I’m taking a summer class that starts Monday
So no ps5 while I’m out of the house for 5 weeks
jagged charm
but summer hasn't begun yet
mystic bridge
Gotta get my fix in now lol
mystic bridge
Idk how I’m functioning usually I need 8 hours a night but these past 2 days I’ve had less than 6 total
And tomorrow I gotta figure out how I’m going to get to phase 3 in the expedition
Well actually today
mystic bridge
I have a very specific routine before I go to bed and I broke it last night when I lifted at 10pm
I think that’s why I’m becoming nocturnal
Is this the right discord chat to find ppl interested in running the expedition w me tomorrow?
I never know where to go
indigo falcon
go to #nms-lfg-or-trades but be patient, sometimes it's a quiet channel
supple walrus
They should have a menu pop up when selecting the Community Expedition. It would have options for either starting a current expedition, if one is active, or choosing any of the past expeditions to begin.
That would make the expeditions more evergreen and reduce FOMO
indigo falcon
the reruns have been in new systems than the old ones; there would have to be some thought put into that
with everyone starting together of course in the same system
supple walrus
They could make it so all future re-runs selected from the menu start in the same system. I still think the menu idea could work.
indigo falcon
it probably would have to be altered from time to time (too many bases accumulating, comm balls, etc).... hard to know, I'm not on the dev side of that looking at the problem
hushed oyster
That would make the expeditions more evergreen and reduce FOMO
I really never got the argument of fomo
The most you're missing out on is a reskin of something
gilded tiger
I think the value of whatever it is, is dependent on the individual. Missing out is the key
Someone did mention that HG might be doing this so create a sense of community with everyone playing together near each other. Which I think is a great way to look at it
So I think the FOMO thing is more coincidental than something intentionally bad
coral sail
Can someone send the coordiantes for Loop 4? I cant find it because the terrain is so bad and everything is invisible for me. I always get stuck in places with mountain on all sides. My terraformer isnt helping me either because I cant see where to go

They are also up in the pins if you end up needing the next one, or the others again. 😉
coral sail
I ve got it thankfully. It was at a really wierd spot surrounded by high mountains. I ended up falling into pits several times where I got stuck. I had to reload my save a lot and it took me a few hours. They shouldnt use bugged planets for missions.
Hope I wont die
coral sail
Is it intentional that I can see through the ground and the terrain is invisible?
dense basin
That seems to be a thing whenever you tunnel through mountains
coral sail
For me it starts as soon as i step onto that planet

AP 5 grave is *harrowing* to get to
the one I visited wasn't

Or that, we’re you using the terrain manipulator to get there?

and I've just done it again for the 3rd time
static willow
the one I visited wasn't
Lucky!
Mine was on a tiny ledge on an otherwise vertical face.
coral sail
The problem was there all the time even before I tried using the manipulator
static willow
yeah, obviously the anchor portals are all specific locations, but I think the grave is RNG or there maybe a specific number of sites
coral sail
Maybe I should write a bug report, because it seems that I am the only one where it happened
static willow

Maybe I should write a bug report, because it seems that I am the only one where...
Does this happen to you on other planets?
Maybe take a clip of the behavior
coral sail
No it happened only on one planet in the last expedition before and there it wasn't a big problem
static willow
Could also try graphics settings, it might be related to a specific feature set
Ok, I fed Polo a few times today
coral sail
Yeah I thought of it getting caused by the extreme conditions

Time to portal to my freighter
dull onyx
cool expedition, took me around 6.5h as a new player, thank you to everyone that made helpful base with naming that explained it's purpose

So, got back home after work trip
I assume now that patch is live it is possible to finish the expedition without having to wait for the optional objectives?
native bloom
I assume now that patch is live it is possible to finish the expedition without ...
Yes
indigo falcon
I have done so. claimed all items on main save.
fringe agate
I have not done so. Not played yet.
indigo falcon
tier 3 still at 60-something percent. patience, young Singular 😛
have not done writeup of expd thoughts for hg, will do soon-ish. now: over a few days accumulate salv data and expand the one base so it can be worth something to others and uploaded. no crunch and no rush.
fringe agate
Pfff, go unlock my S stuff
indigo falcon
after that. want there to be a quick way to get to sentinal pillar, crashed freighter, nipnips for units first.

Yeah Hostiles is a better word
I got legit scared and noped the fuck ouuta there to space station
indigo falcon
Do I have to shoot them?
absoultely you do not.

I didn't encounter them the first couple times I did the expedition
And if it makes you feel better, I think they were fakes
When they blew up, it was all metal

I ran away and it was just fine. so there.

The decal
ashen shore
This entity gets it
I like what HG did with this expedition
As a normal mode only player, I felt like the right balance between "I can do this" and "oh shit" moments
The integrated community research is also a nice bonus
Given how HG hardcoded the optional objectives into expedition screens, I assume they will return in later expeditions
Or I just read too much into what could be a simple oversight lmao
fringe agate
😄
ashen shore
No seriously
Open a previous expedition save, go to the milestone tabs and open the expedition milestones
You will see "optional objectives 0/1" on previous expeditions
fringe agate
I don't have one, but that is interesting
wild scaffold
how did you get such a nice wall
ashen shore
What I use is Thin Alloy Wall. The problem is, it has a color scheme that is not available on the list anymore
I dunno which update caused that, but I'm not able to put a new wall and have it in the same colors
I can only duplicate those existing parts
wild scaffold
:0
ashen shore
As for the stickers, I put Wall Light on the walls, but I scale them down so these clip into the wall
Then I slap the expedition sticker on top and it looks like it emits light
wild scaffold
I don’t have the building parts to do that
As in I have everything unlocked
But the limit
I can only have basic walls and windows
Otherwise I would have issues

@remote thunder maybe you got some info on this color scheme?

Have the sentinel activity level descriptions been changed for the expedition? Different from Normal mode anyway? I am looking for a safe planet to farm ancestral memories and they all sound like they are too dangerous for me

The expedition is in survival mode, with some permadeath elements. Low sentinel activity is more rare in survival and permadeath

actual low sentinels in the expedition? I've not seen one

its impossible to get the stuff from previous expeditions right

Without cheats or expedition reruns, yeah
Also, I have found that, just to get the bare minimum technology required for a fully sustainable indium mine, you need 520 salvaged data
indigo falcon
there are a few things you can get
calm anchor
And this does not include the cost of base parts to make an actual base
indigo falcon
some rewards were companion eggs of special types, and you can ask players for these
likewise if you want the golden vector (ship) without concern for the class or stats, someone could "trade" one to you from an unused save let's say
the rest, unavailable

So, me and my gf are playing the Expedition and in the first system...and there's like 30 bases on each of our games that don't show a name at all...do these bases actually have no name or is this some sort of bug where the name won't show for either of us?
indigo falcon
bug I guess, seen the same, only for not-my-bases

They aren't either of our bases, it's only other people's bases. But I was just confused cuz the names don't show for either of us even when we were in a game together

I think it’s a bug because I’m pretty sure you can’t not have a name

There’s probably to many for the game to handle
deft phoenix
Yeah, I was kinda under the impression you always needed a name, cuz my bases never let me not have a name
And yeah, I actually flew to and landed at one and it was kinda lame and boring but had a blank name still. One of the other bases kinda crashed my game when I got near it
indigo falcon
I'm sure there are names yeah
obtuse mirage
People place the bases at useful places so there pretty helpful

Jumps? You get all the Portal Glyphs from one of the phase steps just use those and the portal address for a system close to the core and you get there in no time at all. Only thing you'll have to do is find a Portal in each system to jump to be close to the Core, use either of these both will bring you close to the core, the top one will put you 1 jump from a gateway system, from where you actually jump to the core

that also confused me lol
intended death and delayed confirmation

7 hours, according to the menu

it was quite memorable ill keep nms installed even if just for expeditions in future

Jumps? You get all the Portal Glyphs from one of the phase steps just use those ...
Well dang, Thanks, for some reason I had it in my mind that you had to manually make it to the nearby system not by Portal!

I think it’s to showcase that it’s a permadeath mode, and how easy dying is.
umbral forum
I guess it already anticipated most people wouldn't be able to survive the first iteration if they don't know how survival works.
lavish stag
I guess it could filter out people who didnt read the warning
static willow
there’s reading the warning, and then there’s being used to normal mode and falling 6 feet and dying
terse dust
In all fairness, I never died beyond that
lavish stag
but well I've played survival before and I find it very challenging to actually die
static willow
In all fairness, I never died beyond that
Lucky!
umbral forum
This planet in particular was rather unforgiving since it doesn't have many caves.

Well, I did the "get to the center in permadeath" a few months ago
So I trained a bit :P
static willow
Well, I did the "get to the center in permadeath" a few months ago
I had 83 hours into a permadeath save and lost it to the falling out of the freighter bug way back in the day
umbral forum
Died once running out jetpack juice around the end of the second phase. The planet was low-gravity and screwed up a jump.
static willow
never got the achievement 
indigo falcon
ah the popular "game glitch" method of ending a permadeath save...
static willow
Yeah…
Thankfully they patched the falling into space bugs since then
I wouldn’t be so bitter if it was through my own actions
terse dust
I should redo the Permadeath thing without save slingshot
But like... you just need to go to the planet that has all the glyphs and you're golden so
umbral forum
Took me 10 hours for the permadeath achievement. It was less than this expedition, which took me almost 12.
terse dust
I'm 14 hours into the expedition cuz I'm doing freighter runs for Somnal Dust
umbral forum
I just AFK farmed the dust. Have enough stockpiled for 1 or 2 more days.
lavish stag
I kinda couldnt get started because I refused to just die :p
terse dust
I wish I knew how long it took to start
terse dust
Might as well just die, yeah
Like first thing
Fling yourself off a cliff
Here's my Centred save
Again, I just had to make it to the Anomaly.
terse dust
There's a planet with all 16 on it
And it only takes two glyphs to reach
Wait, if I restore a backup, maybe I can find out how long I took
Loading a save nine hours in
You know what the luckiest break of my run was?
I ran into stellar ice, and it gave me like a thousand Uranium
I never had to craft launch fuel again
So yeah, this 9:46 save is complete.
odd parcel
Ok I finally finished the expedition!
indigo falcon
you made it through the derelict ok!
odd parcel
Haha Ik, wasn’t sure I was gonna make it out
Had ptsd from last night where I lost like 3 and a half hours of progress
Overall, though the story and rewards were pretty amazing, I think the permadeath might have been a little much. It’s nice to see hello games experiment and they should definitely include permadeath as an option for future expeditions but I hope they don’t make it mandatory again. My heart can’t take it
terse dust
Yeah it was aight
indigo falcon
I feel ya, difficulty knobs would let everyone be included at the difficulty they enjoy 🙂
errant heath
I think the permadeath was interesting. I dont think milestones should have reset on death tho
terse dust
If y'all need a good derelict, I've got one
indigo falcon
me too 🙂
errant heath
Tho it wasnt a long expefition

Yeah that was my main issue I think
With the reset
indigo falcon
depending on what you mean by "good" of course!
errant heath
If you were careful, its very ahort
indigo falcon
if you were careful, and fortunate, and a fast player. (I am not a fast player)
errant heath
I learned very quickly to be VERY stringent with jetpack use
odd parcel
That, or anchor points would actually “anchor” you so when you died, you would just respawn at the start of the phase again
umbral forum
I liked the increased risk. Losing all progress was kind of a pain since starting from square one is already a big penalty.
errant heath
I think they should have been more transparent on what stayed and what didnt
odd parcel
Yeah true
errant heath
I think a roguelike nms modewould be cool af tho
indigo falcon
well it was meant to be a puzzle. there was a big fat hint given
errant heath
Maybe for like a dungeon

milestone: "The Anchor"
errant heath
Ye
odd parcel
I do really like the cape, the trail and the frigate though, those were really cool rewards.
indigo falcon
the problem is that a puzzle where you lose hours of progress on each try, that's a bit much
errant heath
^
indigo falcon
cape and trail look very nice
errant heath
Like sure bases stay but like
Theres still more
The community def came in clutch for each other tho
The whispering egg, sentinel, and other bases was awesome
umbral forum
I think I wouldn't have enjoyed the expedition as much if I had all A-class upgrades and whatnot.
indigo falcon
maybe you would have, hard to know now though 😄
errant heath
I didnt mind it, i ended up making stupid amounts of money and and stuff
indigo falcon
anchor 4 gonna try to kill you regardless of upgrades 😛
errant heath
Tbh the expedition is still going so if you are careful, you can grind out a crapton of nanites with thememory fragment recipe
Then when it gets converted
indigo falcon
one could
errant heath
You are set
umbral forum
I like having to work around limitations. That's how you learn how to exploit bugs and "features".
You can AFK farm somnal dust too to sell it for units or nanites.
errant heath
Mhm
odd parcel
I think what I’m gonna do is wait till the end of the expedition and then use my save to go to the center of the universe for the achievement
errant heath
Is it gonna be survival or permadeath
indigo falcon
yes
errant heath
If you go to the center now does it count?
odd parcel
I’m not sure
umbral forum
Only one way to find out. 😛
indigo falcon
I don'tknow. I would wait tbh
odd parcel
They give you the portal glyphs so it’s not too tricky to do
errant heath
Ye
Ye may just wait till it converts
then just need to do a permadeath run
And ive gotten all the achievements
odd parcel
The one reason I just don’t bother with permadeath is because they make you do the entire tutorial every time you die
Which is unbelievably annoying
errant heath
Ye i wish we could skip the tutorial
odd parcel
And slow paced
umbral forum
Wow that sounds like a bother.
errant heath
Ah well
odd parcel
Like if they removed the tutorial from permadeath then I think I would actually play it
Cause it’s kinda fun
umbral forum
Early on when I just bought the game I died stuck between building colliders. Given how stable the game can be at times, permadeath isn't really for the faint of heart.
odd parcel
I had to quickly quit out today because my ship got stuck inside my freighter and I was dying
umbral forum
Some people secure separate save backups for these situations, but then I kinda don't see the point of it being permadeath.
errant heath
I think its fun to do it once
Survival is cool tho
Def gonna keep this expedition save
odd parcel
To me, I can see myself playing normal and permadeath but survival just kinda feels like a less convenient way of playing if that makes sense.
errant heath
I felt like Normal is easy mode and Survival is the way it was meant to be and permadeath is hard mode
Cus i have too much shit on my normal mode lol
odd parcel
Nah bro the real ones play creative mode
errant heath

woeful niche
When I switch it I no longer see the inside of the cockpit at all, just the ship from behind
The problem is the part of the cockpit with the coords is cut off
wraith badge
so you were in 1st person then ... I bet you have a ship with a rounded cockpit if so flying slow above a planet means you probably cannot see the lat/long display ... only way to fix that would be to alter the FOV
which would be in the main settings
woeful niche
I believe it is still at 75 (the default?) Should I go bigger?

well you want to see more of the cockpit so which ever direction does that either up or down

yes you may have gotten some X class upgrades but once the next milestone is reached all upgrades will be S Class, then X with the next one
tired condor
Then down to x?

sadly yes

because X is as bad as C or better than S but all depending on the RNG you get

Damn. Makes it hard. Luckily I can just reload save on single player….better not happen again
fluid dock
good luck. only way i can think to avoid it is spend as little time as possible flying through space
drifting helm
I’m forgetful. I’m always flying this way and that….
Can’t fight em cause it’s too risky. Plus there’s usually more than one that attacks too

it's a shame that permadeath makes purchasing tech blueprints 10x as expensive. the emergency warp unit purchasable from the anomaly would help
drifting helm
It would. It seems The entire save is out to get us…..
fluid dock
unfortunate, but that seems to be the point
i have my own question about the current expedition
/ the permadeath file
drifting helm
What is it?
fluid dock
i'm wondering if it would be possible both to complete the expedition and earn the "to live forever" achievement with the same file
the achievement is for reaching the center of the euclid galaxy on permadeath
i currently have the option to complete the expedition, but I don't know if it will cause my progress to get wiped or not
meaning starting a new iteration
drifting helm
I mean I guess you could
But I heard that if you complete the expedition, the save becomes normal. Not to mention you die and lose everything again
fluid dock
Ah. that's what i thought
drifting helm
Which means unfortunately, all the items or ships or whatever in the expedition means nothing after the expedition is complete. Sad.
fluid dock
before i go through the trouble of trying to reach the center, i wanted to know if the achievement was disabled for this expedition file specifically
drifting helm
That i would not know
fluid dock
i'm fine with losing everything i've done, i just want to know the right order to do things in
drifting helm
You’d have to reach the center first, then go back and finish the expedition
fluid dock
i'm ok with that
drifting helm
I think. Just started the Expedition an hour ago so everything I’m saying I looked up 😅
fluid dock
fair enough!
thanks for trying to help, im sure it's worth a shot
the only problem is i have to find one of the portals again because i didn't save any of the planetary coords
drifting helm
Good luck on your travels though! I might even attempt a go myself, I am in single player after all….
Ah. I would help ya out but I got none either lol
fluid dock
well. i don't Have to find a portal but i would prefer one over travelling the whole way warping ~800ly at a time
drifting helm
Especially since the freighter only has a warp of 1 light year….
fluid dock
yeah they really seem to not want you to use a freighter
it costs 50 salvaged frigate modules just to buy the blueprint for the matter beam 😭
and none of the expedition milestone rewards were freighter-based

No when you complete it it’s still the same save until the expedition event is over
drifting helm
Yes but don’t you lose your stuff? Not your achievements that time round though
Thats what I read at least
minor breach
No I still have everything from when I completed it
minor breach
Uh haven’t died after finishing it so I don’t know
drifting helm
Ah. It’s all good, not sure many have yet haha

where can i find hyperdrive range upgrades for starships in the expedition?
ashen turret
you buy them in space stations like usual ... but pay an arm, leg, and a few other vital organs ... compared to normal prices. Or you can try your luck from memories

i did not get To Live Forever using the expedition file
however, i had not previously earned "Take a Deep Breath" which is the one it gave me just now

You can also scrap ships to get hyperdrive upgrades. If you have an economy scanner go to a rich system and S class ships should be easier to find.

I can taste that medium refiner
calm flax
I'd rather have the personal refiner myself. I just visited a few crashed ships and got it.
I've completed a Steam save and an Xbox save using the portable refiner and the personal refiner and it worked just fine. There are things the medium refiner is better for. If it was a regular save I'd get the medium and large refiners as early as I could. Even on a regular save the personal refiner is a bigger priority for me.
I did get lucky last night. I had finished my Xbox expedition and was warping around looking for a paradise planet. Probably the second warp I got into a freighter battle for a long Dreadnought. After the battle I almost didn't even check it but, I did anyway just out of currousity. Especially since I only had around 14m on me. Turns out it was a S 34+9. I'm going to delete this save soon so it didn't bother me to call my freighter in and dupe a few valuable things I had and use the ship trading glitch in the space station to get the 150m I needed to buy it.

Already have a personal refiner
