[quick harbor]

😩

[dense basin]

Missing a hermetic seal?

[quick harbor]

Yep

[dense basin]

Gotta die

Then don't die again 🙂

[quick harbor]

Easy to say

[dense basin]

We believe in you

[quick harbor]

For some reason every system i warped to was litered with pirates anyone else notice that

[dense basin]

There are a few right at the beginning - but that's a good thing. Grab some contraband and sell it in a legit system for some easy early money. Shoot up some freighters there - there are no space cops to stop you - they'll drop contraband too. More $$$. Also you'll knock out a milestone in Iteration 4.

[static willow]

Yes, there are abundant pirates in this expedition

[dense basin]

ooh, I thought you meant pirate systems

Yeah, there are way more pirates in perma/survival mode

[static willow]

So I’ve fed polo seven times now, I can do 13 more in 24 hours?

[dense basin]

So we've been told

[static willow]

Does it tell you when you’ve reached the limit?

hmmm

For science

[dense basin]

My guess is that polo will tell you

But I am only guessing

[nova scaffold]

i keep getting attacked by sentinel ships - i think i may have picked up some illegal goods in my last skirmish, but i thought i had gotten rid of it. yet the sentinels keep attacking.

what can i do?

[pearl frost]

What do you mean? just keeps saying they will arrive? With the red flashing text?

[static willow]

Do you mean the scans?

[dense basin]

Have you gone into a station yet?

[static willow]

Can we own multiple ships?

[nova scaffold]

yes. that is my only safe haven. but once i get out or travel to other planets, the sentinel scan happens and i keep getting attacked again.

[static willow]

I found a wreck, but it didn’t get added / not in the freighter

[pearl frost]

If it is saying that they are arriving that is because they will continue to come after you sending reinforcements and you just have to run and then you can either land on a planet or go into a space station or a freighter or something.

[dense basin]

We can, yes. Mine didn't appear immediately. Try going to the anomaly and summoning the wreck there. Then use the teleporter to port to a station.

[static willow]

Runnin’ from the law

[nova scaffold]

even after hiding in a station, while im out travelling they scan again and attack.

[dense basin]

Try reloading

[pearl frost]

warp the freighter somewhere and it will appear in the back corner

[nova scaffold]

yeah im figuring it is a bug. im taking a break. this is so annoying.

[dense basin]

Breaks are always good in a perma save 😄

[pearl frost]

They will do it every so often, especially if you are in a system with a lot of hostile sentinals.

[nova scaffold]

i handed over the illegal item and they still shot at me. WTH?

[pearl frost]

Yea they won't care.

[dense basin]

They know you are a baddie

(They should have come for me - I am a total pirate)

[nova scaffold]

yeah it's in the 4th anchor system which is an aggressive sentinel system 😦

[static willow]

Once a smuggler…

[nova scaffold]

tried to land and the scans came up again.

[dense basin]

Definitely reload, and try another system. Just use the teleporter

[nova scaffold]

ok thanks anyway. will start again later.

[pearl frost]

You may have to warp to a different system. They will keep coming after you if you are in a hostile system in my experience.

[nova scaffold]

ok noted

[dense basin]

You can use the teleporter instead of warping - you can't warp in combat

[pearl frost]

Yea I didn't think of that.

[nova scaffold]

first i need to get back to the station. lol

[dense basin]

Yep 😄

[static willow]

Hey, I finally found a first contact system!

[dense basin]

grats!

[solid peak]

What is the starting system and planet?

[dense basin]

Rowland-Desk, Christole Oich

[solid peak]

Epic thanks

[lunar flax]

So I've been having a minor issue but it's kind of bugging me out, everytime I press spacebar to use the jetpack, there's a teeny tiny delay when I press the spacebar and the jetpack engages, I thought initially "Maybe it's been there always I just noticed it now" but when I went to singleplayer the jetpack engages quickly, then I thought it was lag, but my internet was fine, maybe there's a technology module I installed that caused it, I am not sure, has anyone else encountered this minor inconvenience? or is it just me?

[marsh haven]

being in multiplayer causes memory leaks which cause general lag.

[lunar flax]

That's what I thought as well, but I made another expedition save, and it wasn't delaying at all, still weird I don't know what the issue is

[marsh haven]

Were you in the same system? the lag comes about because of the number of other multiplayer entities the game "sees", and this list is sensitive to your system and location. Your location and lobby determine the list of bases the game shows you (there are literally thousands buy you dont see more than 20 at a time), and that list of bases determines what other players part counts you might load.

[lunar flax]

Sorry for the late reply, apparently, it was the rocket boots causing it, do you think it's a good idea to remove it? I am using mostly the melee speedboost method to get around anyway

[novel cave]

if i were to sell a mods upgrades at the station will they offer me the very low value like 200-500 from the normal or they offer me the price range of the survival in thousands?

[dense basin]

rocket boots are dangerous in perma so I'd take that out

Be careful with melee speedboosting since fall damage is a lot more significant

[indigo falcon]

sell for normal price, buy at inflated ones

[lunar flax]

I really should repair my minotaur, I just can't find a warp hypercore anywhere

[dense basin]

repair kit ftw

pirate stations, if you need one

[indigo falcon]

get a repair kit at the door to any derelict freighter, don't even have to run much of the freighter if you don't want. I mean, get 100 somnal and then leave, turn into Polo

oooh the pirate station is even better, yeah.

[dense basin]

I have a pile from there

[lunar flax]

Damn I should've saved the system where that pirate station was

[lunar flax]

Alright, derelict freighters work

[indigo falcon]

you want to get enough somnal that you can turn into Polo and get another free erb, is all.

[marsh haven]

rocketboots seem like a bad idea in HC mode. I sell the item for nanites each time i get it

[lunar flax]

Fortunately I brought it up here before I used it, especially in landscapes with steep slopes

Are there any materials I should give to polo if I strictly want exocraft modules? or any of the 3 yields a random fragment?

[indigo falcon]

random it is

[lunar flax]

and while I'm in the minotaur, nothing can kill me right? I mean fall damage and all, so it's a good idea to invest in one

[indigo falcon]

creatures, sentinels can kill you. environment, fall, no.

[lunar flax]

Alright, good to know I can fall to my heart's content

[wind sleet]

that anchor 4 planet is insane! it'd take long before I attempted anything like that on my normal save
first I fell down somewhere, tried to do the greatest strider climb out but got spotted by sentinel mid-way, and then the rest of the way I literally dug through the rock with jetpack!
then I wanted to do other milestones but sentinels interfered again and again so it just became too much for me and I started to fight to see how far I can go with that weather - I wasn't sure I have enough plasma cells and ion batteries to make it alive.
so I was kiting with jet, running rounds without shield, manoeuvring between pits and shooting with my 3X upgraded Geology cannon
I think walker got bugged while I was waiting out storm in tunnel - when I got back outside he literally walked away from me and started to go rounds on a mountain
and I was kinda surprised that I was rewarded big afterwards for greatly hating sentinels lol

[dense basin]

anchor 4 is evil

I get in, do only what I absolutely have to do on that planet, and get out

[wind sleet]

it was probably the worst place to fight sentinels lol

[indigo falcon]

player base at sentinel pillar (or from map you got for the related milestone elsewhere), disable those suckers, then deal

[dense basin]

I saved my map for the planet

[wind sleet]

well I don't want anything free from community, it feels like cheating despite it's a "community expedition"

[indigo falcon]

then find sentinel pillar on a much safer world and disable to get you a map

I found one in the wild, heh

[wind sleet]

but I do appreciate people offering help all over the place

[lunar flax]

If I am about to die(from pirates or whatever), can I exit the game quickly? It's a cowardly thing to do but, gotta take any methods to survive

[indigo falcon]

what platform are you?

[wind sleet]

ye I was thinking mid-way to get a map from one of salvaged glasses but then... I was kinda sure I can end it right there so I did it

[lunar flax]

pc

[indigo falcon]

there's a way but I don't know if you might need to be in options->network->multiplayer off

(I am on console)

[wind sleet]

I was thinking the same - I saved the game in tunnel with multiplayer off and was ready to quit any critical moment

[static willow]

Can you use the portals?

[indigo falcon]

once you have the portal glyphs you can absolutely use them

I went to a different system for the derelict that way 😛

[static willow]

Ahh, so you have to run the missions?

[indigo falcon]

there's one derelict you will be required to do in phase 5

but you can choose which one it is

[static willow]

Anchor 5 FTW

[wind sleet]

game literally tells me to do that derelict since the very start and I'm like nah, I know it'll be hell without upgrades

[indigo falcon]

heh

[wind sleet]

just because I have that receiver in my inv

[indigo falcon]

you can't do the "right" one until you've all the memory loop milestones done

[wind sleet]

well my intuition was right about that too then, nice

when the time comes dey say

I actually found storm crystals way faster than crashed freighter...

[indigo falcon]

🙂

[wind sleet]

moreover I even did guild mission which rewarded me 5 storm crystals but it didn't count

[indigo falcon]

nope, must be harvested

no getting from derelicts either

[static willow]

Yeah, found crystals don’t work you have to get them manually

[wind sleet]

I had no experience on normal on that, but with mino and no sentinels it's just a matter of time

[nova scaffold]

For this Expedition - what is a good tip to shut down a planet's sentinel forces?

should i do it on a world with less-aggressive sentinels?

[indigo falcon]

it's easier I suppose

just walk up to the terminal and hit the off button, so to speak

[dense basin]

I'd do it on a non-aggressive planet

I mean, I always do 😄

[nova scaffold]

should i build a base to fight the sentinels?

[wind sleet]

you can chill in tunnels

[nova scaffold]

the hard ones will be the dogs and robots

[indigo falcon]

you don't need to fight the sentinels to disable the pillar

you need to fight some at some point for a milestone, choose where you want to do that

[nova scaffold]

yeah im attempting that milestone

[indigo falcon]

it can be by a shelter for example, shoot a few drones, head inside, wait to cool down, had back out, shoot a few more. whatever your pace works with

[wind sleet]

I usually just destroy terminals near pillar with ship's rockets, land before fighters arrive and disable

[nova scaffold]

oh.

ok. that's one method.

[dense basin]

You don't even need to destroy the terminals near the pillar

You literally just walk up and turn them off

[nova scaffold]

ok. maybe will do just that. find a pillar and shut it off.

[dense basin]

Blow them up after for the loot, though 😄

[wind sleet]

doesn't it say it's blocked or smth?

[dense basin]

nope

only if you are in combat

[wind sleet]

I remember it required to kill drones nearby and terminals in other case when I was playing normal..

[dense basin]

hasn't for some time

[nova scaffold]

yeah i recall having to blast open the panels or some such

[wind sleet]

and I really loved when those drones were stuck 300u from pillar from where I came...

[indigo falcon]

just walk up. I did this several times during the expedition.

[dense basin]

I literally did this about an hour ago so I can assure you this is correct.

[nova scaffold]

we have to destroy the Control Nodes right? before we can access the console?

[dense basin]

No

[indigo falcon]

no

[nova scaffold]

ok

[dense basin]

Just walk up

[nova scaffold]

thanks have the map will trigger it later 😄

[dense basin]

If you touch those nodes, you aggro the sentinels and then you do have to fight

[nova scaffold]

got it

[indigo falcon]

literally: walk over to the terminal. go, huh, why doesn't the mech shoot me, oh well I guess I don't care. then interact with the thing 😄

[wind sleet]

I just opened black warp cores and crafted 10 of them just in case 😄

[indigo falcon]

😄

[static willow]

Guess I’ll do the Atlas path

[indigo falcon]

while you wait for the expedition to complete, you mean?

[static willow]

Yeah, I’ll keep feeding polo and doing the path missions

[dense basin]

and then you'll have boatloads of nanites waiting for you

These X modules are just wild

[static willow]

Halfway done, kek

For science

[analog karma]

So if you die during the exp

You lose all progress

And have to start the entire thing over

[indigo falcon]

see pins about what persists ("persistencee after death")

you can strategize a bit.

[rare silo]

How do I get a terrain manipulator for the expedition I completely forgot how it been a long time since I started a new save game.

[indigo falcon]

you have one, it's broken, check mt. need to repair.

[dense basin]

iirc, it's 50 carbon (nanotube) and 50 ferrite dust. Might be 75, but I think it's 50.

[rare silo]

I must had missed it when looking to fast for it.

[dense basin]

don't forget to die right away

and then don't die again 🙂

[rare silo]

I did.

[indigo falcon]

1 dihy jelly + 1 carbon nanotube my notes say

[rare silo]

I only have two left to do in the phase one.

I will remember that

Thank you guys.

[indigo falcon]

good luck!

[dense basin]

ah yes, right you are

I was collecting ferrite to make batteries. derp

[marsh haven]

in any other game the word "anchorpoint" would imply thats where you roll back to after death.

[analog karma]

Fr.

[indigo falcon]

again, check the pins on what persists, look at the milestone names, there's a hint...

[wind sleet]

my ship got stuck on take-off

ig I need to reload auto-save?

it says it's still landed

[indigo falcon]

that's the only thing I know that works, yeah

[ashen shore]

can someone that knows how to trigger frighter rescue and is an EXPERT, help me in a vc? Im so lost idk what Im doing wrong

[desert mesa]

freighter rescue is random

[indigo falcon]

I can't (not an expert anyways and I'm at work) but I can tell you that in expedition mode you should end up in a freighter battle every three warps.

[desert mesa]

I may be dumb

[indigo falcon]

I didn't actually track that for this expedition but that's been the usual for the past ones.

[desert mesa]

I didn't run into a single one on my expedition run but maybe I just missed it

[ashen shore]

Oh god Im trying to trigger one idk why it just WONT

[indigo falcon]

interesting

I mean we all do have a freighter already so

[ashen shore]

I WANT A COOL ONE

[indigo falcon]

😄

[foggy cloak]

Have you played for 3 hours in the same session?

[ashen shore]

I have 10

10 h

:(

[indigo falcon]

expedition mode isn't like that

[static willow]

Do you have the c-c-c-caaash?

[foggy cloak]

Are you on the current expedition?

[ashen shore]

I've spend 8:30 h only doing the expedition

[ashen shore]

yes

[ashen shore]

lots of cash

half a bil is a lot for me dont judge

[foggy cloak]

Hmm, lets see, I don't think that until you finish it you will see any

[static willow]

178m in hours? Nice

sounds legit

[ashen shore]

I finished it???

look man, Im stupid Im trying my damn best

[foggy cloak]

Then did you did 5 warps after you finished it?

[ashen shore]

yes

I did like 12

[static willow]

There are freighter battles during the expedition before completion

Standard

[ashen shore]

cant u just join a vc Ill explain everything please :((((

this is honestly so frustrating

[foggy cloak]

I wish I could, but I can't

[ashen shore]

I will cry

I acc will this is insane

[indigo falcon]

ok woah, breathe...

[ashen shore]

Okay so Im in the system I want the frighter in, yh? I need to trigger a battle

I TRIED

[indigo falcon]

take a break if you need to even.

[ashen shore]

By wraping in a nearby galaxy back and forth

guess what

It triggered in the other galaxy

and not in this one

[static willow]

It’s the number

[indigo falcon]

(star system)

[static willow]

Lol

[ashen shore]

I will kill you too >:(

I know im jusyttyping fast

[indigo falcon]

then you will have gotten out your frustrations and be able to concentrate better!

[ashen shore]

:(

[static willow]

Must be a gek

[ashen shore]

I

[indigo falcon]

so

how many warps has it been since the one you didn't want?

[static willow]

Just make sure your fifth warp after a battle is into the system you want

[indigo falcon]

(and if anyone can get in and help the player n vc, I can't, working, but maybe that would be easiest)

[ashen shore]

how do I do that, I know wait

[ashen shore]

yeah :p

[indigo falcon]

warp until you trigger someplace

[ashen shore]

I have to start in the nearby galaxy not this one

[indigo falcon]

now count three (? ) warps: do the first two elsewhere

the third to the system you want

you can use space stations to get back close

[ashen shore]

so Ill have to start in a nearby galaxy and than do it

rn im in the galaxy I want

[indigo falcon]

*star system

[ashen shore]

star system

[indigo falcon]

exactly. you can go one space station away via the teleporter

then bounce back and forth right

[ashen shore]

Ok I wraped to a system now. So to reset the wrap trigger Ill go to this space station, save, leave the game and load back in

it should work, right?

[marsh haven]

• solar system

[ashen shore]

ILL KILL ALL OF YOU

[indigo falcon]

this will be a very quiet channel after that 😄

[ashen shore]

:(

[wraith junco]

Then nobody will help you :p

[indigo falcon]

I would not rely on resetting the count

with a save and reload

[ashen shore]

well, I WILL since I dont know what else to do

[marsh haven]

that does not reset the count. the current count and last time of battle is saved in the savegame. so its a realtime wait. and the game tracks the number of jumps

[indigo falcon]

(realtime wait has not applied in previous expeditions)

[ashen shore]

ok so how long real time do I have to wait

[indigo falcon]

real time wait has not applied in previous expeditions. at all. it may not apply here.

[marsh haven]

wait - its always a in game wait isn't it.

[indigo falcon]

nope

[marsh haven]

you cant be offline.

it does seem rather short for the expeditions tho

[indigo falcon]

in previous expeditions it has always been three warps, no wait

to the point of 'dang these freighter battles are sure getting tiring'

[ashen shore]

I read a reddit post saying 5 warps but it was like.. 2years ago

[marsh haven]

well, they are an accelerated upgrade path for freighter storage slots.

[indigo falcon]

that's for the general game.

[ashen shore]

I

I triggered the battle in another system

again

[indigo falcon]

ok so

[static willow]

So…. No emeril

[indigo falcon]

stop right where you are.

good good

how many warps was it

[static willow]

Atlas path is a bust

[ashen shore]

u are right

saving the game dosent help

In this system I wraped 3 times in total

[indigo falcon]

@ashen shore how many warps was it.

three.

ok good

[ashen shore]

this is why is triggered

[indigo falcon]

and you are one warp away from the one you want.

[static willow]

Nope, 5 warps, always five warps. Or three hours of game timer

[indigo falcon]

so

[ashen shore]

this is a nice frighter Ill maybe fight wait )))

hope is an A class at least

[indigo falcon]

not in expeditions.

[static willow]

Oh?

[marsh haven]

well, its an odd number, so just warping in and out of the destination system means the next one will trigger in the wanted system

[ashen shore]

agreed

[indigo falcon]

ok if you want to trigger again in the system you want, it will be: 3 more warps. go to your system you want, go away, go back. boom;

[static willow]

I’ve been consistently getting the freighter battles, but I haven’t been counting the warps, will start doing that

[indigo falcon]

so that will be the next round. ok?

[static willow]

how can I get emeril in the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

that's what I've been saying, expds 3-6 at least (and now it seems also 7) are verified as no in game timer and 3 warps.

[indigo falcon]

buried cache if you are fortunate, or travel to a green star

[ashen shore]

If I do the rescue in another system will it trigger again in another one?

[static willow]

Yeah, they seemed more frequent

[indigo falcon]

yes

[ashen shore]

oki

[static willow]

And how would I go about traveling to a green star? RNG HyperDrive module?

Might have to grind for that

Since the normal path isn’t available

[indigo falcon]

I didn't see a single one of those. are they ... lemme check my screenshot

[ashen shore]

U can travel by coordinates :D

[static willow]

How would you use the portals without the glyphs?

There’s no regular mission path in the expedition

[ashen shore]

Oh and thank u everyone for the help

[ashen shore]

I mean they give u the gylphs when u finish some expedition quest

[static willow]

Oh, I didn’t notice that

Too bad I didn’t make a base at any of the portals

Lol

No idea how you go about finding one in the expedition

[ashen shore]

TRUST ME IS A GAME CHANGER

[static willow]

Oh yeah, I would love to glyph in and grab some weapons and ships that I have coordinates for

[indigo falcon]

phase 2 gives you the glyphs indeed

[static willow]

S class alien blaster

Oh does it? I didn’t even notice

[ashen shore]

U can use one marked portal by another player (I suggest u go in one of the starting systems) and u put some random or searched glyphs in

[static willow]

Lmao

[ashen shore]

then set your base at that portal

[ashen shore]

yeah it does ;D

[static willow]

Too damn many bases

[indigo falcon]

portals: you could go to one of the less awful worlds and use the planetary coords, pinned in here

[static willow]

Thx

[indigo falcon]

don't seem to have a screenshot of the stuff that's locked at the anomaly, let me find

[static willow]

oh, that’s how I could get emeril too

[ashen shore]

awh man I got a C class frighter, black and yellow :( is a huge one tho

[static willow]

kek

[ashen shore]

I mean when I say huge

[static willow]

Venator?

[ashen shore]

yeah

I have one on my other save is a beautiful white one A class

[static willow]

I ground for a dozen hours in my normal game trying to get the S class, but I settled on an A Venator

[ashen shore]

exactly

[static willow]

was before you could upgrade

[ashen shore]

Look I wanna get this one : https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/v2m6m1/sith_empire_black_vernator_tower_keel_start_your/

Im a huge starwars fan

I need this

[wind sleet]

yo what's wrong with recursion in loop 3? I gave Polo 2k sun and 1k memories and nothing changed

[indigo falcon]

did you get rewards?

[wind sleet]

no, 3 and 4 are absent

(milestones)

[indigo falcon]

I mean did Polo give you something in exchange

[wind sleet]

he gave me fragments, i'm supposed to use it?

[indigo falcon]

yes. you're doing fine.

at least open. then use or sell.

[wind sleet]

hmm got you

[indigo falcon]

the optional milestones are community ones, everyone does a tiny bit

don't expect to see the needle move from your contribution.

[static willow]

That’s what messed me up the first time, went from 11% to 10% right when I made my contribution

[indigo falcon]

ah!

[static willow]

So I thought I had to do 10 more

[indigo falcon]

just fortuitous timing

[static willow]

yep, fed polo nine times today though

[indigo falcon]

I mean, do as many as you like. you get memory fragments every time

[static willow]

going to go get some more mats to feed him and dig up buried caches in hope of emeril

Noticed that they nerfed a lot of the old refining loops

[indigo falcon]

uh huh

anyone in game in the expedition (and safe) tha can get the screenshot of the locked starship upgrades, which things are hourglassed and which ones aren't, and drop it in here? I thought I had a bookmark at least and I can still not find it (and at work)

[gilded tiger]

Was the bug before the patch just the ||living frigate|| reward? Anything else you're supposed to get?

[indigo falcon]

just that, you should be able to claim all now when you complete

[gilded tiger]

Nice thanks. I claimed it earlier. Just checked in, since I won't be logging back in anytime soon

[ashen shore]

honestly I give up

I cant trigger the freighter battle here

Is it because is an outlaw system?

I cant

I triggered the battle in 5 different systems but not here

[indigo falcon]

that's an interesting question, I wonder if we know the rules for outlaw systems

that's new enough there's still a lot of stuff we're finding out

[ashen shore]

I really need help with this Im gonna cry is been 2hours

[gilded tiger]

Did you warp 5 times with the outlaw being the last?

[ashen shore]

yes

[indigo falcon]

*3

[ashen shore]

I really really need help

does the warp work even if I teleport via portals?

I havent tried this

[gilded tiger]

Oh it's 3, my bad. I thought it was 3 hours / 5 warps

[indigo falcon]

teleports don't count

[novel cave]

hey the disable sentinel quest mean i have to destroy the pillar or just shoot any sentinel i see?

[ashen shore]

:(

[indigo falcon]

normal game mode yes. this is expedition: no time gate, 3 warps

[ashen shore]

can someone else trigger the battle for me?

can that happen?

[gilded tiger]

Just shutdown panel at pillar

[dusty pecan]

there is a red terminal on the ground you can interract with. Use that

[indigo falcon]

you shoot 0 sentinels, just walk right up to the terminal, do nothing else

[novel cave]

Didnt sentinels defended those places?

[indigo falcon]

if you attack them. ignore them, walk up to it.

[novel cave]

I am pretty sure the last time i just walk up to it and the sentinels started attacking me and plus it i wasnt on aggresive planet

[indigo falcon]

I did this like 5 times in the expedition

if you're very concerned, set options->network->multiplayer disabled

[gilded tiger]

I've found it 3 times on different modes, they never attacked me

[indigo falcon]

so no one can come along and rile them up

[ashen shore]

Ok everybody! Can please somebody help me trigger this fight before I actually start crying? :D It just dosent work for me I might be broken

[gilded tiger]

#nms-lfg-or-trades mb here might be better to ask, although idk if someone can trigger it

[indigo falcon]

your warps are the ones that do it

teleport to system next door. warp in, out, in. that's the best I can tell you.

[ashen shore]

I did it just triggered the batthe there not here

[gilded tiger]

Mb try warping 2 times then saving. Then try a normal system first and see if it triggers. If it does, reload and try the outlaw system

[ashen shore]

ok Ill try my damn best

[gilded tiger]

I don't think anyone else can trigger it for you. apergos is wise sage of NMS, I'll take his word on it

[indigo falcon]

uh. thanks for the vote of confidence but lots I don't know (also not a he, btw) 🙂

[ashen shore]

YES

GIRLY HELP ME

im so lost I swear

[indigo falcon]

"girly"? ugh

[marsh haven]

I think a part of the confusion might be, there are other people triggering these events. I am continually flying into systems and being given an freighter under attack alert, and then another before the first is even done.

[indigo falcon]

anyways stick it out in the help channel, I would say

[marsh haven]

and, because im in combat, i cant even contact the ship to figure out which one is the freighter I can land on to claim my reward, most of the freighter battles ive been unable to claim a reward. the freighter i land on isnt interested in rewarding me

its a mess

[gilded tiger]

Sorry, it's hard to tell sometimes. I just assume everyone is a guy 😅

[indigo falcon]

and there's the big mistake 😛 😄

[marsh haven]

making sure multiplayer is turned off might be important if you are intent on claiming a specific freighter and not getting fights confused.

[gilded tiger]

In experience it's the safest bet. Lots of dudes pretending to be girls on discord, god knows why.

[static willow]

This! Haha, need to know about the metals!

[indigo falcon]

alienates people who are women or nonbinary though. and there are a number of us. just... be inclusive with language! it works.

[gilded tiger]

You're right, I should go with "them" instead of assuming. My mistake

[indigo falcon]

really no one in game in the expd who can stop by the anomaly and screenshot the starship and mt upgrade screens? meh

[static willow]

Can we start a second expedition save fresh?

[indigo falcon]

in theory yes. but: I would have completed the first one, and I would have backed up all my stuff, there's been reports of funky things happening with saves

[marsh haven]

must admit, apergos reads masculine - id assume male unless provided explicit pronouns or until corrected.

[static willow]

OK, not going to mess with that

[gilded tiger]

That's why I was careless. I usually go with they/them if I'm uncertain but I've spoken a lot to apergos that I felt certain, sorry!

Btw, any idea of content update release? Is there a pattern when they release expedition first?

[indigo falcon]

we've only had expeditions since last year, not enough real data to extrapolate

I'm uncertain about everyone until they tell me, that seems to work ok ...

reminder: switch update "this summer". so whatever you can get out of that.

[gilded tiger]

Why switch update standalone announcement? Is the game being released on it or something?

[indigo falcon]

oh! yes so it's coming out for that platform

[indigo falcon]

and there's been a trailer

[indigo falcon]

bless you, traveller, doing the Atlas's work!

[gilded tiger]

Anything new on it?

Ugh, I meant to reply to the trailer msg

[indigo falcon]

well you get an idea of gameplay, it looked nice actually

[static willow]

It is available

Lmao, why didn’t I check

[wind sleet]

np, I was sitting anyways guessing why I can't do another chance milestone, but on the way to making your screenshot I got anchor V reward and that solved it lol

[indigo falcon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2phRfO4x8c

[gilded tiger]

Next update should be 4.0 right? Could coincide with switch release

[indigo falcon]

maaaaaybe 😄 or it could be 3.99999

[smoky meadow]

okay i just jumped back into my 2nd attempt on the expedition skipping the die milestone

and i have noticed i dont have the base computer blueprint and i need to make a base for iteration 2

[gilded tiger]

That was a good trailer. I like that they started with a cave, I loooove the caves in this game

[smoky meadow]

any workaround to complete that milestone?

[wind sleet]

anyone knows how to deactivate derelict freighter receiver?

I mixed it up with memory device

[indigo falcon]

claim the milestone for Iterate/Repeat

[smoky meadow]

the entire point is i dont claim it, so thats the only thing i wont do

if its impossible its fine, i will still continue everything i can do

[indigo falcon]

no base computer = you can't do that milestone unless you find a base computer in the wild

[smoky meadow]

okay so it is possible but very hard then?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[smoky meadow]

oki thanks

[indigo falcon]

given how many players have been all over those planets, finding an unused bc.... mmmmm

but more power to you, good luck! let us know how it goes

[static willow]

If you missed the base computer plans…

[foggy cloak]

Also he needs hermetic seal

[static willow]

😉

[smoky meadow]

well i can go to some random planet (also what im trying to test doesnt require me completing every milestone, thats just an extra)

[foggy cloak]

And you can only get it if you die

[smoky meadow]

i already have hermetic seal

got that yesterday

[indigo falcon]

hermetic seal is sold at some minor settlements I guess so that's that

[static willow]

hasn’t the science already been done?

[foggy cloak]

Hmm, okay, but you can't ||claim the frigate without dying||

[indigo falcon]

spoiler that @foggy cloak

[smoky meadow]

i already finished the expediton and claimed the frigate

this is my second run

[foggy cloak]

Ah, then good luck

[indigo falcon]

there is in fact one way to thread the needle. if you are careful.

[static willow]

The number of bases is getting out of hand

Why the heck are people uploading their non-base bases?!

[indigo falcon]

you might see many from people in the same instance, non-uploaded

[gilded tiger]

I'm kinda scared to land in planet with many ppl. My game tends to crash when I'm around ppl

[marsh haven]

turn off multiplayer. you will see the bases of people in your lobby

[indigo falcon]

I played through in single player, same reason

[alpine zealot]

Markers

[indigo falcon]

yes you do still see them

you don't need to upload your bsaes for them to be markers

[alpine zealot]

I'm not sure they realise that, but i couldn't say.

But I'm with Extra, there's too many bases. I can't remember the system, but my compass was filled with icons.

[indigo falcon]

were you in multiplayer? because then you get the full dose...

[marsh haven]

on the other hand, imagine if everyone went to !hg and suggested that HG let us pin points-of-interest in our discoveries? And we could all just stop using base computers to mark locations to revisit nonsense.

[indigo falcon]

save beacons do that. only, I think in this expd, we can't guarantee the save beacon persists unless it's within one of our base radii

[twin olive]

I havent been on in a while. Seems like the community is still going strong

I used to dupe void eggs to give to ppl

On permadeath

[marsh haven]

Save beacons also can't be named. Also clutter everyones HUD. Also can't be searched for in discoveries. Also despawn if not saved in a base eventually.
Nothing is more annoying than seeing other players save beacon markers on your HUD during an expedition. Which one is it? Who placed it? Have you visited it before? It is marking something worth visiting? How can you turn it off so you can navigate to a nearby object you actually want to navigate to?

[indigo falcon]

this expd has funny rules.

[alpine zealot]

Second time around, yes

It was actually kind of unsettling with the frame rate too

[lunar flax]

Yo I found the giant whales in the trailer, what happens if I shoot them? can I interact with them?

[gilded tiger]

Is there even any point to visiting ppl's save beacon in expedition? What could be useful there?

[alpine zealot]

Some mark the Anchor points.

[indigo falcon]

they could have marked a crashed freighter, a pillar, or other useful thing

[gilded tiger]

Can't name from your side either?

[indigo falcon]

no. you can color them 😄

[marsh haven]

thats what nav data is for.

[indigo falcon]

...after they spent their nav data and found it 😛

I marked a nearby sentinel pillar with one so I can go back later and build a base midway between the crashed freighter and the pillar (if I get to it)

[marsh haven]

yeah but, only the player who placed it knows whats there. You could be looking for a pillar, visit 20 save beacons and not find a pillar.

[indigo falcon]

so people can get a twofer

[gilded tiger]

What's so great about crashed freighter? And for pillar, seems a little redundant no? as ppl may not be in that system looking for pillar?

[indigo falcon]

had enough people asking where one is or posting on the subreddit

a base close to both, good.

[marsh haven]

and nav data is basically free. if I wanted a crashed freighter, id spend 4 nav data on distress charts, and job done. Go directly to a freighter.

[indigo falcon]

that's you. other people may not know, not have the nav data, etc.

we don't have to build bases for anyone else at all, it's all doable individually but heck it's community spirit

[gilded tiger]

That's true, even I asked

[marsh haven]

and youre proposing they wast their time bouncing between player save points. When after theyve visited the 2nd one, they dont even have a way to track which ones theyve been to?

[gilded tiger]

I went 10 hours in exp and has 1 nav data, no joke

[indigo falcon]

no, I'm proposing that if I wanna put a save point to mark something I'm gonna build later, that this is ok!

[marsh haven]

thats your own save beacon.

[indigo falcon]

and that the build I upload might actually be useful!

[marsh haven]

its "other player save beacons" that are useless. because theres no way to know what they are about

[indigo falcon]

sure, I'm not saying use those, I'm saying there are reasons people put them down, and raising my hand with one.

[fringe agate]

Yeah, they marked where they want to build - standard practice

[marsh haven]

thats fine. i just dont want to see your save beacon on my hud

[gilded tiger]

Wait, save beacons need to be uploaded or are they visible to ppl by default?

[fringe agate]

Don't play multiplayer then

[indigo falcon]

now there, an option to filter out other players' save beacons, or limit visible bases or limit visible comm balls, I'm all for that

[fringe agate]

About 70k bases on every damn planet in the expedition, a beacon ain't gonna hurt you

[gilded tiger]

May I ask why? Doesn't really interfere with anything

[indigo falcon]

well I get it, it's not just one beacon, it's a pile of them right because a lot of us do it

[marsh haven]

hud clutter.

[fringe agate]

Doesn't matter.

[indigo falcon]

but I'm not in game, and none of my stuff uploaded, so nothing should be visible

[fringe agate]

It only displays X amount of things.

[gilded tiger]

I wonder how you feel about comm balls then

[fringe agate]

So whether you are seeing their beacon or not, something is gonna be there

Turn off Hud, or stop worrying about it.

[indigo falcon]

do we know max for those anyways? 30-ish bases, what about the rest?

[marsh haven]

at least base computers and save beacons only clutter the huds of players who are in teh same multiplayer lobby. So, if apergos is offline, or playing singleplayer, then there is no clutter for other players

commballs are implicitly uploaded.

[indigo falcon]

single player always, stability requires it

[fringe agate]

What

This isn't accurate

They don't need to be in your lobby to see the base computer icons

[indigo falcon]

for non-uploaded?

[fringe agate]

That isn't what they said

[indigo falcon]

ah

I read it in 😄

[marsh haven]

that IS what i implied. base computers used as markers are the real clutter.

Actual bases that are uploaded are less common, and... acceptable.

and those are proximity filtered. if you arnt near the planet, then it only shows a few.

[fringe agate]

They aren't less common, I'm not sure why you think that. Where do you think the clutter is coming from? You can't see just a base computer unless you are grouped with that person.

It's a perfect way to mark things as no one sees it but you.

[marsh haven]

you can see uploaded bases. Which have a size limit. And base computers for players who are in your online "lobby". which is not your group. but is the larger set of players that NMS is aware of that are in the system together.

[fringe agate]

Okie dokie

Turn off your Hud

That's your only solution, I'm not gonna stop and neither is anyone else.

[gilded tiger]

I thought you can't upload just the base computer, because "base too small"

[fringe agate]

You can't

[marsh haven]

lobbies might be sharded in a system. nms limits a lobby to ~20 or so players because the connections are peer-to-peer. so if there are 100 players in a system you will only see the content for ~20 other players.

[static willow]

Walked 4000u from the portal and couldn’t find a base location. Just going with coords in the future. Lol

[fringe agate]

Dog walking, bye

[marsh haven]

yes. this is why you see "uploaded bases" which are large enough bases for other players to upload. and these bases can be for players that are offline, and are fetched from ODS. And you see online bases. Which are bases from players in your lobby list. Which can be just a single base computer. And are only for online players. and are fetched using peer-to-peer networking.
If a player goes offline, all of their un-uploaded content vanishes, and you only get to see their last uploaded base per planet, in the last state it was uploaded.

[indigo falcon]

need to start mapping out a strategy for getting the stupidly expensive base parts I want, meh

[gilded tiger]

What parts we talking about? Quicksilver stuff or salvage data stuff

[indigo falcon]

no no I have all the qs items because those are cross save

as a builder I have everything unlocked on main save

[marsh haven]

that doesn't seem to work for me

I have QS items unlocked on one save that are not unlocked on other saves

[indigo falcon]

need to decide what exactly I want (what makes sense to help folks starting out) and then fastest way to get

[indigo falcon]

that's a bug.

you need to report that to hg and include screenshots and all.

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[gilded tiger]

Help how?

[indigo falcon]

well: marking the two sites next to each other (pillar, crashed freighter for two milestones) and some plants overstuffd in a biodome for the contraband milestone and some units

that would be good enough as a leg up I think

[smoky meadow]

are npc interations cross-save?

[gilded tiger]

Oh you mean on expedition save, gotcha.

[indigo falcon]

ought to have a teleporter in there too of course with proper power. yeah expd save all

[proper violet]

No. Learning words doesn’t transfer

[smoky meadow]

im confused because some npcs at the space station say visited

[marsh haven]

the exp gives us a translator. what a waste of a slot

[gilded tiger]

Idk how you do it. The only thing I absolutely hate doing is finding salvage data what a tedious waste of time

[smoky meadow]

but i just arrived here

[marsh haven]

i had that too.

[proper violet]

I also deal with that and don’t know wtf that’s about

[indigo falcon]

I don't know if I will do it 😄

[marsh haven]

i thought i got confused and went backwards somehow. but was sure i didn't

[gilded tiger]

I wanted to build a farewell base at the end of expedition and wanted wall light. Getting that 20 salvage data was excruciating

[indigo falcon]

try multiplayer off for those of you running into 'visited' npcs? I would not expect that to remain across saves..

[static willow]

I spent like an hour earlier mining salvage data. Medium refiner dreams

[proper violet]

Mf saddest puppers…

[gilded tiger]

Will you abandon that save after expedition? If so, your salvage data is MINE!

[indigo falcon]

no idea, I don't delete these

[bright wagon]

I spent way too long getting salvaged data just so I could put the exocraft summoner in my freighter

[marsh haven]

i wonder if the high costs will stay

[indigo falcon]

after 6 weeks they'll go to normal survival prices

[marsh haven]

im interested in keeping an exp save depending on what an X Class ship is all about

[indigo falcon]

pretty curious about that too 😄

X class mt, what is that??

[gilded tiger]

Idk what that is. Can't you just use the geopad you've unlocked before?

[static willow]

Well, the game just completely crashed exiting the ship after a storm, waiting for the portal

[marsh haven]

expedition 7 might be my new main survival save. Lets trash 430h of progress

[static willow]

yup, lost 12 mins

Damn

[gilded tiger]

How many did you get in an hour?

[bright wagon]

It's a room you can put in your freighter. You can summon any exocraft you own to any planet in any system that your freighter is in

So if you build the exocraft pad in system x, you can warp to any other system then just summon the exocraft

[static willow]

Like 47

[gilded tiger]

That's great! How much salvage data did it cost?

[bright wagon]

150

And the thing you have to unlock before it is 120

[gilded tiger]

Oh god no, I thought it would be in the 100s 😭

[bright wagon]

Like I said, I spent waaaaay too much time digging around for salvaged data to get that

[gilded tiger]

NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! 🤬

[bright wagon]

I only did it because the Minotaur makes killing sentinels a cake walk

[marsh haven]

i looked at that. and just carried around the mats to build a mech summoning pad. Wish geobays would pick up as items like proper portable's

[gilded tiger]

I would go fetch crystal storms for ppl rather than dig salvage data

[bright wagon]

The little sentinel drones don't even attack you when you're in the Minotaur and the walkers are ezpz

[gilded tiger]

I fell in love with minotaur during expedition. I didn't know it was that good.

So I'm gonna be using that a lot from now on on my main

[marsh haven]

rlly? ive always found the minotaur to be a sitting duck for walkers and sentinel drones.

[bright wagon]

The little flying drones didn't attack me even once while I was using it

[indigo falcon]

you can definitely be attacked and will take damage from sentinels in the minotaur

[bright wagon]

And the Minotaur cannon kills the little drones in 2-4 shots

[marsh haven]

u lucky

[indigo falcon]

there was a bug where the drones would not attack, I think that has been fixed

[bright wagon]

Ooooh

Welp

There goes my plans of just disabling the sentinels on planets with aggressive sentinels

[gilded tiger]

Yeah in the expedition, it didn't attack me in the kill 20 mission. Figured it was a bug

[gilded tiger]

I think I read somewhere that it's not permanent, so kinda pointless anyway

[ashen shore]

Hello again people I need help again

[gilded tiger]

Hello darkness my old friend

[bright wagon]

I don't think it's permanent, but it gives you a bit of breathing room if you're trying to set up a base on the planet

[marsh haven]

i havnt fought 5 waves of sentinels in the expedition. but in survival i always fight them on foot so i can keep mobile. defeating the walker is a case of shooting its legs out, then it stomps off and sulks and ignores you

[ashen shore]

How do I scan a freighter without having to battle ? Can I scan it before so I dont have to fight em?

[gilded tiger]

Why you wanna set up base on such planet? You like pain?

[indigo falcon]

it's until a reload or warp or teleport as far as anyone knows

and that's good enough!

[ashen shore]

:(

[bright wagon]

Look man... I'll do some not fun stuff to set up an activated indium mine

[marsh haven]

you have to fight, dock, scan, rreload until you get A / S class

[static willow]

Portal doesn’t work

Ugh

[gilded tiger]

Oh activated indium only on such planets? Welp, I didn't know that

[bright wagon]

There's activated indium on other planets

I just set up a mine on every planet I see with activated indium

[gilded tiger]

What if you build your base next to a pillar then every time you load in, you just turn sentinels off. Technically, paradise planet?

[ashen shore]

is been 1h no s or a class only c

[static willow]

You’re mining activated indium in the expedition?

[ashen shore]

I GOT LUCKY GOT AN S CLASS

LETS GO

[marsh haven]

what economy tier is the system?

ok. thats solved.

[ashen shore]

[gilded tiger]

Aww shiiiitt congratulations

[bright wagon]

I like having way more units than I need, so I always mine activated indium to sell it

[ashen shore]

iM SO HAPPY

TIME TO HUNT FOR SHIPS NOW

[marsh haven]

then you should be crafting Stasis Devices

[ashen shore]

🔫

[static willow]

System coords plz

[ashen shore]

i only got lucky

[marsh haven]

S class is rng. not going to help

[static willow]

One percent or 2% chance, right?

[marsh haven]

pirate system. who knows the chance.

[static willow]

Freighter chances the same as starships?

[gilded tiger]

Yeah they got super lucky. It's just been like 20 minutes since they asked

[static willow]

kek gek kek

[ashen shore]

Lmao is 69mil haha

[ashen shore]

1 hour actually

[static willow]

So I charged up the portal and nothing happened

Wtf

[ashen shore]

just pull the trigger

[marsh haven]

Although, if pirate system freighter chances are like starship chances. then there is a boosted chance to get S class, or C class only

[ashen shore]

I got only C class now an S

[marsh haven]

Yeah, pirate systems have a wierd curve. they have like a 5% for S class. And then very low chance for A or B.

[ashen shore]

im so happy

Now I can go eat

[gilded tiger]

Let's see the pic

[ashen shore]

))))

I cant send here >:(

[marsh haven]

drop it in #nms-legacy-ships and link it

[static willow]

👍

Their ship

[gilded tiger]

Nice

[ashen shore]

is awsomne

[marsh haven]

short. but I like the drive arrangement.

[static willow]

Can anyone speak to this portal dilemma?

[ashen shore]

wdym

[static willow]

I charged up the portal but nothing happens

No way to enter glyphs

[ashen shore]

can u.. show me or something?

[gilded tiger]

I haven't gotten glyphs to use portal yet so I can't speak on i

[jagged arrow]

Hey uh, so I cant get into the current expedition. It keeps telling me that the previous expediditon is "Finished" and wont let me in.

[static willow]

Glyphs are in the iteration two memories

Supposedly

[static willow]

[gilded tiger]

Did you start a new save?

[fringe agate]

Triple check the glyphs

Sure they are all charged?

[jagged arrow]

Yeah, thats what I tried tot do to start it up.

[static willow]

Holy shit, you are right, I guess I had a partial stack and one of them needed five more dihydrogen

Lmao

How does that even happen?

[remote thunder]

@jagged arrow what platform?

[jagged arrow]

PC

[fringe agate]

Just like you said, ate the partial but didn't take any more

@jagged arrow ^ please do this

[fringe agate]

Their website is down, may have some issues right now

[jagged arrow]

Alright, fingers crossed it worked.

[remote thunder]

if it didn't, try again in a few hours

[static willow]

I’m too used to normal mode where the stacks are so big this never happens

Also, they should just go into the other stack, that seems like a bug

[jagged arrow]

Sadly it hasent yet. Ill try again later.

[wind sleet]

it ended so abruptly... I saw black screen saying smth about loop and then main menu
and when I loaded back no ship (thrusters are charging somewhere ofc), no milestone completed... I was very confused...
but 10 seconds later I got it!
Though, I wasn't surprised at all by|| witnessing this creature||, since ||I saw 5-packs of them in sky a few times|| and once ||3-pack of whales even attacked me like pirates in the middle of pulsing|| lol

[indigo falcon]

(please spoiler the crucial part of that so other folks get the full impact when they go through) @wind sleet

[wind sleet]

well, it was no spoiler for me, but I do care, thanks

[static willow]

Grey lines?

[fringe agate]

Trade lines

[ashen shore]

so cute

[marsh haven]

an easy way to find trade outposts without a economy scanner

[smoky meadow]

how rare are storms?

[remote thunder]

activated <stellar metals> have them more frequently

in general

not rare

[smoky meadow]

i am in a planet with it waiting for one

[remote thunder]

can take time, may not have storms at all

sorry, storms that hurt

[smoky meadow]

i already saw a storm just didnt have enough time to grab enough storm crystal

okay i will just wait

its here haha

[wind sleet]

like every 10-15 mins or so

the last crystal was in front of me when storm ended and I had to wait for another one too

[smoky meadow]

f there was a tornado and had to alt f4

[remote thunder]

no

what

why

tornadoes are fun

[smoky meadow]

lol

[remote thunder]

just don't panic

you're just along for the ride

as long as you have jetpack fuel

[smoky meadow]

recharging my health hazards every 10 seconds while im flying isnt nice

i almost died

[dull onyx]

so far ive had a lot of fun as a new player, on second planet someone made base near whispering eggs so 10/10 was first thing i pretty much done, then i found sentinel pillar on planet with agressive sentinels, pretty cool stuff

[remote thunder]

you kinda want a environment upgrade mod

[dull onyx]

and i found random derelict in space which hjavent happened to me ever in normal mode

[smoky meadow]

im fine, no time to farm

2 hours on the expediton and im almost finish interation 4 xD

[dull onyx]

does survival have some different worldgen patterns or its my imagination

[remote thunder]

nah

same universe

just increased difficulty

[wind sleet]

I actually was amazed by getting extreme storm and extreme wind at the same time

[dull onyx]

right but you have sentinels on almost all planets in survival

[remote thunder]

"increased difficulty"

you can get a taste of that if you visit a harsh type galaxy on normal mode

[wind sleet]

mino is the way, I can't imagine jetpack movement on this planet

[smoky meadow]

i dont know how to use mino so i would probably die

[static willow]

Well shit, The glyphs I had to an S class multitool ended up being a B class

[remote thunder]

heat storms increase jetpack efficiency

[static willow]

Did they change that?!

[remote thunder]

might have changed yes. but how old was that find?

[dull onyx]

neat. however idk somehow planets in this expedition have pretty wild terrain and on normal mode i always find flat plains

[wind sleet]

I'd say recharging your hazard protection every few seconds is not efficient lol

[static willow]

It’s the same weapon (appearance), but it has two less slots and it’s a B class

[static willow]

Ancient

[fringe agate]

Terrain gen is the same, just unlucky

[remote thunder]

you don't - if you got the upgrade mods to deal with extreme weather

[dull onyx]

ah ty

[fringe agate]

Shared universe seed, all the places you are going, you can visit in any mode

[dull onyx]

ill take tinfoil hat off then

[static willow]

Does that mean my old ship logs are useless?

[wind sleet]

those additional modules last the same with different temps?

[remote thunder]

possibly

[static willow]

[remote thunder]

they last a lot longer than normal hazard prot - in an extreme storm, base hazard prot lasts like 8seconds, where as an upgrade mod will last well over 1m

[smoky meadow]

i have a lot of uranium so i can just fly to the storm crystals?

[remote thunder]

sure, they're easily seen flying low in a storm

[wind sleet]

wow, and I've been thinking it's trash

in normal weather there was just no point

[remote thunder]

i'm talking about the upgrade mods you get from the exosuit shop vendor at stations, just to make sure we're on the same page

which in exp7, you want to get from memory frags

[wind sleet]

uhh I'm talking about exosuit upgrades with indicator

that it lasts

[bright wagon]

Make yourself a Minotaur :3 you can collect the storm crystals without getting out of it.

And it might be faster because of how quick the jump cooldown is?

[wind sleet]

and can be recharged

[remote thunder]

same ones/we're talking about the same thing

[smoky meadow]

i wish i had gotten one from a memory fragment but no luck

[wind sleet]

I felt like I was recharging 2 things when I didn't really need double tank of protection time

[remote thunder]

save, inspect frag(s), reload if you don't get what you wanted

[wind sleet]

but on super extreme planet ofc I've been using exocraft

[smoky meadow]

true, i just dont like reloading since my laptop is kinda slow

[static willow]

I'm bummed I spent an hour an a half chasing that alien multi tool by glyphing in only to have it be a 'B' class

[remote thunder]

farm the nanites then just class upgrade it

[wind sleet]

mino is basically W+space and repeat

[static willow]

Is this just for the expedition or have things changed in the regular game too?

[wind sleet]

a lot less stressful

[static willow]

Bruh

[remote thunder]

old locations will have changed for all game modes

[static willow]

The nanite cost in this mode is excessive

That's lame af, they did it just to kill us ship and weapon hunters, eh?

[remote thunder]

just wait for exp7 to finish, then you will be able to convert it to a survival save

[static willow]

The appearance is the same, but it's a shiddy class

[remote thunder]

it will be back to normal prices, we think

or

[wind sleet]

are rewards only accessible in this save btw?

[remote thunder]

just complete exp7 to get rewards unlocked account wide, and then claim the ones you want in your other saves

[wind sleet]

can't I have smth special on my main normal save?

[static willow]

Yeah, I'll gamble it since I've got so much in already.

[remote thunder]

only phase rewards are unlocked account wide

[static willow]

Can we get a squid up in here?!

[wind sleet]

so only stickers and similar stuff then

[smoky meadow]

storm crystals acquired :D

[remote thunder]

squids are basically just an exotic model, there's still systems out there that can spawn them

are you asking for coords to one?

[static willow]

No, I have glyphs galore

But I’m not sure the classes will be the same

Tiler 3 system, double your 1% percent chance, kek

Wait, you can have multiple multi tools?!

Gone too long

[remote thunder]

up to 6

[static willow]

Good Lord nah

OK yeah, so I’ll just build a base and go back and buy that one whenever

Assuming the saves convert

[unkempt plaza]

anyone happen to know of a planet thats on/near the expedition path that has common burried technology modules?

(ive completed the entire expedition so how far in doesnt matter for me xD)

[wind sleet]

aren't they on every planet?

[static willow]

Yeah, OK, I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I just fed him too much, but it literally won’t let me interact with polo anymore

[unkempt plaza]

they are but on some they are more frequent then on others

[static willow]

I just used the Minotaur, and bounced around the planet gathering

[smoky meadow]

how much somnal dust do i need for polo?

[static willow]

got enough to do the teleporter

For the freighter

[wind sleet]

any amount

[static willow]

100

[smoky meadow]

ty

[unkempt plaza]

same altho the planet ive used for it has like 900 units in between each burried module so its kinda a long track 😂

[wind sleet]

aim for amount of fragments: 100 per 1

[static willow]

It’s 100 each contribution

[static willow]

The second anchor system has them 300-500 or so

[unkempt plaza]

might go check that 1 out then ty ^^

bcuz i kinda got sick of having to randomly walk for them to appear on the visor again on this planet

[static willow]

I’m still looking for a Paradise planet in a nearby system to set up a base for everyone

[unkempt plaza]

ah

[static willow]

Yeah, definitely prefer there’s one in view of each one that you dig up

[unkempt plaza]

ye

[static willow]

I wish there was a mechanism to convert metals to liquid sun without destroying the environment, shame on them. 😉 😉

[unkempt plaza]

rn im just digging up fossils for money :kek:

(also got a legendary skull but its on my minotaurs inv lol)

[static willow]

That’s dedication

[unkempt plaza]

XD

[static willow]

Are you one of those players who refuses to use other peoples bases?

[fringe agate]

I am

[unkempt plaza]

only time ive used another players base (from expedition 5-7) was in this expedition for the whispering egg task

[static willow]

purists

I’m a pirate by heart

[unkempt plaza]

for the rest ive never used any other players base

[remote thunder]

there's a limit of how much you can contribute per day, for each of the mats, yeah

[unkempt plaza]

(and ive started doing expeditions from 5 and onwards)

[static willow]

Plus, this is a community effort, as indicated by the research goals. 😉 😉

[fringe agate]

Visiting a base is tourist, not pirate

[unkempt plaza]

ye i visit bases

[static willow]

Yeah, I understand it’s about 20 or so, I didn’t count

[unkempt plaza]

but i tend to not use refiners etc in them

bcuz it feels more acomplishing when you complete the expedition by doing everything yourself

[static willow]

Check me out next to a freighter in an outlaw system

[remote thunder]

20, apparently, yes is the number

[unkempt plaza]

(unless its whispering egg destroying/collecting screw that)

then ill use a community base any time

XD

[static willow]

Take my mats Polo!

I got them specifically for you

[unkempt plaza]

ive had to many bad memory's with trying to get larval cores in the past lmao

and then i mean mostly this expedition :kek:

[static willow]

What happens if you teleport to the community bases in the expedition?

[stray meteor]

i landed on a planet that has color changing ground i thought my game was broken for a second lol

[smoky meadow]

okay time to record what happens at the end after skipping dying

[static willow]

Those are the best, I found one with a persistent purple aura around it

But it was barren of life

[stray meteor]

yeah mine is a blueish purple, the land far away is red but the closer you get it turns to blue

pretty cool ngl

[static willow]

If this game converts to a proper safe, I’ll go back and build a visual base

[unkempt plaza]

fun fact the bones im collecting are on a airless planet 😂

[static willow]

The whole planet was shrouded with a purple hue from space

That’s pretty awesome

[smoky meadow]

i am so happy

[unkempt plaza]

also was i the only one that was kinda dissapointed when they upgraded the minotaur fully with the sentinal tech that when you ride it you cant use the flamethrower that the actual sentinal mechs can

[smoky meadow]

you dont need to die at the start to finish the expedition

[unkempt plaza]

dang

[wild scaffold]

well you don't need that much money for the expedition

[unkempt plaza]

?

ayo another skull 😂

[static willow]

Exceptional!

[unkempt plaza]

ah yes the moment when the like couple hundred years older skull fossil is worth less then the other one i found lmfao

new one :

[static willow]

It’s a better specimen

[unkempt plaza]

old one :

ik lol but you would think that how old the fossil is also matters 😂

wanna know 1 thing i hope that could be kinda cool tho?

especially for the more rare fossil items for example (like the jaws or skulls) that depending on the tier (like how both skulls i got rn 1 is unique and the other exceptional) that they have different like item sprite things

ik its not rly that important but could be cool for a future update maybe xD

like that you might get a idea of what the creature of the fossil couldve been

[smoky meadow]

expedition finished, skipping initials death 2:27

[unkempt plaza]

dang

[smoky meadow]

that was much faster than i thought it would go

[unkempt plaza]

wel time to sell all this :kek:

[static willow]

Just docked in my freighter and there are no staircases

[unkempt plaza]

o-o

[unkempt plaza]

wel den

[static willow]

Wtf

[unkempt plaza]

i think the captain and crew are trying to keep you out

[static willow]

I guess I’ll be leaving then

[unkempt plaza]

wel just made like around 10 mil from all those fossils lmao

[static willow]

Nice

[stray meteor]

itd be cool if they add a section with fossils and if you were to complete that set you get rewards or something

[unkempt plaza]

ye true

[static willow]

Went into the anomaly and then back to my capital ship, all is well

Yeah, maybe an archaeological expedition?

[unkempt plaza]

honestly it could also be kinda cool if they make like a archeology expedition at some point

LOL

the moment when we both said the exact same thing lol

[cobalt shore]

Use jetpack

[static willow]

There wasn’t even a door

[cobalt shore]

Ok then they probably hate you…

[static willow]

Fr

[smoky meadow]

so expedition is completable skipping dying at the start, ||what happens at the end counts as a death||
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0DTpGhWJMg||

[native bloom]

How do you get the Hermetic Seal. I know you can save edit around it to complete the step and get the seal, but can't think of a way to progress without it. Maybe having someone give you one?

[indigo falcon]

sold a few places

[smoky meadow]

you can just buy it at a trade terminal

[native bloom]

Ah, makes sense

I save edited around mine because I thought it was bugged. I died and didn't get the completion. Got loop iteration 1 at the end, so I guess I did the same

[indigo falcon]

weird

[smoky meadow]

oh then i wasnt the first one to skip first death xD

[native bloom]

Well, I cheated

You did it more legit

[indigo falcon]

no, I had wind of it elsewhere a few days ago, that this was an option

[unkempt plaza]

also wasnt there a way to get some of the memory lost blueprints outside of memory fragments? (i thought i read something about unlocking them at crashed ship sites from the distress beacon a while ago)

[indigo falcon]

someone talked about it in the subreddit

[unkempt plaza]

i just dont remember clearly tbh

[smoky meadow]

well im probably the first one with video evidence

[native bloom]

Very well could be

[smoky meadow]

also idk what the fastest anyone has done the expedition but i finished with a 2:27

[indigo falcon]

people ar ebusy doing speed runs for sure

not caught up with the current status

[unkempt plaza]

apergos you happen to remember if this was possible-?

[native bloom]

I definitely saw one at about 1:30 recently

[smoky meadow]

i did go to a base so that maybe disqualifies it

damn 1:30

[indigo falcon]

haven't heard that one

[unkempt plaza]

ah k mustve been my imagination then prob lol

[native bloom]

Meh, speed run is a speed run, imo

The whole point is to maximize your knowledge and resources to get the lowest time possible. Bases are a resource

[indigo falcon]

rules I think are like 'no twitch drops, no qs items, no reload / save scum mechanics' I think...

not sure about bases, maybe ok

[fringe agate]

That's SASO speedrun

#other-games

[indigo falcon]

ty was about to look for that

[unkempt plaza]

@indigo falcon so i did some digging in this channel and appearently some blueprints can be unlocked by visiting crashed ships (according to some people in this chat a while ago)

[native bloom]

That's what I've heard as well

[unkempt plaza]

idk what ones exactly but multiple diff people have mentiond it

[native bloom]

Haven't done it myself

[unkempt plaza]

ye gonna test it soonish

[indigo falcon]

great, looking forward to an update

[glacial horizon]

last time i played was in 2018, cameback to try expeditions, what a ride, 6 intense af hours, boy this was fun af

[native bloom]

Oh, I hope you get to replay the older expeditions. I thought this one was one of the weaker ones

[glacial horizon]

can I replay them?

[indigo falcon]

hm interested to hear your review Gumsk

[native bloom]

Although the challenge level definitely was unique

[unkempt plaza]

tbh imo the 6th expedition was hella fun tho (like after the stupidly rapid pirate attacks got patched)

like story wise etc
