Ok, got 124 salvaged data now
Here we go, spending 100 on a med refiner. This mode really makes you appreciate the little things.
Recording everything In this chat
?
I mean this person
Also I am just wondering, how many hours do you have?
they're referring to an NMS resource lol
over 1k
across multiple saves / game modes
How many hours on your mainj
close to 500 i think?
or at least my oldest save, became not my main for a while. now i switch a bit. i still need to clean up my expedition saves 
really wish HG updated saves to allow us to name them, so they're easier to track (for those who are on console especially)
that's nice you got to switch to PC. on Steam?
main reason why i'd love PC is for mods
same, still thinking hard about it
Should I try mods?
scale glitch. I use this all the time, no mods needed. I shrink containers and wall planters and various other things so they aren't giant eyesores.
this is inaccurate. the save will convert itself to a survival modee save; you keep everything you had and continue playing.
Ok. But it becomes survival? I thought it became normal
this one becomes survival
no, survival mode. I know the nms web site is likely still down now but that's what it said on their release notes
all other expos became normal. but this one's the exception
Oh well. Better than Permadeath
Pro Tip: ||Your expedition save is no longer permadeath after you complete the expedition, and you can die without losing everything|| Source: Did the science.
Wire scale glitch?
i went to the center of euclid on the expedition file Before ||calling the leviathan and "ending" the loop|| without having any galactic-center-related achievements, and the achievement it gave me was the survival one
not permadeath
someone likely used the universal adjaceny glitch here, it's easier. but either one, yes. and then as to plants in the floor, straight up wire glitch for those
good to know you don't have to wait for the save to convert before getting that achievement!
yep, unfortunately i wanted the permadeath one though π
currently waiting around on an extreme hazard planet to finish the extreme survival milestone (and get the 2 achievements for that im missing), and then after those i'll do the permadeath galactic core achievement as my final one
then ill have all of them
nice job! I'm not inclined to the survival or perma modees so I'll likely not do those ever, but extreme wrolds was easy enough, as I'm a builder.
do the extreme world survival milestones still count in non-survival?
if so, thats very interesting
well there are milestones and you rack them up
having a nice base on an extreme weather world is always nice, so you can duck out and collect storm crystals when you like
yep those
i see
i suppose for creative files that means "extreme survival" is a log of how long youve spent on those worlds at all
I guess so
since you can't die and reset the counter
still requires a chunk of time
thats very true
to be fair, if you have a base set down, it's really about the same thing in all the modes
just expand it, make things look good
eats 8 hours very fast π
i didnt bother to set down a base so unfortunately its just me and this narrow underground tunnel
well base pieces in the expedition are a bit harder to come by. sheesh!
occasionally some creature on the surface decides it'd like to eat me for lunch, but for some reason they cant pathfind down here
you found yourself an extreme world with predators too? great π
also there's a nearby repository that gets "raided" by pirates occasionally
makes the screen shake, which helps me see from a distance that the game hasnt fallen asleep
hilarious!
on the plus side there's zero sentinels
well I can see why. real hospitable place
im no longer on the expedition file for this actually π just my normal survival one
ah! so there's not excuse for you not at least plopping down a bc and some walls door and roof
at least wait out the storm in comfort
well. the cave is treating me just fine so far
theres a save point in here
its warm glow is all i need
or perhaps you have already decided you are never coming back π
not much of a planetary base builder, no
cave build ftw! π
i love decking out my freighter though
in theory i could make this cave bigger and spruce it up
Oh hmmm
well this "cave" was entirely my doing so perhaps i should chose one the game made
oh. um yes. you should.
part of why im afraid of the surface is im like 75% sure that this is a planet with weird lightning storms that can just kill you if they want to
ouchie
the suit warning dialogue is "electric disturbance detected" or something like that
after a storm is already in progress
yep
means you would want to set up shop above ground only between storms, once you have somewhere from which to perch you just build camera everything else
anyways if you're mostly a freighter build person, save your build part count for that
lord knows i need it with all the little plants and mushrooms everywhere π
how many floors are you using? are you one of those 'all 14 floors and 21 x 21 rooms' people? π
Anyone know what this is for? Seems to be something like the Station override, like not useful yet but may provide a use in the future.
Expedition 7 item
also, I wonder what will happen to all the prices and locked blueprints after the saves convert.
Used in the last phase to || get to the derelict attacked by Leviathan ||
you need it to complete phase 5
once you've done that you can keep as a memento or toss, up to you
I expect all prices will be back to normal after the end of the expedition, just a regular survival mode save
well of course. that's how I got it.
I don't recall using it to find the derelict though.
you didn't have to "use" it, just possess it
if you tried to do that milestone without having it, you'd be told you needed it
someone was in here the other day and they had that problem.
Yeah sorry, used wasn't the right word
so old expedition were converted to normal mode saves, so would that mean we could go to an expedition world (like Gisto Major from the Cartographer's Expedition) while in a normal save that was never an expedition and now see all the bases people made during that expedition? 
you could try it and see. got glyphs? do science!
I think that should be possible
I visited the last RV system of Pioneers expedition on that save
My PC did not like it
ouch π
I visited the anchor worlds from this expd in creative mode out of curiosity: no bases visible. but lots and lots of comm balls, I didn't know they carried over
Speaking of travelling with portals
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the expedition save to get the achievement for reaching the center in permadeath
no
someone already tried, you get the survival one.
(it's not really perma in spite of the advertising)
For someone who plays only normal mode that's good enough
it's fine. I don't care at all about the achievements so I won't bother, heh
I don't care to play through constantly fussing over stack sizes
I had no idea the random traders that land on planets near you ||have a bevy of X class modules for sale and are part of the plot||, I thought it was some kind of bug.
NPC traders are a thing in any mode
But are they really || a part of the expedition plot ||?
Yeah, I've been gone for a while
Like have they any unique dialogue?
I honestly wouldn't know, outlaws are also new to me so this is all being absorbed into this iteration.
so what actually happens when you die in here?
I died very early and I forgot. Do all your shit reset?
Check the pinned messages, @indigo falcon here made a great post about that
thanks
the landed pilots sell X modules in any game mode, they are black market smugglers, it's just what they do π
Hey.
I don't really like or use the exocraft very much.
During the expedition I got a bunch of upgrades, especially for the nautilus.
Does that mean I will probably need to use it later in the expedition or can I sell them for nanites to upgrade my hyperdrive?
you don't need to use any exocraft
you may want the nomad as it can climb up vertical cliffs; the minotaur you will almos tcertainly use
sell anything else
you're going to get a lot of memory fragments, holding 2-3 for now isn't a big deal
you'll also likely get a lot of dups which you can sell off too
Yup, Nomad for speed, minotaur for utility and hazard protection
Sell the rest for some nice nanites
i thought you only get minotaur upgrades on the expedition
you get all kinda random junk
Invest them in what upgrades from space stations you need
Thanks. π π
I got a module for environmental protection in the minotaur (that module doesn't exist any more in game π )
Wait waht
hey me too
are we getting close to S-class memories?
79%
nice
in a couple three days I guess
!tier
@ashen shore Please use this command in #bot-spam.
Yeah I did
I wonder if it still gets the right values
Given how expedition research has replaced quicksilver research for now
I tend to get multiple installable tech packages that are the same so I can only use one.
sorry but as I cant upload a picture here I used the help channel
I think so, remember that there's a max per person per day
which planet is this?
Itri Delta .. discovered by Hello Games .. Chistor-Olev system
ok, so not the world with the anchor point.
I cant remember but I think its not the one with the anchor point
no it is not
so I don't have portal coordinates there to verify if that actually was a portal location
yes there was a portal there .. now my save pod looks weird as f**
you should see that there's some sort of base there which you cn report
but get down to the ground before you do so
its not a base its a colossal archive
report from the quick menu, all the way to the right, and then see what it looks like
ok thanks
let us know please
ok I just reported it and my save pod just dissapeared
the colossal archive
no huts or any weirdness though
yes I still see the signal of the pod
do you see any other save beacon around in the HUD?
i'll take a picture and post it in help channel . .give me a min
ok
looked
ok so the colossal archive itself is not a base, it's a point of interest
that makes me think you've gone to someone else's save beacon and not your own
so that's why I ask about any save beacon you may have placed
or others that may be visible from the HUD
do you remember if you colored your one when you placed it?
it was mine .. I was able to pick it up . .besides It was the only red one in the planet
so you've picked it up, hrm
yes I colored red .. because it was the only red one
right
well ther eis literally no way one point of interest transforms into another in this game
no I didnt pick it up . .but when I reported it .. it was gone
it just doesn't happen
so if you need that portal, you have two options
- go back out of atmosphere and see if you notice now another oclored save beacon
I will search for another pΓ²rtal .. thats not a problem
2)go the slow route and look for a monolith etc
ok I will do that
thats why I think this s weird
but do let us know when you get there what you find, I am definitely curious
when you placed your one it might have been the only red one but when you went back there may have been another placed by someone else, anyways we'll see!
ok I went to space .. and my red savepoint its in same place of another players base .. so now its even more weird .. I take a picture and upload it in nms screenshots
waiting for the screenshot to show up π
just upload it . and tagged you
thank you
that looks like a settlement of another player
at this point just go to a monolith and get directed to a portal the usual way
it's taking too long
and pic of the portal when you arrive, see if there's a save beacon there
yes but there is no settlement . .its the colossal archive ... I'll do that right now
before you use the portal, record the planetary coordinates
ok
and get 30 chrom metal and put a base computer "near" if you can
that will settle that
could be that my save pod was moved ???
no idea
no point in worrying about it now, let's just get you a marker at the portal that will work.
ok thanks for helping
let me know what's at the portal!
ok Ill do as soon as I reach there
Say you're in phase 2, and you die as per the optional milestone. Are you sent to the very beginning?
see thee pinned message "persistence after death" in here for info
I did, but I don't think I'm understanding it
the optional milestone is not asking you to die
no it doesn't
if you die doing that milestone or some other one before completing phase 5, then the contents of the pinned message apply.
is your question really "how do I contribut to the optional milestone"?
You mean like: you went to clear a derelict to get Somnal Dust and you died, you wonder where you will start up again?
In terms of progress, not location
let's find out the question first
Yeah this is me trying to understand their question
guess I'll update the mini-faq pin while I'm on it
"you do not need to die to progress this milestone, in face we recommend against it", heh
just tagged you with the coords of the portal .. will now place a computer base there (edit .. placed a base computer and named it "Portal here")
Gives me the loading screen tool tip vibes: "The key to winning the fight is to reduce the enemy health to 0 while keeping your health above 0"
Why, why, why?! I was trying to remove an superfluous scanner module and accidently drifted to my survey module... No blueprint 
l;ooks like a plain old regular portal. oh well with a base computer there then you'll always be able to get there directly
Are you doing some science?
no, there was a save beacon mixup, maybe a save beacon that had been moved, hard to know
I had a couple wonky events today, but nothing out of the ordinary for NMS, lol
I'm guessing someone literally just picked up the save beacon and walked off with it without thinking, can happen
there was no base to prevent that, so....
anyone in here that is online in expd save and can check a catalogue entry for me?
ancestral memories, price per unit (screenshot if it's easy)
before, after, doesn't matter
15 iirc, but one moment
trying to write up a 'tips for nms players with chill playstyle' doc, gonna see about adding this as a source of early units
ty
1.616 units each
screenie?
just a sec
(gonna stash it in my folder of helpful images)
my game is in spanish hope that does not matters
if we can figure out the value then I don't care at all π
Not seeing the item in the Catalogue
oh, huh maybe they didn't add it, naughty devs!
oh π well that works too
I don't have a 'Special' in my Catalogue, do you?
curiosities maybe
let me see what category they have it over there at nmsresources
I know
I was going to look for the category to see where it might showup in a player catalogue
oic
I think the best we can do is the hover
It's in there?
no no I mean I found the entry which places it in "special" and not in curiosities, meh
wily devs
so yeah maybe not in catalogue at all
thanks to both of you for helping out!
Oh, gotcha, yeah, makes sense. Why add a temp item?
so we can't run around later in survival mode doing this.... π
is liquid sun still 16 units per thing though? that's some skewed pricing if so
(pre-existing item)
Greetings. I'm exploring the derelict freighter after finding Anchor Point 5. Sometimes, when I shoot at things such as the gunk blocking doors, my camera flies around and then I get thrown outside of the freighter. Has anybody experienced this, please?
no! please check settings: options->network->multiplayer: is this enabled or disabled?
sup peeps
Was that to me? It is disabled.
So far the worst I've had in a derelict freighter is not being able to open a door and not being able to finish it.
Yikes. I wouldn't mind if it was a regular freighter but this is for the Expedition. If I die now because of being thrown out in space I'm going to be rather upset. π¦
currently farming rdv 4 derelict freighter
alt f4 on death screen
That prevents the permadeath?
π
it was to you, and that's troubling. it means I can think of no reason you should be thrown out of the freighter.
in theory if you fall from space, a latest patch puts you somewhere save, but I've had reports of that failing too. mmmm
Thanks. Ah well, I'll keep trying. I've completed many, many derelict freighters before this as I wanted to contribute to the optionals and for a while, thought I couldn't/shouldn't proceed until each was done. Heh.
what tool are you using on the doors?
Mining.
try standing... I dunno. farther away or something, see if that helps.
just grasping at straws here really
Aye, that did help except for when I went to the bottom of a ladder and had to cut through a door. Heh.
I'll try my boltcaster.
I appreciate the straw grasping. Thank you.
there's two ladders in the system 5 derelict iirc, after that you're done with close encounters of the door sort (can shoot anything else from a bit away)
@indigo falcon
That took forever to upload for some reason, maybe better than the watermarked one for you. π
awww thank you!
Phew. I made it. The bolcaster didn't cause the bug, thankfully. π
Cheers.
so you've got only two tasks left??
They're worth surprisingly much
they are a great way to get some units
Yes. I've made the item. The finale will have to wait until tomorrow, however. It is very late here and I also want to finish optional 3 before I complete.
Thanks again for your help and good night. π
Bugs I experienced during the NMS Expedition 7. Please @ me if you experienced these too!
1 Combat in space causing you to auto target sometimes makes your ship stuck against a freighter or space station
2 Odd Jetpack jumping while on a planet
3 Rarely, while flying in 3rd person and using the pulse drive causes a visual glitch the starship "bounces" back and forward.
4 Rarely Starships "gate lock" space stations

Ah, thanks ahah
ay im semi-new to the game and i don't know what type of planet description means it will have extreme weather, do any of you guys know if the third system it sends you to has one? trying to do the storm crystal quest haha
anchor 1, toxic moon and anchor 4 planet have extreme storms+storm crystals
cheers π»
No Man's Sky - Exploration - Finding Storm Crystals
Storm Crystals require an extreme weather planet, which often have Activated Copper/Cadmium/Emeril/Indium in their resource list.
They can only be collected when they are activated during an extreme storm, and can be easily seen from a distance.
π Did you know? Rarely, you may find extreme weather planets that do not spawn storm crystals.
Cheers again haha
If you want to cheat a little, some people tend to have bases set up specifically for it :p
alr thanks
If you are hunting storm crystals, probably best to make sure you have a steady supply of material to recharge your hazard protection
Storms can eat away at it really quickly
ima use my minitaur
only gotta hop out to check scanner and collect them
so i should be good
i do got like 70 power cells tho haha
no need to hop out to collect them
minotaur has that ability
and if you can spot them from a distance, no need to use visor either
Hey so I just disabled sentinel forces (to get the milestone) by defeating all the waves and I got coords to a sentinel pillar, I went to get a weapon but it's asking me for 5 mil units to add it?
Is this normal for the expedition, normal for a permadeath save, or a bug?
The weapon is worse than the one I have currently but I still wonder
yes, that's normal, extract weapon still requires units
Hmm
I don't remember it taking units the last time although I really don't remember if I did do it at all
You buy the Multitool like from the normal cabinet
Maybe you didnt have to buy it last time cause you could exchange it with your old MT
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to get the alien frigate, all of us must work together to fill up the meter until tier 5 right?>
(assuming we have finished the quest)
Wrong
Those are optional
They affect the tier of the upgrades we receive from memory fragments
Finishing the main milestones and phases will complete the expedition and award the frigate
see the pins in here "mini-faq" about those optional milestones
in fact see the pins in here generally, full of good info
so i just used a teleporter and i started to fall into the void and i jwas about to cry until in teleported me up haha
...There's a void in this game?
game failsafe triggered
space is a pretty empty place
I was half-expecting the failsafe to be the dark souls way of just killing the player
Any recommendations for doing the freighter? I can never make it past about halfway without nearly dying and having to pull back
Also surprisingly, the game doesn't seem to care particularly about it being a specific freighter, as long as it is a freighter
emergency heaters
ion batteries <- dirt cheap, buy like 50
finally done
there are derelicts in other systems with only jellies, and you have portal glyphs
also bk I fixed the insane lag by some other obscure method
It's not so much the heat as the shooty enemies lol
π
am I right that you don't have to interact with anthing but the final terminal?
obscure? oh? mind sharing that dark magic?
afaik yes
mm log snippets or no?
By the way, anyone know if dying on a freighter counts as a death as far as the save goes?
same (though on an "easy" freighter, heh)
3 votes and 6 comments so far on Reddit
I would expect it's a reset as usual
Open the windows control panel -> system -> about -> advanced system settings (right of the window) -> advanced system settings (again) -> performance settings -> advanced -> adjust for best performance of : background services -> apply.
gotcha, thanks for the tip/feedback/ping
Are there different difficulties of freighter? o:
sure
those with just "jellies" (big green floating jellyfish) are considered the easiest
you can see them at quite a distance and a miing beam suffices to take them out
those with infestations ("bugs") are often considered the worst
Ah. Just found one with a 'horrific infestation' lol
Thought it was just turrets and jellies
yeahno π
god looking for a pirate system is a painnnnnnnnnnn. Anyone got one near the final anchor?
gosh im looking for one aswell
see pins and use one near starter system instead
I think there was one that was near the second?
bruh
mini-faq pin
Just portal or smth
Do the egg sacs burst eventually? Or are you fine to just leave them be?
if you move while too close to them or if you shoot them
if you stay still while you are close too them and they are highlighted you are ok
last resort: find a couple of crashed ship sites, interact with the distress beacon and pick the dialog option to learn tech, second one should be eco scanner.
cc @wet lotus , @hasty venture (and i'd ping you, but i know you're reading and know this already, apergos)
lmao
owie!
life support gell too
Honestly, I think that the bug freighter was one of the easier ones, compared to the angry defence system
he says, having avoided the side room branching off from the second major section because it was full of nests
Anyone got the location of a pirate system I cannot find one
Cedena just before the 4th anchor point.
see pins "mini-faq" in here for outlaw system among other things
fck that
I can get through a whole freighter of those if it's just those and turrets that give me some room to get around them
i can get through any freighter
depends how much time i wanna take XD
for polo i take a lot of time
if im jsut after upgrades
5mins tops
You get a ton of dust from freighters o:
I have all five expedition phases complete but the complete box is not checked what am I missing
What complete box?
If you look on your log it has five checks for the phases in a sixth check for completion even though I have everything like the frigate and stuff
did you collect all 5 phase rewards?
Ya
did you collect the living frigate?
Ya
finally
That's for when it converts, don't worry about it
105
Yeah I figured as much I even got it on my main I just was worried that it didn't have the sixth completion box check
nope, you claimed on another save, all good!
Cool ty
Fancy
holding them until they become S? or X perhaps??
82%. couple three days max then
settlement desrves what it gets for setting up shop in a pirate system, what were they thinking
dunno, we'll find out in a while
the real t-shirt was posted in the subreddit some days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/v25e8k/designed_myself_a_poster_i_can_hear/
what do the gek even say
they just stink
π΅ tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies π΅
Is it worth completing the expedition first, or is it better to wait and help out with the community missions beforehand?
Now we just need to merge them all together into some unholy abomination
if you complete it, then you can ..er... engage in riskier behavior in that save without so much concern
so I would say once you are near completion, go ahead and do that
then if you want to continue to hand stuff in to Polo, you may of course
you and your mods π
they dont help with combat
@remote thunder just thought id let you know that just beat the expedition! thanks for the tips haha
oh, they're not limited to the expedition saves?
they are
oh do you mean should you run the quicksilver weekend mission instead?
well
it's counted against the same tier
Nah, more the event stuff
if you want the quicksilver, go do that (too)
far out though I've never done a dirlect freighter cuz they scare the scrat from iceage outa me so that was not a very fun experience
get a living ship :3
oh quick question for all you older players
same. I still don't like them lol
the one at rdv 3 and 5 are easy
well really... I would say, do what you want in the end π
just turrets
I have one on my other save, just not this one ;p
im assuming that i lose this save after the expedition ends right?
i ws saying it as a joke XD
No, it converts to a survival save
i just got one to test my mods
oh really??!!!
hell yeah!
because i have actually bonded with the ship they gave me in the time since i started this 9 hours ago lmaooo
It's a pretty decent ship
This was my first permadeath experience on NMS so i think i did pretty well honestly
i wonder
you made it through? you did pretty well π
does optical drill actaully give you more somal dust?
then again, the second i got the minotaur i basically never left it, was terrified i was gonna commit leg shatter
that's called having a strategy that works
It's so slow, though
eh honestly its not that bad
Your batteries are going to run dry before you get anywhere fast
yeah its slower than Q + Jetpack
but its still faster than running
the boost is pretty op
for a 100 ton robot that is
dont think its 100 ton tho
i mean
Is it? I thought it was slower than walking
either way
its useful for permadeath imo
better to get somewhere slower than not get there at all
slow but alive. that's the goal
The right way, or the wrong way?
the wrong way
Did you get out?
the one that breaks all laws of physics
if you count reloading my save and loosing an exotic "getting out" than yes π
don't puls eto your freighter, you're asking for it
this is a longstanding bug, if you didn't know then it would have been hard to avoid
yeah
hah
so in the player editor how do you unlock the shroud of freedom mask? because i have it unlocked but i dont ever remember getting it
It's from the new quest Under The Rebel Star
The one where you visit an outlaw system and smuggle some items
ye
I somehow survived the expedition! Are we able to open up missions to unlock tech or do we need to wait for the save to convert?
wait until July 5 π
in the meantime get memory fragments, wait for the tier to go up and have a bunch of S upgrades for free π
Yaaasss thank you!
hey, can someone tell me the name of the planet with the storm crystals, on the expedition path?? I hear it's on the way, but I rather not have a head empty moment and pass it...
see pinned message 'mini-faq' in here
ah, the no spoilers?
there it is, thx
It occurs to me that this is basically NMS Moby Dick
Dunno what I'm doing wrong in Hot Pursuit. Every time I sell contraband, the counter stays at 0/500,000 π
what are you selling (how much)? are you selling for a profit? where are you selling?
and... just to check: multiplayer enabled or disabled?
Selling suspicious packages and geknip.
Multiplayer is enabled
geknip is legal
and I'm selling them at regular trader thingies
at a profit or a loss?
err... I bought them with tainted metals and selling them for units. Do I have to open them?
I didn't open them, though
go to an actual outlaw station
I did
buy stuff from the contraband person there that is actually listed as contraband
I did
well you bought with tainted metal, that's not the right place
you buy these with units
the contraband agent. sells like grahgrah nipnip and etc
I'll rush back. It's the only one I have to finish up on. thnx!
ok!!
Or just pirate a freighter in a pirate system
Nah, I'll spend some units π
Fair enough
Tbh I know they reduced outlaw station numners because of the busted nature of tech and weapon packets
But it's always kinda sucky to get only like 15 actual units of contraband at once
they did. it was rather OP
Remember, you can only contribute 20 clears per day, Marxon
I have no interest in grinding for myself, but grinding for the community? That I can get behind.
wait there's a limit?
Yep
I'M GONNA HIT IT
after 20 a day your submisions do not count towards progress
The game doesn't tell you that
Evil
Kinda sucky but also makes sense
I mean yeah
its so stupidly easy for me to inv edit in all the somnal dust I can hold
Otherwise afk somnal dust farming would have us already at X class memories
Speaking of I need to check if the X class buffs apply to al saves or just the expedition
from what I learned
the fragment
is a single item type, and its just changed dynamically class wise
Yeah
It just pops out different class upgrades depending on the milestones you've redeemed
you know what though
nothing is stopping me from dumping excess research mats onto other players if I don't have exactrly enough
That could be a cool thing to do
I already do that
like I have 239 sun
I dump it to someone else hoping they get enough for another redeem
Done! thanks!
Tbh if only the survival mode didn't have the inventory limits I'd wanna make this my main save
yeah but
the limits on research
no base npcs
its a bit funky
also yeah the whole inventory thing dividing the community in half is nutso
I'm a cobalt crasher usually, it sucks not having that for my income any more
cobalt crasher?
the expedition is meant in part I think to get players to explore diffferent ways to play than they usually do
yeah
different ways to make units or nanites, different tech they don't usually use, etc.
I use the supply and demand feature to sell cobalt then buy it all back for far less than I earned
But now I'm kinda just doing whatever
sounds like something you shouldn't say aloud lest they find out how to patch that
it's known for years.
fair nuff
They also did patch it
just like hg knows about dupers, and sav editors and all kinds of things. as long as one person isn't griefing another, it doesn't matter how they play really
Iirc it used to be viable with like 2k cobalt, but now you need 60k or something
they did make it require 8-9 stacks now, true
and now with reduced numbers of materials at space stations, it's even more time consuming
but if osmeon really wants to... π€·ββοΈ
I like when devs do that, nerf it but make it so those that are comfortable with the technique can still do it
I just died in the stupidest way
Built a structure around some whispering eggs, then got pushed out by a horror and got flung into the air
Pressed the escape button in panic and the fall killed me
sounds ab out right
All that progress gone π’
I literally managed to kill all 5 sentinel waves (by cheesing them but still)
Then I die to a quirk in physics
Now I have to do that all over again
Why do we need a new save in expeditions
wait slow down. built 4 walls around eggs, stood inside, shot eggs, got yeeted by a horror from in there?
Yep
dangit
Happened to me so many times.....just jetpack before the fall
they are absoutely not supposed to be able to do that whil you are inside a/your base structure
I just said though I pressed escape in panic
So I couldn't
what does escape do?
Or just be quick.....the moment they are away from egg take it and jet your way to top of the building π€
oh (I'm on console and don't know)
I usually do that....
if you have multiplayer disabled, it will pause the game but otherwise no
Not in multiplayer it doesnt
Because you had multiplayer enabled
I can't believe this, I have to do it all over again because of a glitch in physics
I'm so sad π’
Its not a glitch
Once you play DEAD SPACE....you will be sooo happy to even have a pause π€£
do you have any bases put down anywhere?
You are in a system with dozens of players
I thought it remembered the milestones
that will save you some time at least
You want that because you pressed pause the universe stops for all other players?
Only thing is I don't have storage
The majority of glitches happen in multiplayer
Yeah dw I died at the same spot
They can?
that's what the player just described
build 4 walls around eggs, get in, shoot, get yeeted from within there (pushed through wall)
at least that is how I understood it
d
Tbf tho, I wouldn't be as mad about the death if it at least kept the milestones
right
But now I need to do the more difficult ones all over again
I thought I read somewhere that the milestones were remembered
put base computers near everything useful
It is easier to recover after you die the second time
sentinel pillar. crashed freighter. abandoned building. everything
you didn't read it here, that's for dang sure
see pins "persistence after death"
I guess the good thing is I did make a base next to a pillar, a trade terminal with drop pod data, and yes an abandoned building
good!!
Ooof my bad then
I did none of those things
If anything I'm just kinda miffed that I have to redo the milestones again lol
Personally I recommend the paralysis mortar + minotaur escape
I died 3 hours into the expedition and ended up finishing it after 7 hours 26 mins in total
Are anomaly unlocks preserved at least? E.g. the med refiner I took 100 salvage to unlock?
if you placed it in a base, it's still there
the blueprint? I guess you don't still have it (check just to see but...)
I did, I'm just wondering if I can still build another
going to bet not
Appears my tool still has the terrain manipulator tool but it's damaged
you spawn in with it that way every time
About to find out if I have the blueprints too, as my ship respawned near my main base
I'm pretty sure I needed to install mine initially
Oh nvm I didn't actually, I saw the icon but forgot there was "16 hours" too
In fact it seems I've spawned in a spot with no plants lol
Oh nvm turns out I don't need any carbon, but what I do need is pure ferrite
Soo.... I still need carbon
you got this!
Anyone have any advice on how to farm storm crystals? I'm one system away from anchor world 4
Excited I may actually finish this! Im having so much fun π₯°
I'm excited to dive more into multiplayer once I finish this expedition
Use your minotaur
My what(
*?
I'm glad I asked because I was about to just randomly start looking..I need a certain itek(
Item*?
Your mech, the thing you recieved as a reward for making a base in an infected world
systems with storm crystals: see pinned messages "mini-faq"
Its not mandatory, but reccommended
Oh okay ty.
One se
Sec?
Just to make sure I'm doing the right thing?
The minotaur global?
Geo bay?
which milestones give which rewards, wiki page is up, you can see which milestone gives the minotaur: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Expedition_7:_Leviathan
Tyvm
Yes
Do I just install that on a planet or?
I actually never installed it because the wording on it confused me honestly
Just put it in a planet
Its like a build
No problem, and may Altas bless you
You as well traveler π₯°
Just got to my base and I see all my blueprints have reset
I had ground out the wazoo for a few of them π’
refiner still there?
Yeah it's still there
I just can't build another
And I'll also have to grind again to get to that level again and also for the electric generator
now you know: if you want a piece like that, put it everywhere or as many as you think you need.
Wish I knew sooner because I really didn't expect to die in such a stupid way
I finished the expedition, and after returning to my freighter, an S class ship had landed there. Good way to end it
I would've expected to get killed by sentinels or mobbed by horrors but nope, funky physics
nice!
well you sort of did die by horrors
I kind of did, but technically I died because I didn't jetpack
||now that the expedition is finished does that mean I don't have permadeath now.||
It did happen before with a wild animal where I got yeeted but I saved myself
||get phase 1 done. get memory loops for phase 2,3,4 done (skip everything else unless you need it). then do phase 5 all. then you are free, go back and do dangerous stuff like eggs||
I mean, I was already being super careful
note that you do not have to e.g. ||go to the portals on 2,3,4.||
it can just cut down on time to safety that way.
I mean are the eggs really that dangerous? I just sprayed the horrors and ran while jetpacking
It was working out for me at first but then I got pushed out and it caught me by surprise
it you re unlucky then yes
some of what happens is a matter of a bad roll.
same for memory loop locations too
I instinctively pressed esc thinking it would pause the game but I had forgotten I had mp enabled
oof
Is there a way to find again an anchor point without using coords?
Again I'm just... really sad that I have to do all the grinding all over again
after you've already been to the portal? I doubt it
well, monolith on the planet etc
if you didn't put a base computer anywhere near it even 5k u then no
I guess some player base(s) might be at one, there's that
I found to put a computer near any anchor point pretty impossible
that's why try to get 5ku away and see if you can place
so you're not travelling by ship 5 hours but only a few minutes
I was able to put a bc directly on anchor 3, no idea how. maybe ods out π
did not complain, put it, saved!
Can you teleport to a base without portal?
No. You have to use a teleporter

I mean if for instance, you're at a space station, and want to tp to your base, does your base need a powered teleporter?
no
a bare base computer is enough
I would not recommend a bare base computer on this expedition: put walls, a door and a roof!
(protection from the elements) but that's sifficient... except maybe in the case of extreme weather events
Sorry for asking just still kind of confused. The minotaur exomech says I needed 10 salvaged data so I farmed them, but when I go to the quick menu and try to summon it it says I don't own it? It's in my main inventory
don't summon, place the geobay on base. then summon and use
frankly then go anywhere on planet, summon and use
Oh it needs to be on my base? Gotcha
if you don't put it on your bse you won't find it again
Is there a better way to find an angy companion to adopt than just checking every planet and praying it has one
You can pick the geobay up again as soon as you put it back down
you could: place anywhere, pick back up
So putting a base comp down will let me summon it?
BUT I would recommend to put on a base so its' there in case of reset
once less thing to worry about
Time to feed polo his daily doses
Its still not letting me?
Ahh
after you build it, then it's in the quick menu
harvesting all this sun makes me feel like an environmental nightmareβ¦
You can drop geobays anywhere even without a base
Got it. Tyvm
Wish there were automated extractors for liquid sun
you can but then you need to remember to pick back up; you get materials which is less convenient to carry around too
I literally just used other players Minotaurs
I didn't find it that bad carrying around some plates and gold. Batteries I had on me anyway.
Help
I was trying to keep a low pirate profile: worthless cargo only. worked ok!
Just gotta find a storm now I guess π
And their other exocraft for storage π
Killing pirates was a great money/nanite maker for me in the expedition so I encouraged them to find me
Yeah, they donβt come after you if you have crappy goods
Also, they only scan the ship and not your suit π
I had a bad time with them on the first time through. could not kill them off fast enough. so second time through, not giving them a target worked out better
After some experimentation, the cap appears to be 50,000 units
I had AI valves in my suit once and got the worthless cargo notification
dunno: it was any one stack > 10k for me
Weird, they've totally come after me for stuff in my suit
I was kind of flabbergasted
(well any one item I should say)
I admit there was no science whatsoever in my experimenting
Iβm like βWTF, I have massive value here, attack meβ
so if I had three stacks of cond carbon that would be counted as one thing.
maybe in cargo vs general?
used the freighter a lot for offload/restock, was ok
could be that, could be a bug, who knows with this game
storage rooms ftw
Can I find storm crystals in any storm?
Disclaimer, that was ages ago and this may have been patched
freighters are a godsend
you can find them on any world that has them
Only storms on extreme planets
Only on certain planets
Gotcha
see pinned message "mini-faq" if you need location for the expedition
Ty
look for βextremeβ or check the pins π
apergos always faster and more concise, kek
Your wow is showing, lol
wrote that one pin mostly so I remember I put stuff like that in it π
FAQs are the best
need a pin to remind people to read the pins π
that's everyone's job in here π

THAT'S IT!!
Lol pins are very helpful tyvm
Guess I can just teleport back to where the storm crystals are just need fo find the system name
Are you looking for the anchor 1 system?
Yeah
hehe
lol
π
there's a pin with all system names, glyphs etc
handy to know and use for stuff like this
you can also go to #bot-spam and type !faq-expglyphs
That will give you the system info that's in the pins without you having to scroll for it
got a smaller size one of those too, probably nicer
(the image)
I was highly amused
Anchor 1 is Rowland, Anchor 2 is Cebrac iirc

Oh, yeah, sorry, first and second system
π
assuming your hyperdrive module RNG works out
well Soon (tm) people will get S of those so it will get much better
I did extra hops at the start to buy more exosuit slots anyway
And I got that pirate system on my 2nd jump which was the key to me getting +++ units and nanites out of the gate
I did extra hops for suit slots after anchor 1
I was amazed how many systems had been explored around there, obviously people have the same idea
Where is a good place to get the storm crystals? I can't find any extreme planets
I did that on my third loop because I didnβt get the hyperdrive module

π
Thanks lol
Mapan VIII doe π
What's the system name?
Cebrac
Awesome thanks
The pinz, they be here all ze veek
all 4 weeks!

Is there an easier way to find crashed freighters? Any time I buy distress beacon charts all I get is crashed ships or abandoned building.
Is there a quicksilver pin item?
pop a map. wrong type? don't go there.
pop next map. wrong type? don't go there either.
Well itβs hard to find navigational data as well so
also, you have to wait like 10 to 15 seconds between popping maps
there's only 5 types, you se e where this is going.
Nav data is plentiful
Where?
if you get 'location intereference' or whatever, just spam that map again
Click on glowing cubes in space stations
Almost every station has a couple NAV data, look at the glowing cubes and the round discs on the desks
There are always at least 3
go to every space station, yellow and blue cubes o both sides, at vendor desks AND in back room
I completely forgot about those lolβ¦
go to every space station and do this.
Some give nanites, but you'll always get some nav data too
Ok cool Iβll take a look
Don't forget to look in the back room
You get the occasional station has less than three
Cool cool
Look in the back room π
note that there are two crashed ship ones (distrss signal) types, this is ok
one is with npc, one without.
I got a station with no nanites no carbon and only one nav data
Itβs been like a year since Iβve played so Iβm still trying to remember where to get everything
just keep on
I always check both rooms
more nanites is more
Seriously, 40 to 70 at a time adds up
Def
Well, not in this mode
lmao
50,000 for paint
still adds up, you want to make that 2k so you get that milestone too
maybe Iβll feed Cronus and polo today
after doing this exped 3 times, I started a perma save and when I got to the anomaly, my brain melted at the prices
(I guess realistically you just sell off the unwanted memory fragments but still)
The nautilon radar is 10 nanites
Harvested over 150 salvage data and I only have a medium refiner and the first storage unit
kek
I went for the teleporter
I accidentally clicked on the storage unit
I harvested 140 salv data and all I got was this stupid well powered teleporter π
oof
50 data
I love that the weekend reward gives you 1200 quicksilver but only one data
like, fr
I looked at that in my perma save and then went... NOPE
donβt do it, itβs an aggressive Sentinel world with storms
Exactly
I mean, I did it on my expedition save, but only after
didn't even go
yesterday grounnd for that teleporter ro build a nice (?) uplodable base
today, just a few pics. that's it
Fought so many pirates now I have 25 suspicious technology modules though
Full stack
Time to make a sacrificial ship and hit the center
That save has already been a roller coaster. Spawned next to a cave (YAY), distress call mission was on an aggressive sentinel planet, pre-terrain manipulator (BOO), paradise planet in home system (YAY), holographic comm tower back on the aggressive sentinel planet (BOO). It's been spicy.
Now that I have my hyperdrive I do not hit the "find a thing" button in systems with aggro sentinel planets π
It will be weird to do the Artemis path in a late game state
Yeah, I've never done it with an expedition save
did that on a recent (expd 5 converted) save and it was... something else
I always delete them
