per planet, we got bit with that one on an expedition once

[desert mesa]

is there a reason the cartographer is only giving me alien cartographic data?

[indigo falcon]

what are you trying to buy?

[desert mesa]

something to find a facility or abandoned building

[indigo falcon]

and you're selecting what for the nav data?

[desert mesa]

just trying to get lucky with a random

but it gave me 5 alien cartographics in a row

so I'm assuming there's something going on

[orchid bear]

or that's just how random is sometimes

[indigo falcon]

oh. reroll if you don't like it

prng can be fickle

[desert mesa]

it's only alien carto

[indigo falcon]

try at another system

[desert mesa]

sure, cause 10 in a row is like

improbable

[indigo falcon]

you should still reroll those

[finite wind]

Hello new friends! I was hoping someone here could help me? Confused during this expedition

[desert mesa]

reroll?

[desert mesa]

how so?

[ashen shore]

Found one of those egg farms but there's only 4 eggs. Can I get them to respawn inside the boxes?

Like if I go away and come back? (it worked)

[finite wind]

I've done everything on interation 1 except the wake your past milestone, which says is using the memory resonator.

According to the galactic map im in the system where anchor point 2 should be. The map doesn't have any nav point about where AP2 is, every time I use the memory resonator, no matter where, it always just says low strength, and it seems like as far as the expedition path goes on the galactic map I can't warp any further.

I feel stuck and confused 👉👈🥺

[orchid bear]

It did that to me too, look for the planet you need to be on

go back to anchor point 1

(probably)

[finite wind]

I can't leave this system

[desert mesa]

it should still be on anchor point 1 planet

sorry

anchor 2

[finite wind]

Thats what I'm having an issue finding

[orchid bear]

I dunno, it had me navigate to anchor 2

then when I looked for it it named a planet in the anchor 1 system

so I just went back to that system by space station warp

[desert mesa]

how do I reroll?

[orchid bear]

then flew to the planet and activated the thing

[finite wind]

Heck.

[indigo falcon]

reload a previous save, if you didn't save before popping the map you can at leat try it with future maps

[indigo falcon]

be on the planet's surfact (anchor point 1 world, Ennect) punch the memory resonator while standing on the surface

[finite wind]

But I can't warp out of this system

[indigo falcon]

wait for the hourglass icon to pop up... and head off in ship.

[orchid bear]

you can do it in ship too, just have to be in the atmosphere

[indigo falcon]

what system are you in

[finite wind]

And it had me warp a lot to get to current system, I don't remember how far back anchor 1 even is

Uh

One sec

[orchid bear]

if you went to a space station there (should have to get suit space, right?) just warp back

[indigo falcon]

go to the space station then, look for Cebrac-Eliwyn in the list

[finite wind]

Romestovot

[indigo falcon]

go there, go to Ennect

you're in anchor 2 system. you're trying to get 'wake the past', for sure?

[finite wind]

So

The wake the past thing is the only part of iteration 1 I didn't too

[indigo falcon]

yes

[finite wind]

And I can't find anchor world 2

The map says im in the system for anchor 2

And am stuck/confused

[indigo falcon]

so : space station -> Cebrac-Eliwyn (teleporter) -> Ennect (world)

[finite wind]

So I missed the part of anchor 1 and that's why 2 isn't showing up?

[indigo falcon]

do that now

[orchid bear]

I swear same thing happened to me. I had the mission selected and it directed me to the anchor 2 system, but then was like, it didn't know what to do, haha. It does tell you "go to ennect" tho, if you read the little popup

[finite wind]

I'm looking for the teleporter rn

Oh wow

I thought it only saved like the last 3 space stations

Man coming back to this game is crazy

Okay so go back to anchor 1 and use the item on the planet?

Tyvm for the help

[indigo falcon]

I think it's 70 now space stations it keeps, you're good

[orchid bear]

man's over here flaunting his ability to react! haha

[finite wind]

Feels really good to be playing this game again, I really missed it

Lmao

[indigo falcon]

emoji quicker than typing, I'm lazy

[orchid bear]

same, but I felt like I couldn't remember how to do it, until I realized I just can't do it here, haha

[finite wind]

Uh

One sec...pirates. planet not here?

[indigo falcon]

eh?

[orchid bear]

it's a far one, not right by the space station if I remember correctly

you may have to fly out a little to see it

[indigo falcon]

icy abhorrence

look for that.

[finite wind]

Cebrac-eliwyn yes

*?

[indigo falcon]

yes that's the right system/station

[finite wind]

Oh sorry. Big planet in the way. My bad 🥺

I'm a little overwhelmed this feels like a totally different game. In a good way but, wow. Thank you again very much.

[indigo falcon]

use the radar (well maybe that wouldn't help in this instance)

enjoy!!

[finite wind]

:3

This expedition thing is pretty fun. This is the 7th? Are the old ones doable?

[indigo falcon]

nope, time limited events all. if you'relucky there will be a redo of some... we can only wait and see

[finite wind]

Hm

[ashen shore]

Is iteration 5 as scary as I'm building it up to be in my head?

[finite wind]

:o

[indigo falcon]

only way to know is do it

[finite wind]

I don't know the answer but this game having more horror elements is something I'm always going to want so thats exciting to hear

[indigo falcon]

(and folks do not spoil this please kthxbai)

[finite wind]

Yes plz

[ashen shore]

||I know I have to go inside a freighter. Just wanna know how likely dying is compared to the previous iterations||

Doing it isn't the only way. I can also be told lol

[indigo falcon]

I really can't say, just be careful

stock up on ammo. have batteries, life support. one cold protection would be nice. and...

take it slow and careful

[ashen shore]

Can someone else answer pls

[finite wind]

Please don't spoil it if anyone else does answer

[ashen shore]

Ye tag it

[indigo falcon]

it depends on how careful you are, I literally can't tell you

many players get through the derelict ok

[smoky meadow]

just pay very careful attention for danger like always in the expedition, and never risk it

[ashen shore]

I don't think I've ever actually don't a derelict

So idk how dangerous they tend to be

[desert mesa]

the derelict is easy but it's kinda spooky

just keep your head up I guess

[smoky meadow]

just panic run away if unsure what to do

[cosmic ingot]

Derelicts in creative are easier, cause they dont attack you

[indigo falcon]

not a lot of choice about the game mode in this case

[smoky meadow]

when i did it i though it was easy but maybe i got good rng

[indigo falcon]

if you have a normal save @ashen shore you could always do a couple derelicts on that, get the basic idea

[ashen shore]

Gotta survive this sentinel stuff first anyway

[desert mesa]

gonna assume they want me to pick the storm crystals streight from the vine 💀

[cobalt shore]

I created a base near a sentinel pillar on the starter planet (the scorched world with the predatory striders). I hope it helps some people 🙂

The base name is Sentinel Pillar (very obvious haha).

[smoky meadow]

they are in vines?

[desert mesa]

god among men

[desert mesa]

just a metaphor

[cobalt shore]

❤️

[desert mesa]

what's the base name?

[cobalt shore]

Sentinel Pillar

[ashen turret]

Except when you need to run.

[indigo falcon]

if you know the trick to running in these (since it is most definitely a trick!)

[ashen turret]

No I'm not suggesting using some fake VR setup 😛

[indigo falcon]

me neither

[ashen turret]

more just that, there's some places where you can't pass safely at walk speed

[indigo falcon]

and I'm not suggesting the melee thing either, if it comes right down to it

[ashen turret]

with my luck, trying to melee something would end up waking the neighbors ... and you don't want that lol

[indigo falcon]

er nope!

[kind pilot]

for the whispering eggs quest, can i obtain 10 larvai by trade or do i actually have to open the eggs and get the larvai

[ashen turret]

on normal, using melee on the biological horrors is difficult - but not for the reason you'd expect... but don't try it on other modes lol

you start trying to punch them to death, they run away from you lol

but here - you don't want to get that close ... for reasons

[brittle osprey]

Hello, you need to get them from void eggs. I tried getting them from other means and the objective was not cleared that way.

[hoary rover]

Probably because biological horrors hit you at mach 10

[kind pilot]

?

void eggs? isnt that for the living ship?

[brittle osprey]

I never tried that lol. Once this exp expires I will try it

[brittle osprey]

Sorry my bad. I mean the eggs on planets

[ashen turret]

No ship, but have a shield? No problem, just (literally) let them hit you up

[brittle osprey]

The ones that spawn biological horrors on abandoned bases.

[crimson gust]

the whispering eggs

[brittle osprey]

Yeah that is the name. Thanks

[kind pilot]

are there any maps that can show me the location of a building with the eggs?

[hoary rover]

Yes

[ashen turret]

scan for abandoned structures

[hoary rover]

Exocraft can also do it

[crimson gust]

you can locate them on a scan?

[kind pilot]

alr ty

[hoary rover]

Better to use expcraft imo because they can scan for specific buildings

@crimson gust yes, and many other things. Monoliths, manufacturing facilities, etc...

[ashen turret]

well, specific classes of buildings

[hoary rover]

Wdym?

[ashen turret]

there are a few different possibilities for each scan type

[hoary rover]

Well some types scan directly for the building

Drop pods, manufacturing facilities, monoliths

[crimson gust]

scans or charts?

[hoary rover]

Those, as far as i know, are all direct scans

[crimson gust]

scan to me means with the visor

[hoary rover]

Scan utility in an exocraft

[ashen turret]

upgraded exocraft scanners

[crimson gust]

ah

[hoary rover]

Using the quick menu

[desert mesa]

this cape is kinda swaggy

[ashen turret]

I feel like they need to change the description from quick menu to utility menu at this point ... it's so cluttered lol

[kind pilot]

if somebody trades me the larval cores does it still count towards the expedition quest?

[hoary rover]

Big agree

[crimson gust]

so, what's the best way to get the salvage for getting the orbital exocraft summoning module?

[hoary rover]

@kind pilot

You replied to that too

@crimson gust salvaged frigate modules?

Or the buried data modules. Can't remember which tree unlocks the materializer

[ashen turret]

the materializer is at anomaly

[crimson gust]

was about to say that
