nms-expedition

[gilded tiger]

Put in refiner

[ashen shore]

I think you can use that to get some treasures from underwater ruins but Im not sure about that

Or maybe it was a part of some quest

[gilded tiger]

I feel like I've seen something crafted needing hypnotic eye too

Underwater treasure needs pearl no?

[jagged charm]

4% till s class

[static willow]

this tier is going painfully slow

thought we’d be a 2% by the rate over the last several days

[ashen shore]

Well, time to feed all the animals in the universe till they burst

And get those memories

[jagged charm]

pffrt

somal dust

i got an animal farm tho

with an autoo feed if you want

[ashen shore]

I did the dust recently, now I feel like doing something else

[jagged charm]

20 contrib is max tho

[ashen shore]

Like per day or?

[jagged charm]

per day yes

you still get mem fragments

but it doesnt "count"

[ashen shore]

Good to know, thanks

[jagged charm]

if you want a good derelict for exep

[hearty gate]

Unlocking them through the memories doesnt count as unlocking the recipe, does it

[jagged charm]

the one at RDV 4 give S class freighter mods

248m LY range

[static willow]

Is that RNG or guaranteed?

gonna have to do that

[jagged charm]

yes

the stats are static

but you get diff mods

[static willow]

Salvaged frigate module costs so ridiculous

[jagged charm]

the other freigher mods are maxed

so 15%

its not salaved frigate module

its the mods

this

[static willow]

Oh, I wasn’t even aware those existed, lol

So, not the stuff that you can buy through the upgrade menu?

[jagged charm]

nope

those you can get by pirating

nexus mission

and frigate missions

[static willow]

Ahhh, added in desolation

that’s why I love this game

Six years later, it keeps on giving

[indigo falcon]

repost from earlier: #nms-expedition message for folks in here now who will be around for awhile.

back to work things now! stay safe and break the loop, travellers!

[woeful ore]

@dense basin Do you have a good method to farm burried tech?

[fossil token]

So how you get these optional milestones done

[woeful ore]

I think you just wait - it's the community

[sly wyvern]

The community together completes them

[fossil token]

Hurry up community

[woeful ore]

I wonder if you have to contribute to each cycle alongside the community, or whether just passively waiting is enough

[jagged charm]

already did my contribs

[fossil token]

Is it just the three things you get for polo that make it up?

[sly wyvern]

Yeah, I agree. Gotta collect the 3 certain resources and turn them in to Polo, Ancestral Memories, Liquid Sun and the one from derelict freighters

[woeful ore]

Yes

Liquid sun looks easiest

[fossil token]

Alright I did those all already

[sly wyvern]

Also you don't have to contribute more than once IIRC, but I try to help as much as possible. Also I feel Ancestral Memories is easier if you sit in a group of fauna and feed them all, you can collect the Memories more than once per animal.

[pure elm]

Yesssss I just ground for a bunch of ancestral memories and one of the memory fragments gave me the personal refiner unit

[crisp bramble]

do those special mods you get stay after you die

[pure elm]

Special mods?

[crisp bramble]

idk what they are called in game

but i believe there’s some kind of mod that’s supposed to persist right?

[pure elm]

Hmm

That being said, I have a quick question: do sentinels auto aggro if you approach a sentinel pillar? I forgot if they do

[jagged charm]

no

[pure elm]

Ok cool

[ashen shore]

They don't, unless you are on a planet with aggressive Sentinels

[jagged charm]

you cna literally run up to terminal and shut them down XD

[pure elm]

I wanted to tp to the base that I built near a pillar so I could disable the sentinels and claim the milestone

Nice

Iirc the pillar in question was on the starting planet where the sentinels aren't aggressive but do perform regular patrols

[static willow]

Well, shit shit shit

I just found a goal breaking issue

If you don’t complete the Atlas path before core jumping, you cannot get back to it because Polo cannot help you find the station or a black hole

Expedition issues

I wanted to reach Eissentam

Core jumping technique won’t work now, going to have to use portals

[static willow]

Key technique for parts of this expedition when you “experience multiple loops”

[pure elm]

I mean, I was told yesterday that I should make bases at places such as sentinel pillars

[static willow]

Yeah, it’s a good strategy to make a base near any of the key goals

Do not upload them!

*unless they are functional for other players and there are already generally plenty of these

[pure elm]

Oh yeah can the pillars be reused later to disable the sentinels again or is it a one-time thing per pillar?

[remote thunder]

not even on an aggressive sentinel planet; case in point, anchor 4; no idea if that's unintended, i did uh.. have opposing thoughts about it but i'd like it to not be this way - they should all be in seek and destroy mode.. but, careful what you wish for

[remote thunder]

they can be reused

[pure elm]

Awesome

[devout pollen]

So I generally enjoy the expedition gameplay mechanic but Leviathan is hardly a “rogue-like”. It isn’t exactly challenging to complete it without dying (outside of the early stage milestone).

[barren creek]

What are good ways to get a lot of salvaged data? The costs are ludicrous and I need a medium refiner. (100 salvaged data.)

I suppose I could grab whatever is on a planet, but that would take a while and the planets tend to be quite harsh and often have sentinels...

[errant gull]

I decided to work my way around this and not buy the refiner, i just went around grabbing storm crystals off of extreme planets

[barren creek]

I don't see how that helps me. Farming nanites from tainted metal works best with a medium or large refiner.

[errant gull]

oh, sorry I thought you'd need it for the chlorine dupe

[static willow]

Everyone seems to have a different experience with this expedition

A bunch of people have quit and frustration after dying several times

It is also much easier now for ya’all starting with A class modules 😉

[hoary crow]

Wonder if they would bring back expeditions 1-6 back as micro transactions in the coming years, I know they have done a revisit of 1-5 semi recently, but I only started playing again during 6, 🤔

[static willow]

I know this might sound kind of backwards, but I’m so happy that HG has put out six years of continued content for free, it almost makes me want to pay them more.

Like, the dollar per hour value is ridiculous

And this expedition has been top

[wraith badge]

Complete the Artemis path then ... ||and when you get a choice choose the Green orb, which will take you to Eissentam||

[static willow]

I’m trying to do it in my expedition save… problems

I’ll spoiler this next one because it’s long but I’ll describe what happened

[wraith badge]

in that case you can only go the Portal route using the Glyphs pinned around here somewhere which will take you close to the core of any galaxy you're in

[static willow]

|| So, I completed the expedition, and I started on the atlas path, got all the way to the last station but I didn’t have the metal to build the orb, started doing other shit, got distracted, decided to jump to Hilbert, made it to Hilbert, but now when I come back to Euclid, there is no path for me to find the next atlas station, cannot interface with polo, I don’t think there is a single way for me to find a black hole.||

||I was hoping to use the core jumping technique||

[wraith badge]

Use this it'll take you one jump from a gateway system, the gateway system is the one you jump to the core from

[static willow]

Yeah, but that’s like eight extra hours finding a portal in each system

kek gek kek

[wraith badge]

buy a chart or 2 in station, land on planet use chart find monolith, answer correctly, use monolith again give it system race item go to Portal .... simplez

[static willow]

||Definitely should’ve finished that atlas mission before leaving the galaxy. (considering the expedition blocks Polo)||

Oh, I know how to do it

Do you know about the core jumping technique?

[wraith badge]

I've always just used Portals ... well since their use was allowed again

[static willow]

Yeah, I remember when everything was super restricted, was that next or Atlas rises or beyond, I can’t remember when they lifted it

Core jumping technique is where it’s at though

especially since you ||can’t go straight to Eissentam in an expedition game due to not having followed the Artemis path||

[supple radish]

So, I'm up to iteration 5, the ||derelict freighter||. How tough is that to do alone? I've only done it on a Nexus mission with two others and it was a handful then. Thanks.

[wraith badge]

doable solo ... but take your time

[static willow]

Check the pins, but advice is the derelict in anchor five is probably your best bet

[ashen shore]

Haven't realized that actually, thanks for correcting me

[supple radish]

Thanks all. Anchor 5 is where I am at.

[static willow]

Go slow

[hearty gate]

Whats the anchor point 2 planet name?

[supple radish]

"Go slow" meaning what exactly? Don't run? Don't risk health, always recharge?...

[hearty gate]

I struggle getting that marker tonload from orbit

[ashen shore]

!faq-expglyphs

Hello Gunter

[static willow]

[ashen shore]

!faq-expglyphs

[fringe agate]

Pinned here

[static willow]

Smack the bot!

[fringe agate]

Nope

Bot behaving

[ashen shore]

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@ashen shore Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[ashen shore]

Oh ffs now you respond

[ashen shore]

Alecapae Beta, you can find all names for planets / systems in a pinned message

[static willow]

Now you can smack the bot

[indigo falcon]

note about derelicts

you can do any derelict for the phase 5 one, just don't pulse until you get to the system where you want to do it

you have portal glyphs already from phase 2

there are known derelicts with only jellyfish, coordinates available.

you would pin some other mission (like general exploration), go to any portal (you have a base by one, right?), charge up, drop in the glyphs, get to the other side, select the mission, and off you go

[static willow]

Portal for a derelict? That’s dedication

[fringe agate]

Hell with that

Going right in

[indigo falcon]

feel free. people who are better at this than me can absolutely do that

[fringe agate]

Oh I'm terrible at combat

But I can escape very well

[static willow]

are there easier derelicts than the one in anchor five?

[indigo falcon]

yes

there are derelicts with only jellyfish

[static willow]

But that thing was basically a cakewalk

hmmmm

I was honestly more scared of falling off of the steep hills at the gravesites

[indigo falcon]

it would not have been for me, I would likely have taken too much damage from the drones when trying to take them out

even allowing for hiding near doorframes and such

[static willow]

oh, yeah I guess that your FPS experience and combat skill comes into play

[indigo falcon]

but again if it works for you, do that one, there's no bugs

what fps experience....

[static willow]

I tend to be really good at the combat in this game

but I also died seven times during the expedition to other stuff so… ymmv

[indigo falcon]

anyways for people who want a safe option, there is one; for people who have normal gaming skills, it may not be needed at all

hmm I died once by mistake but I also took a very long time. did not engage any pirates. etc.

[fringe agate]

I'm gonna run about like a crazy fool, after I die really quick at the start

[static willow]

really good for anybody playing with an adaptive controller or who is playing with disabilities.

[fringe agate]

Melee boosting without a care

Weeeeeee

[static willow]

I would hate to see people not able to make it through this because of lack of responsive combat skills

[indigo falcon]

gotta hear your report at the end how it went 😄

[static willow]

Honestly, I’m kind of tempted to restart an expedition save and try for a massive speedrun

[fringe agate]

Oh hell, I need to open a log channel for people

[static willow]

But I also want to make it to Eissentam

[indigo falcon]

there are safe ways to do all of it I think.there's the prng factor of whether you get hit with an extreme wind event on anchor 4 while doing anything, but that might be it

Gleam, you brought back the emergence thing and never renamed nor annoucned it

[static willow]

Hey @indigo falcon, do you upload your discoveries? Thought I would’ve seen your name on some systems, but I have like half a dozen of Brendel, kek

[indigo falcon]

I doubt I was a discoverer of anything on the route

and I've forgotten to upload anything regardless on eht expedition 😄

[static willow]

I doubt your doubt

[indigo falcon]

I didn't start on day 1, I was maybe day 3 or so

(work)

[static willow]

I am certain you made some first contacts

Gut feeling doe

[indigo falcon]

I'll check the list later, don't think so though

[static willow]

well, I hope this for you!

[indigo falcon]

by day 3 unless you wander off the beaten path a bit you're not going to find much

heh thank you

[static willow]

I found like three within a couple hundred light years of the starter systems

But I installed the drives and looked around a bunch

[indigo falcon]

yeah I didn't

I was trying to just get things done

[static willow]

I’ve hit 171 systems in my expedition save so far

[indigo falcon]

now exobiology (is that the one?) we were encouraged to go wander around so I did

daaaaang

yeah I might have like um

17? or something

[static willow]

I already broke the atlas path

[indigo falcon]

😄

[static willow]

17?!

[indigo falcon]

well

[static willow]

[indigo falcon]

I went to the obligatory ones and the stations in between to get there

[static willow]

A few hours ago I ground out enough data to get the antimatter reactor

[indigo falcon]

found a pirate system en route, took care of that

[static willow]

Set it up on my anchor base in Hilbert

[indigo falcon]

added one other system for a nice multitool, that was about it

[static willow]

Not sure how many people are pushing the bounds of the expedition saves

oh, I visited six different systems looking for ships through portals, three different ones to grab multi tools. Popped into a few friends systems by portal

So sick of charging portals right now

[indigo falcon]

my data grind was for a teleporter to make the one base decent enough to upload for others

[static willow]

That’s why I was hoping to use the core jump technique to get to Eissentam

[indigo falcon]

ooohhhh

[static willow]

Commendable

[indigo falcon]

well spam portal 1 12 times or use the standard gateway address

[static willow]

I’ve harvested over 400 data now

[indigo falcon]

oh. eissentam

nm

[static willow]

Really gives me new respect for the process

[indigo falcon]

um. any of the featureds at the Anomaly in eissentam?

[static willow]

I know a lot of people hate the costs, but I am up for the additional challenge

i’ll let you know when I get there 😉

[indigo falcon]

😄

[static willow]

Did you die yet?

[indigo falcon]

I think Gleam's doing the run tomorrow

[static willow]

nice

hey, do you know why people sometimes take damage at space stations? @indigo falcon

I didn’t really believe it until a buddy showed me a clip, he was sitting in his ship at a space station and it took damage

[fringe agate]

Tomorrow like apergos said

I will die the amount required, no more

[static willow]

Don’t be an 8 looper like myself 😉

[fringe agate]

lol

[indigo falcon]

the only thing I can guess is that it is yet another side effect of the multiplayer being enabled

[static willow]

likely

[indigo falcon]

have your friend report it to hg with the clip, settings, all that

I've seen several similar reports

[static willow]

You could definitely hear starship cannon fire in the background

errant battle lasers

[fringe agate]

Future iterations being attacked, pain travels the timeline

[static willow]

anomaly strength issues

[indigo falcon]

darn it, you're playing too well. we can kill you another way. ha!

[fringe agate]

Lol

[static willow]

Seriously, I remember when you were safe in your starship parked on a planet

Nope

Not now

[foggy cloak]

Never feel safe, just like in subnautica

[static willow]

Yeah, I’ve learned to never think that I am “safe”

Save early, save often

[indigo falcon]

on a t1 conflict world, sitting in your ship, you are safe enough but I would not afk ever

I mean that just goes without saying

[static willow]

I think during atlas rises, next, and beyond, you were basically safe in your starship anywhere

Not sure when they introduced the additional mechanisms

[indigo falcon]

the "pirates attack you on the planet" thing, in Outlaws

[static willow]

Gotcha

[indigo falcon]

if we get a mod platform forconsoles one day I will absoutely turn that crap off

[static willow]

haha

but the realism

[crisp bramble]

mode platform?

[indigo falcon]

lololol nms. realism. you were saying?

mode = mod with a typo. I'm (in)famous for my typos.

[static willow]

Headed to calypso, wish me luck

[indigo falcon]

good luck! enjoy!

[crisp bramble]

what do you mean mod platform

[barren creek]

and I suppose you can't blame it on autocorrect?

[static willow]

Oh shit, almost forgot to change my multitool

[foggy cloak]

you know, to be able to download mods on consoles, like in other games like Skyrim and Fallout 4

[crisp bramble]

ah ok
thing is even pc nms doesnt have official mod support like those games

so i doubt that’ll happen

[foggy cloak]

no, but you can download mods on pc free of choice, us consoles cant do that

[indigo falcon]

oh I could! but that would be a lie 😄

[crisp bramble]

well yeah but for consoles to have a mod platform, there would have to be plans to make official support for mods and that doesnt seem like what hg is going for rn

[static willow]

install the modes

[indigo falcon]

yes, the desired feature would be some minimal but official mod support across platform

[crisp bramble]

yeah

also would help for mod conflicts and such

[static willow]

remember how hokey the cartographer interface used to be to get planetary charts?

I think we’re in the third or fourth iteration of improvement there

[indigo falcon]

now if only they would fix settlement charts *&^%$#@

[marsh haven]

are... are we pretending it isn't hokey?

[indigo falcon]

anyways... back to irl work, see folks later!

[static willow]

Remember when you had to pay for a random chart just to try to get the one you wanted?

And you could only purchase one chart per interaction with the cartographer

that was a real PITA

[marsh haven]

i mean, charts are a thing. but between the signal booster being useless... discoveries having no way to pin / revisit "found" points of intererest - the gap between where charts should be and where they are, is waay larger than where they are, and where they were.

[static willow]

Agreed

It’s always been frustrating to me that I couldn’t “favorite “something in discoveries

This expedition underscores the need to have favorites in your teleport list also

[marsh haven]

imagine if multi-tools could just scan a poi and make a chart that you could keep?

[static willow]

I have over 100 bases in the list at the first anchor system

Lol

[static willow]

Wicked

[marsh haven]

imagine if the signal booster could hold "Active" charts and show a map of the planet with pois as an overlay...

imagine if activating a chart didn't destroy it. and active charts were a thing. and MT and signal boosters has inventories for active charts so you could just carry around sets of points of interest to revist.

and you could link active charts to base teleporters, so you could build doors in your base to specific locations.

[static willow]

all great ideas!

[marsh haven]

i would like my frigate missions to come back with charts to all the places they visited - while the systems shouldnt be explored, I feel the side effect of sending frigate missions out, should be, if you visit the systems your fleets visited, each interaction they did should expose a POI in that system.

[fossil token]

Anyone else see this really cool building someone made by rendezvous 5?

[marsh haven]

thats the sort of shit that makes my xbox crash if I fly near it. nevermind look at it

[fossil token]

Sadge

[magic elbow]

so.. about the currebt expedition >.>

I happened to get the mission for finding a freighter crash sight by chance while lookin for other shit, then later died

I dun auto-complete the mission when I try again do I?

I know there's a few that get autocompleted, but I assume this one doesnt

also if iI do eventually do all 7 or 5 or however many "iteration"s there are, that's the end of the expedition riiight~?

also, if I dwliever any of the shit I need to, to Polo, that counts as a shared memory thingy right~? so I wouldn't have to redo it right

[minor breach]

Yeah

[minor breach]

No freighter doesn’t I don’t think(was never able to find one on the first death though so can’t be sure

[magic elbow]

gotcha, thx

[open harness]

are we up to S class modules yet? :0

[indigo falcon]

nope. 98% done. try again in a few hours

[fringe agate]

😉

[magic elbow]

what does all this mean, an I dumm?

[topaz brook]

How much easier is the expedition now, with the upgraded modules?

[indigo falcon]

the community contributions (gifts to Polo, quicksilver missions at the Nexus) progress the "optional" milestones. we're near the end of the third one being complete; when it is, new memory upgrades will be eS and people who start a new expd save will get S multitool and ship.

[topaz brook]

Kinda wanting to make another expedition save when it hits S just to try it out

[indigo falcon]

you can give the command !tier in the #bot-spam channel in a couple hours to check (progress needle moves very slow)

[magic elbow]

oh I seeeee...

so by playing the expedition rn I'm missing out on stuff but theoreticslly helping out others~?

it'll probs be 100% by the time i get home to play tho

[indigo falcon]

not sure you're missing out, if you already completed it

[magic elbow]

I didnt x3 I'm p new toto the game so ive died a few too many times trying it out so far, but I'm slowly learning igto

[indigo falcon]

oh I get it

if you are making deliveries to Polo of stuffs then you are helping the progress bar

but that's an optional thing beyond the 5 times you should do

[magic elbow]

gotcha

[indigo falcon]

play how you enjoy!

[magic elbow]

I just wanna finish all the expedition missions, then start a proper normal mode file and get bored and goI back to no-life-ing league n valorant 🤡

[fossil token]

Used a sentinel pillar map and there was just nothing there lol

[hearty gate]

Ive done this whole D.F im fairly certain and havent seen the whistle yet

[indigo falcon]

final terminal

there's three: crew, captain, engineering. you want the third

[hearty gate]

I did the third

[indigo falcon]

did you uh... have the mission pinned?

[lofty blade]

<@&590975379678953522>

[indigo falcon]

did the crew log say they'd ||been eaten 16 minutes ago|| or something like that?

[indigo falcon]

p.s. you already have it, a mod was nice 😄

[hearty gate]

I did pin it

[lofty blade]

oh

LMAO

my bad

[magic elbow]

hot, cant wait to get there eventually x3

[indigo falcon]

no, you're good, that's what people are supposed to do. screen, then ping

[hearty gate]

Or wait is the flute from anchor 5?

[indigo falcon]

anchor 5

[hearty gate]

Ahhhh

[lofty blade]

:) thanks mod

[indigo falcon]

or really: any derelict you run for the phase 5 mission at that point

ANY.

[lofty blade]

time to finally go and claim it in main save

[hearty gate]

Do i need to be AT that point?

Crap did i just screw up by doing it on iteration 3?

[indigo falcon]

you need to have the phase 5 mission pinned

you cn run literally any derelict as long as that mission is pinned

[magic elbow]

wait can you do expeditions on normal saves? :doubt:

[indigo falcon]

||A shattered past||

[hearty gate]

That means ill have to find the derelict freighter again though

This is the first ive ever found and thats with an item that summons one lol

[indigo falcon]

when you get to phase 5 and that speciic mission,

and yo upulse, one will appear

this derelict is just a loot one, go turn in dust to polo, get another receiver

do as many times as you like

[indigo falcon]

no, you can claim rewards on any save though

[hearty gate]

Oh, well ive done all terminals and dont have the milestone yet?

[indigo falcon]

ok lemme stop and ask

[hearty gate]

Oh god im stupid

[indigo falcon]

what milestone are you looking at

[hearty gate]

Fallen giants

[indigo falcon]

NOPE

[hearty gate]

Im just stupid and wasted my time

[indigo falcon]

you just did a derelict for Polo, this is nice, and you'll get memory fragments, and another receiver

and you helped community progress, all good things

however this is not a crashed freighter on the planet 😄

[hearty gate]

Hopefully i do get another receiver otherwise im SOL lol

[indigo falcon]

you do, first off

every time you give somnal dust you get another receiver

so if you collected, I dunno, 300 somnal, that's 3 turn-ins, three erbs

and second...

you do NOT need a receiver for the phase 5 milestone unless you screw it up and leave and need to rerun it IN THAT PHASE.

you are good to go in other words.

[slender harness]

I don't think you really need a receiver if you're lucky either. Just need to find an abandoned freighter

The game doesn't seem that specific about which one

[indigo falcon]

no, you can't naturally find derelicts to run

but for phase 5 your first attempt, pulsing once the mission is pinned, that will be a space encounter

[slender harness]

Can you not? I kept seeing the derelict missions pop up when pulsing

[hearty gate]

Oh whoa i already got 2 with all this somnal

[slender harness]

Even without the phase 5 part

[indigo falcon]

multiplayer maybe, but typically no

[hearty gate]

So i can just get rich doing this

[indigo falcon]

someone else likely called it in

[slender harness]

That explains it, since I was running multiplayer at the time

[indigo falcon]

well, yes. might be a bit slow but yeah

back to work, have fun storming the castle!

[fringe agate]

Classic

[magic elbow]

from esc -> Expedition? is thst menu even available on a non-expeditiin file

[fringe agate]

You claim at the QS bot on the Anomaly

[magic elbow]

wat..

[ashen shore]

All main rewards of the expeditions can be redeemed on any other save

That is the point of expedition, completing challenges in order to unlock these cool rewards

To use on any save you want, past and future

[magic elbow]

oh I c

so expeditionI rewards are permanent cross-save

kewl

[crisp bramble]

can you redeem them on multiple saves or just one each?

[foggy cloak]

On as many saves as you want

[crisp bramble]

nice

[heavy hedge]

Did we complete Tier 3 of the Loop Progression?

[tired pebble]

That’s the first thing I did logged into my main save and claimed the grit

Frigate

[abstract bloom]

Not yet 99%

[topaz brook]

hmm, tier 4 upgrades them to X class

that seems like a downgrade

[ashen shore]

Maybe HG made a change that rules out the low % values

And keeps it random at A to S+ values?

Guess we'll see

But till then I assume most folks interested in the expedition will be already done with it

[tired pebble]

Yeah I finished the expedition just after the 1st on completed.

And have zero plans going back lol

IMHO it was the most exciting expedition I played.

[ashen shore]

Agreed

As a normal only player, I was happy to find a right balance

Between "yeah I can do that in permadeath" and "oh shit oh fuck" moments

[tired pebble]

Lol yep

This expedition thought us how to reload a game soooo fast

[ashen shore]

I got the sticker to my collection, Im a happy Traveller

Oh and the living frigate, yeah

[tired pebble]

Stupid phone

Yeah I’ve done all the expeditions so far not missed a one and only 3 were for rewards. The normady, the quad pet and this frigate

[abstract bloom]

I also have a love hate relationship with this expedition. I love that I am being pushed to play a different mode and style than I normally do. That is what I love about these expeditions. I am enjoying the wild ride and can't wait until I am done to go back to a chill save at the same time lol

[obtuse mirage]

What galaxy is the expedition in

[ashen shore]

Euclid

[obtuse mirage]

Thanks

[tired pebble]

I have read though. That after this expedition permadeath is so much easier

[topaz brook]

this expedition is definitely different

[abstract bloom]

At first I told myself I am going to go to a normal save right after, but I will wait until I die. That will be a good time to go to a normal save lol

[topaz brook]

once the expedition is over, i'll probably head to the core for the achievement

[ashen shore]

Note that it will reward only the survival mode achievement for reaching the core

Not permadeath one

Since the difficulty is technically survival with save mechanics of permadeath

[abstract bloom]

There are some things that are just annoying about the expedition like how little your stacks can be and how much damage you take tripping over a rock. I like that it forces me to take my minotaur everywhere though, and once I started doing that I started liking it.

[magic elbow]

permadeath only achievs sound fine
but normal/survival only? why can't I do em on permadeath wtf

oh wait I missunderstood

so expedition rn = survival + permadeath(-ish)

?

[fringe agate]

Yeah

[heavy hedge]

X-class has a higher range of stats, so they can be as good as C-class or better than S-class. So you just get tons of upgrades and only keep the really good ones

[topaz brook]

I'd much prefer the consistency of S

[ashen shore]

The only X class gamble I take part in is the hazard upgrades

[topaz brook]

yeah

[ashen shore]

Since they can save some exosuit slots

[heavy hedge]

I'll probably just farm X-class modules. It's so easy to get modules from Polo

[ashen shore]

And the Sentinel upgrades for shields / life support

[topaz brook]

and that's just because there aren't any S hazard upgrades

[ashen shore]

That but also I prefer to have a % reduction of damage

Instead of having to refill a timer

[topaz brook]

unless the X classes given by the loop memories are adjusted upwards to be at least on par with S classes on average, the change will be a downgrade in my mind

[calm flax]

What I've found out by starting permadeath saves and playing them a couple of hours and deleting them is that I would suggest starting an actual permadeath save and playing it for a while and seeing for yourself.

[heavy hedge]

I would like for there to be a mode harder than permadeath. Permadeath becomes just as trivial as other modes after you fix your modules in the start

[calm flax]

Want a mode harder than permadeath? Go somewhere like Calypso and start your permadeath saves on extreme planets instead of the normal planets permadeath saves start on.

[indigo falcon]

there might be mods to help make it tougher

[calm flax]

I watched a person starting their permadeath save on an extreme planet in Calypso and it was a few hours before they even could make it to their ship

[heavy hedge]

Are module/research costs usually 10x higher in permadeath or is that just the expedition?

[hasty venture]

okay so when you send the living frigate on an expedition it shows up as normandy. Oof.

[ashen shore]

Just expedition

[ashen shore]

Always worth to spend 5 minutes to fill a bug report to bring attention to it to HG

donezo

[heavy hedge]

Tier 3 done wooooooo

[ashen shore]

🥳

[hoary rover]

[magic elbow]

woooh

[supple radish]

I almost gave up on the expedition yesterday, then got through Iteration 4 anchor point, had a big storm there and picked up 5 storm crystals, then went to an airless planet and got 10 eggs / cores. I think my biggest obstacle left is the frigate?

[magic elbow]

so if I already have an expedition save, but i just died, do I get S rank upgrades now~?

[indigo falcon]

S ship and mt on the respawn

[topaz brook]

wait

if we get to tier 4, will people spawn with X class ships/multitools??

[magic elbow]

noice

[indigo falcon]

we're all wondering that very thing

[obtuse mirage]

Honestly if you have 50 ion batteries it’s a breeze

[indigo falcon]

well there are the extreme weather events to concern you

ion batteries don't do much about those.

[supple radish]

I've got enough exosuit upgrades now, I can wander in extreme weather and not die in ten seconds, so hopefully I'll be ok.

[supple radish]

I'll get 80 ion batteries then. :)

[indigo falcon]

(sweet summer child)

anywas derelict won't have those

a bit of cold protection, a decent weapon and some caution, you'll be ok

[obtuse mirage]

I did it with 50 but I had about 30 spare but better to be over prepared

[magic elbow]

is there any reason youit get the weird square-ish ship w/ the hexagonal grid-likeyelliowy glowy wings n shit? is that forced or can you get a different class to start w/?

[ashen shore]

I think all players start with a solar ship

[magic elbow]

I c

[ashen shore]

(in the expedition)

[obtuse mirage]

No clue why that one

[ashen shore]

But once you get enough units (money) you should be able to buy any other ship you want

[magic elbow]

yeah I figured

[obtuse mirage]

Maybe because it recharges and you will be landing and taking of a lot

[magic elbow]

not rly worth an expedition save tho

[indigo falcon]

showcasing a recent addition to content

[ashen shore]

Or maybe since solars are kinda new to the game, HG wanted to showcase them to players who come back for the expedition

[indigo falcon]

aaaand that's a jinx 😛

[obtuse mirage]

I just kept using mine because I put al the upgrades into it

[magic elbow]

yeah showcase, fit for the necessities of the expedition, makes sense

[supple radish]

What are the weapons of choice ( for derelict freighter)? Thanks

[heavy hedge]

Whatever you're spec'd in to is fine

[topaz brook]

The best weapon is caution

[indigo falcon]

I would recommend having one weapon on the mt that takes regular ammo, and some ferrite dust so you can craft more. other than that, use what you have

(if your memory frag weapon takes something else, consider adding a boltcaster and a couple upgrades)

[cerulean olive]

lol, finished the expedition in 12 hours. I'm up to another 6 hours grinding stuff for Polo. I think I have enough to last several days contributing.

[supple radish]

Thanks all. Now that I've gotten this far, I'm getting nervous. Thanks for the advice.

[heavy hedge]

You'll do fine. Take it easy and carefully check your surroundings :^)

[fossil token]

Huzzah community finished 3rd loop

[indigo falcon]

they did

back later..

[hearty gate]

Ohh baby memory 4 too some freaking effort

It was on top of a stupid mountain taller than minotaur could do- and then i kept getting spotted by sentinels, and ran out of launch fuel and di-hydrogen before i could even leave

[supple radish]

The sentinels didn't bother me. Must have gotten lucky

[hearty gate]

They wouldnt let me roam the planet at all

[supple radish]

That's what I was expecting

So once I was through that, it gave me new hope for this expedition. I never hunted storm crystals or whispering eggs until yesterday, and I completed that. Now I am hopeful (so I'll probably get crushed)

[torn peak]

How do you know if a planet has extreme weather?

[ashen shore]

Activated metal as one of the resources listed on planet card after scanning

[torn peak]

Activated metal is exclusive to extreme weather planets?

[ashen shore]

Honestly not sure

[hidden mesa]

Commonly extreme weather or extreme hazards planets

[torn peak]

Ok, also which type of stars do those kind of planets normally orbit?

[ashen shore]

You can find them in all systems

[magic elbow]

wait you actually have to think about that

[torn peak]

Though is it more common in some stars?

[fossil token]

No, they just each have a different metal. Go to your catalog and select and activated metal and open the galaxy map and it'll find something for you

Or just follow the expedition. There's a planet in one of the rendezvous systems that has it

[torn peak]

Do you know which one

[fossil token]

4th maybe

[indigo falcon]

people looking for storm crystals, check the pins, "mini-faq" one gives info for a place to get them

[remote thunder]

^

[supple radish]

I think I got mine on Anchor Point 4 planet. Was sitting in my ship after anchor point and memory, and saw some glowing out in the storm

[indigo falcon]

that works too

lotta people go there, get the memory and portal, and gtfo (like me, heh)

[smoky meadow]

Anchor Point 4 is asking for death, has everything you dont want to see on a planet

[dusty pecan]

Anchor 4 planet has them but it allso has extreme sentinel+weather+terrain so not something to recommend for most people

[supple radish]

Fair enough. The sentinels must have been sleeping last night when I was there. They did not bother me.

[indigo falcon]

someone in your instance might have disabled them 🙂

[supple radish]

Oh that could be. I just figured they are afraid of me. :)

[pure elm]

Hey I think I'm gonna go do anchor 2, any tips on that?

I've also built a base on an infested planet and I haven't taken it down, if I die will I get the respective milestone again or will I need to build another base?

[random berry]

best way to farm frigate modules for this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

tip: put a base near-ish to the portal (even if 5ku away, who cares)

also see portal coords in here, pinned message.

and of course when you get to the grave, have ship near you, be ready to run to it. that's all really

have fun!

oh and DON'T UPLOAD all your minibases

[pure elm]

Thanks! Yeah I figured after the first one lol

[indigo falcon]

upload nothing unless you think other players can find it useful (has teleporter, or nipnip, or etc)

that's really all now 🙂

[pure elm]

I do have ||several shield + health upgrades but I'm always scared of the horrors lol||

Thanks!

[indigo falcon]

see "persistence after death" post in the pins

[fringe agate]

[pure elm]

Thanks, the pin doesn't really seem to answer my question though or maybe I'm not seeing it

[indigo falcon]

really want to rename this channel "nms-expeditions-read-the-pins" 😛

[pure elm]

Is it just the partners in time milestone explicitly that persists?

[indigo falcon]

your base remains

[pure elm]

It's why I asked about the infested planet base milestone

Because the base remains but I don't know if it'll award me the milestone automatically for it

[indigo falcon]

therefore when you visit it or any of them on an anchor point

(you are putting one at ech anchor point world right?)
you wil l get it.

[pure elm]

So I'll get the milestone then, got it thanks 👍

I put one on the first anchor world after having already cleared it lol

[indigo falcon]

I'll go edit the pin to be more explicit

[woeful niche]

Question about the derelict freighter. How do you find an "easy" one?

[indigo falcon]

check the subreddit

or just ask me 😛

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/v1k85r/fyi_you_can_do_the_phase_5_expedition_7_derelict/

make sure you do not have the milestone (phase 5 ||a shattered past|| pinned

get to a portal without pulsing

or have some other milestone for the expd you can pin instead

get anyways to a portal, charge, put in the glyphs, go through, set the phase 5 milestone, pulse...

and enjoy!

make sure you have 1 good cold protection, plus some batteries and you should be fine

you good?

[ashen turret]

Or you could just wait 'til later and only do 1 for the entire expedition instead of 2 of them

[indigo falcon]

this is later.

(talked with player in dm)

[barren creek]

Besides the starter system, where can hostile creatures be found?

Oh wait, my freighter is in the starter system nvm

[indigo falcon]

good because I don't know of any others 😛

[static willow]

Just popped into my expedition save and a bunch of the milestones popped. … again

Oh, it was the community one! And “completion” again, lol

That happened faster than expected

[barren creek]

Which planetary chart do I want for a freighter crash site?

[foggy cloak]

distress signals

[barren creek]

So, emergency cartographic data?

[foggy cloak]

eh, just select the one with a red icon top right

[barren creek]

emergency then

[obtuse mirage]

Yea that one

You can get abandoned buildings as well tho

[barren creek]

yeah I think that's what I got

[indigo falcon]

there are 5 types. get 5 maps, don't go to the "wrong" locations

[obtuse mirage]

So it take a couple I would just buy 5 at a time and spam them till i get it

[indigo falcon]

wait 1--15 seconds between each map

if a map refuses to give anything ("location interference") wait 10-15 sec and spam it again

[barren creek]

Well, I need more navigation data first

[indigo falcon]

eventually you will get the crashed freighter

yellow and blue cubes at space stations, check both sides, all the tables, vendor desks, back rooms. you'll find it

[barren creek]

oh right

[pure elm]

Okay think I'm done for today again

Did anchor number 2, I can see now why I had to run lol

[barren creek]

yea lol

[pure elm]

Just need to find a crashed freighter and then iter 2 is done

[barren creek]

man, an s rank fighter plopped into my station and I don't have the units...

[umbral forum]

You can AFK farm dust and sell it for units.

[hearty gate]

Well hey i did it

[barren creek]

yeah, but s ranks are still rare

[hearty gate]

Literally not hard at all and contraband was silly easy too

Actually even the killing a walker for the brain for the scanner wasnt bad

Ill still probably switch to a normal survival save though

[foggy cloak]

it will

[pure elm]

I agree. It's so easy to cheese the sentinels lol

My heart was racing the entire time still, but I did it

Then I later died by getting yeeted into the air xD

[foggy cloak]

yeah, I always like taking down the walker

Always go on top of it and hit the brain easily

like poking a fork in jelly

[pure elm]

I wish there would be a way to replay this expedition later. I find it kind of fun when I get memory fragments

[foggy cloak]

you know you can start a new exp save right?

that's some replayability

[pure elm]

I know. I meant after the exp is done

[foggy cloak]

it wouldn't make sense based on the story

but you ca go back to those planets

[pure elm]

I mean, I haven't been much in it for the story lol

The lore is interesting tho

[topaz brook]

the memory fragments stuff is interesting for sure

[pure elm]

Just feeling a bit sad about the idea that I won't be able to get memory fragments again once the expedition concludes

Although the high nanite and salvaged data costs are a bit hard lol

[foggy cloak]

you can get them again, just craft them

[crystal iris]

Easy question.
Is there a way to cancel a landing?
Lol
I always hit the button accidentally and either land at the wrong time or get the message stating can't land here.

[barren creek]

What kind of replayability?

[pure elm]

Oh they can be crafted in other saves after?

[foggy cloak]

no

[topaz brook]

the recipe will remain after the expedition finishes?

[foggy cloak]

no, only the exp save

[pure elm]

Hmm

[foggy cloak]

yeah

[crystal iris]

Figured... But had to ask.
Ever happened to anyone else??

[topaz brook]

neat

[foggy cloak]

yeah

[hearty gate]

I want a normal paced, survival, start in BFE, not 10x salvage data/nanite cost save

[foggy cloak]

and you may get the not 10x cost, but the others are not guaranteed

[hearty gate]

Plus i made a heck of a mess of my modifications

[barren creek]

Man, why are these cargo pods always stuffed with radiation?

[magic elbow]

aight im home

[indigo falcon]

to make you run away fast or suffer 😛

[magic elbow]

time to fire up expedition again

hope i actually finish the first iteration atleast this time

[topaz brook]

well, you've got S class memories now

should help considerably

[indigo falcon]

S class everything

[magic elbow]

yeah i heard

can't wait x3

[pure elm]

They're normally like that

[indigo falcon]

enjoy your S solar! 🙂

[pure elm]

If you mean the crashed freighter that is

[foggy cloak]

because vaults from Fallout, that's why

[pure elm]

They'll always spew radiation in your face when opened

[random berry]

whats the best way to farm frigate modules?

[pure elm]

...Even on planets that are already radioactive

As in you'll actually get 2 radiation bars, the last time I checked anyway

[foggy cloak]

frigate expeditions and raiding freighters

[dusty pecan]

Derelict freighters in a good system are propably fastest

[random berry]

im getting tired of not having the teleporter thing

but thats a lot of modules

[foggy cloak]

yeah, but that depends on VERY good luck

[random berry]

i managed to get 3 from a crashed freighter

but that still leaves like 77

[foggy cloak]

yeah, pre outlaws it was easy

[indigo falcon]

I had to dig up 140 salv dta to set up a teleporter with proper power, ugh. did it though

[dusty pecan]

Yeah on my current non expedition save I just pirated freighters in outlaw system for both good money and decent rate of the modules

not as fast as getting glyph cordinates for a good derelict but surely more fun

[magic elbow]

pain my starting ship is waaaaay off bruhh

[obtuse mirage]

Get the sodium and run

Probably some oxygen to

[magic elbow]

aaaaand im dead, nice

yeah oxygen fckd me over

[obtuse mirage]

O well there a objective to die anyways

[magic elbow]

yeah i got 3 of the optional missions already by just dying

i have 11 loop resets iirc

💀

[obtuse mirage]

11

Wow

[magic elbow]

anyway yeah i spent way too much time mining dihydro instead of running the fuck away

[obtuse mirage]

Yea the first planet sucks

[magic elbow]

😔

[obtuse mirage]

Just leg it for your ship there’s stuff in there to help survive

[terse dust]

Yeah just gun it to the ship. Great place to hide and recharge exosuit protection

[magic elbow]

tru tru dies again cuz i keep melee-boosting off of cliffs

if i can get to ship properly i'm fine from there' i've gotten further before

i just dumm

[obtuse mirage]

How far away is it

[magic elbow]

i made it this time lulz

[pure elm]

Yeah the starting planet is gnarly

You got scorching heat, predators, limited inventory, sentinels watching out for you mining stuff you need

Resources are also not easy to get

[obtuse mirage]

Once you get a bit of money and fly off the planet it gets a lot easier

[pure elm]

Just dont be dumb like me and press the esc button when you get yeeted into the air lol

[obtuse mirage]

As long as you quit as soon as you die you will just go back to the last save

[pure elm]

Also i had tried going to an underwater crashed freighter without the nautilus exo, couldnt activate the beacon for some reason so i tried to go back up but apparently i got stuck or something because i wwsnt reaching the surface lol

Luckily i was able to reload in time to prevent disaster from striking

[pure elm]

Happened too quick for me to process it in time and stop my file from getting reset lol

[obtuse mirage]

oof

[static willow]

Free X class ship when?

[obtuse mirage]

What

[pure elm]

Is there such a thing as an x class ship or is it only upgrades?

[static willow]

It’s a joke, throughout this expedition, everybody starts with the current tier based on the community contributions

[obtuse mirage]

Only upgrade’s

[static willow]

we all get X class modules now but I don’t believe there is an X-class ship 😉

[minor breach]

There isn’t

[obtuse mirage]

I got a b ship

[static willow]

Thus the joke

[pure elm]

Yeah its why i ask lol, i never saw one but the joke didnt land for me

No pun intended

[static willow]

no worries

[obtuse mirage]

Yea I didn’t get it till you explained

[pure elm]

S has always been the highest i saw

[static willow]

mine was a B but I died enough to get an A right after the tier was reached

[pure elm]

So the question made me think "wait there are x class ships???"

[obtuse mirage]

NO!

[pure elm]

Um

[static willow]

[modern canyon]

if I say the sentence "I hate this damn planet", I bet everyone here knows which

[pure elm]

I just got the answer to that lol

No need to yell it to me

[obtuse mirage]

All of them

[static willow]

[pure elm]

I woukd say the one you start on, but a whole bunch of them are hot trash lol

[modern canyon]

fourth anchor

[pure elm]

Sentinels, sentinels everywhere

[obtuse mirage]

The ice one?

[pure elm]

Sentinels and predators do not mix

[modern canyon]

no, that's 3

superheated, washed-out colors, stupid steep cliffs

the sentinels, eh, I'm used to that. I play Survival pretty often anyway.

[obtuse mirage]

That was honestly terrible I landed my ship at the top of a mountain climbed down then released my ship had no fuel

[pure elm]

Im just worried about dying lol

[modern canyon]

I'm in my minotaur at the bottom of one of these cliffs and I think the waypoint is at the top of them

[pure elm]

Did you get the recharging upgrade?

[modern canyon]

I grabbed a solar first chance I got so I'm not hugely worried about fuel

[obtuse mirage]

Yea but it was on 11% and I ran out of batteries

[dusty pecan]

This is why I prefered nomad for those mountain planets

unlike minotaur it can go up even the worst cliffs

[pure elm]

You can always dig into the terrain to get away from the environment hazard

[obtuse mirage]

I just wasn’t use to topping it up so much

[modern canyon]

keep a bit of uranium in your pockets to top it off when needed and it's easy tbh

[obtuse mirage]

True but tell past self me

[pure elm]

Unless your manipulator was all out too and you didnt have anything to top it up with

[modern canyon]

the issue with the nomad is, well. extreme storms, and with the massively jacked-up research costs, it's not easy to get the heat protection

[modern canyon]

punch plants

[obtuse mirage]

I didn’t think about it at the time

[pure elm]

Manipulator doesnt take carbon tho

Unless you mean the mining beam

[obtuse mirage]

.

[pure elm]

To get the dust with

[obtuse mirage]

.

[magic elbow]

got off first planet

OwO

[obtuse mirage]

Yay

Have fun trying not to die

[pure elm]

Grats

[dusty pecan]

stack of ion batteries in exosuit cargo is plenty for that

[modern canyon]

congratulations! I mean that with no sarcasm at all, escaping the first planet is usually the hardest part of survival

[obtuse mirage]

Also you ship will be scanned ever five minutes

[modern canyon]

protip: buy ion batteries and life support gel like your life depends on it.

'cause it does, see.

[pure elm]

Ive done mostly a good job except for the one time a horror clipped me through my own base walls and yeeted me up high

Wouldbe jetpacjed on the way down but i pressed escape in panic

[magic elbow]

ill just talk to polo for the mission and go back tho cuz i think i need more magnetized ferrite for the multi-tool thingy i need to install to get liquid sun :/

[modern canyon]

you can always refine ferrite

[dusty pecan]

not even the escape but the first minute of game hoping you find a sodium plant or a cave before you die

[pure elm]

Pro-tip: craft creature pellets instead and farm ancestral memories

[obtuse mirage]

Łïqüīd śùń

[pure elm]

The solar ray runs out very quickly

[obtuse mirage]

And take up lodes of sodium

200 for a full recharge I think

[pure elm]

Not to mention that the terrain deposots are limited

[obtuse mirage]

And you don’t get a lot

[dusty pecan]

use smaller brush size with with the solar ray and you can get way more per deposit

[static willow]

If only

[dusty pecan]

or just use exocraft to hop between deposits fast

[pure elm]

Whereas you can make pellets very cheaply and feed just about any creature, and every minute or so itll give you the option to get ancestral memories

[static willow]

Harvesting 50,000 liquid sun should give you the title “strip miner”

[pure elm]

Which you can farm as much as you like, or at least until you leave the area or they get frightened

[smoky meadow]

both are good, though if you find a group of like 4-5 creatures next to each other ancestral memories is really efficient

[pure elm]

And they also fetch a pretty penny so its good for the units milestone too

[static willow]

massive environmental destruction versus feeding planetary creatures

[dusty pecan]

There is allso the afk dust farm if you don't mind cheese

[static willow]

sooo cheese

[pure elm]

Somnal dust right?

How does it work?

[static willow]

Might as well item dupe

[smoky meadow]

also deposit size for some minerals are different than others, smaller ones are kinda meh for liquid sun but big ones give a lot

[magic elbow]

i was gonna do that too, 250 liquid sun isn't a big deal either tho

[static willow]

You afk melee the first screen in the derelict, for tiny amounts of dust

[dusty pecan]

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

[smoky meadow]

its allowed within the game mechanics of the game

[pure elm]

Thanks, ill have a look tomorrow or so

[static willow]

So is item duping 😉 kek gek kek

[smoky meadow]

somnal dust non-afk i think is faster though

[dusty pecan]

yeah one derelict easily gives 1000+ dust non afk way

[smoky meadow]

but hitting a screen is pretty safe (though at that point just go milk animals)

[minor breach]

Ew effort

[static willow]

you can get around 700 - 1K dust per

[pure elm]

"Gek" just made me think of the two gek pirates who demanded that i pay them money for a "service"

[dusty pecan]

and turning in dust is only 100 each

[pure elm]

Gek are totally ferengi lol

[static willow]

Gek mafia protection racket

[pure elm]

Total scam if you ask me

I paid them but thry just demamded more later lol

[obtuse mirage]

The dust is by far the easiest

[pure elm]

Jokes on them tho, i have da anomalee

[obtuse mirage]

And when you hand it in you get a new radar thing to find frigates

[pure elm]

Paid them to leave me alone because i was tired of constantly summoning the anomaly but they just gotta be in my face lol

[smoky meadow]

for my speedrun im planning on milking animals to get 200 ancestral memories at the start then get 400 sommnal dust at the deliric freighter at the end to finish the polo milestone

[obtuse mirage]

Im trying to get the the centre of the galaxy in this mode but it’s not going so well

[dusty pecan]

yeah helps that started planet has aggresive animals for the 150 memories from the milestone

[static willow]

Hey, I got to the center of Calypso and the Atlas missions popped up again! niiice

[static willow]

Are you warping or using portals?

[obtuse mirage]

God sake

[obtuse mirage]

Yea my game keeps on crashing when I get close

[static willow]

[obtuse mirage]

I know how to but I don’t know why it breaks

I am on PS4 but im to tired to try again tonight

[static willow]

maybe warp out of the gateway system and back in, try again?

reload, turn off MP, etc.

[obtuse mirage]

I’ll try that tomorrow

[static willow]

Try all the usual stuff

👍

[obtuse mirage]

Thanks tho

Btw @static willow do your get the trophy because it’s perma death mode

[static willow]

Nope, just the survival one

[modern canyon]

wait. sentinels ignore the minotaur?

[obtuse mirage]

K

[obtuse mirage]

Some times

[smoky meadow]

last time i played the expedition i remember getting 5 warp cells somewhere at the start, where did they come from?

[obtuse mirage]

Right I’m heading off have a good one you lot

[static willow]

👋

[ashen turret]

Probably something more like "Sunburner"

[cobalt shore]

Who else is done with the expedition itself but stays around to gather ancestral memories, liquid sun and somnual dust to give to Polo?

And occasionally giving resources to other Travellers?

[static willow]

So, it appears that you cannot do the final Atlas interface under the current expedition save.

[static willow]

I’ve been feeding him daily!

Got to advance those memory fragments

[cobalt shore]

I haven't played NMS during most of my weekend due to family stuff but I'm back at it again lol

[static willow]

Reloading autosave from Atlas station put me back on regular space station….

[cobalt shore]

As far as I'm concerned Polo doesn't eat it 😅

[static willow]

OK, so that’s Hella bugged

And now the atlas path is lost again

[static willow]

He trades at all for grahgrah and nipnip

[cobalt shore]

Getting stoned while letting us do the hard work 🙄

[woeful ore]

Playing expedition on PS5 and I keep losing connection to online and the space stations are glitching - ie when I speak to an NPC pilot to do the trade/buy ship thing, it just loops and rerolls his ship.... And there are invisible ships here too.

I've restarted, still persisting. Anyone know what's going on?

[static willow]

Disable MP as a first step

[modern canyon]

I've had that one before. no idea what the issue is or how to fix it, sorry

[woeful ore]

Thanks - will I still be able to see uploaded bases with mp disabled?

[woeful ore]

Np. Thank you, misery loves company 🙂

[static willow]

Yes

[modern canyon]

if nothing else, at least it confirms it's not an issue with your hardware, however unlikely that may have been in the first place

[woeful ore]

Ok multiplayer disabled may have fixed the problem. I can actually speak to the npcs in the space station again. I wonder what's up with that

[static willow]

It’s a mystery

[magic elbow]

uhhh was going to rendevouz #1... there's a derelict freighter here tho cuz of an emergency broadcast thingy... 🤔

how dangerous is this weird freighter and will it stay here if i go do the rendevouz first?

[barren creek]

You will not lose the emergency broadcast receiver, no.

[magic elbow]

but i used it 🤔

[static willow]

Just came across an interesting bug

After a core jump ||if you transfer a technology module into your exo suit general space, it becomes instantly broken like all the others||

[magic elbow]

can i get more of those 🤔?

[static willow]

Yes, from the scrap dealer at any station

[magic elbow]

better question: how fckd am i if i go on a derelict w/ no experience~?

[static willow]

Pro tip: slap it in your freighter so that it doesn’t keep popping up the annoying tooltip

[static willow]

How much other game experience do you have?

I wouldn’t ||do a freighter in the expedition until it is required||

[magic elbow]

a few hours on the pioneers expedition at a friends place, then like 6months without playing, and now this

[ashen turret]

you need a weapon of some kind on your multitool, that much is a must

[static willow]

There are some glyphs in the pins of the easiest one to do

[magic elbow]

🤔 kewl, i'll just leave it for now

[static willow]

yeah, that distress beacon is annoying for the early expedition

[smoky meadow]

i feel like we are talking about a different thing i did a derelict with a mining laser

[static willow]

you use the mining laser for combat often?

I sometimes use it against the monstrosities

[smoky meadow]

i follow a simple rule, do not do combat on perma-death unless necessary

[static willow]

Somewhat unavoidable during this expedition

[smoky meadow]

only the 20 sentinels basically

maybe extra killing some hostile fauna

[static willow]

Exactly, one of my loops was killed by predator

[dusty pecan]

sentinels aren't that dangerous

animals on the other hand...

[smoky meadow]

luckily as far as im aware only the starting planet has predators

animals hit hard

[dusty pecan]

the 1st anchor system storm crystal planet has some fun animals too

not hostile but I accidently hit one with mining laser

[static willow]

Yeah, I got an RNG death to predator in the first five seconds of my third Loop I think

[dusty pecan]

one shot me trough 2 shield modules

[magic elbow]

jfc ennect is extreme weather why

[static willow]

Worst one was dying in iteration 4 tho

kek

[magic elbow]

dumm anchor point smh

[smoky meadow]

haha you havent even seen anchor point 4

[dusty pecan]

yeah anchor 4 is special

[magic elbow]

💀

[static willow]

Real special

[dusty pecan]

extreme sentinels, extreme weather, extreme mountains

all extreme

[static willow]

It’s extremely extreme

[smoky meadow]

good thing is you can get the sentinels and storm crystal milestone there if you are brave

[static willow]

This is not the way

[smoky meadow]

i have done it 2 times without dying so it is possible

had to reload a bunch...

[static willow]

Oddly enough, the initial planet they landed me on in Hilbert has storm crystals

I should’ve reloaded when I was facing Imminent falling death, but c’est la vie

8 loops, good for knowledge

[smoky meadow]

the knowledge to reload is basically necessary for the expedition, i wouldnt had been able to finish it without it

when i was about to finish the expedition for the first time i went trough the ground when teleporting to my base

[dusty pecan]

the PC super power of instant Alt+F4

[static willow]

Those ground falling bugs won’t kill you anymore

[smoky meadow]

nice they added that

im surprised they even coded into the game you would die when falling through the ground like why

[static willow]

Well, the game doesn’t know that you’re falling because of a glitch

Very difficult to implement a proper check against that

[smoky meadow]

you can just make it so player keeps falling indefinitely

[static willow]

I’m pretty sure that the patch they introduced performs a similar check, if you are falling for too long, it repositions to player to a “safe” location

This is how I’m rolling

[halcyon stirrup]

I finally completed this expedition. Big thanks to everyone who built some bases to assist the rest of us

[static willow]

Congrats! Well done traveler

[halcyon stirrup]

Thanks. Worth it in the end. Almost quit a few times.

[static willow]

I liked it so much I’m manually navigating to Eissentam!

!levithanrole @halcyon stirrup

sad bot no working

[halcyon stirrup]

Do you plan on continuing your expedition save?

[static willow]

anyway, if you post a screenshot and paying the “moderators” you can get the role

[halcyon stirrup]

I DM'd a mod and requested the role.

[static willow]

Yeah, I’m continuing to feed polo to advance the community goals and probably will make this my main save

Costs are supposed to go back down to normal after the expedition

so I’ll just be scavenging data, feeding polo, stacking fragments etc. until then

after I get set up in Eissentam

[halcyon stirrup]

Nice. I'll probably delete my old permadeath save and start a new one.

[static willow]

It converts to survival now

Just FYI

Once you are complete you are basically in survival mode

[halcyon stirrup]

Ah got it. Thanks

[magic elbow]

nuuuuu i just got the anchor 1 memory, was boutta run to my ship, and diedddd 😔

but hey, i finished iteration #1

[minor breach]

Nice

[smoky meadow]

one trick you can do is summoning you ship before grabbing the memory

[minor breach]

Well the last part is nice not the first part

Or just jet pack away is what I do

[smoky meadow]

if you get some fuel for thrusters before hand you can do a lot of stuff more safe with the ship

jet pack away is as dangerous because of fall damage

[minor breach]

Yup but living life on the edge feels good(until you die then your computer is in danger)

[smoky meadow]

i personally melee jetpack on the expedition most of time, still summoned my ship for the memory since its faster xD

[minor breach]

Yeah my first play through ever I didn’t know about melee jet packing but it’s so useful

[smoky meadow]

yeah same for me, i used the rocket boots for a while

[magic elbow]

oof, friend showed me when i played the first time

[static willow]

Why are they preventing us from completing Atlas?!

[magic elbow]

now i spam Q-Space 24/7

anyway i'm tired, almsot 2am

gotta collapse

urgh im gonna hate redoing iteration 1 againnnnn

thank god most of it auto-completes

sidenote: I like the level of difficulty that perma-death adds to this expedition, but i also kinda hate it, cuz getting to the point where you dun rly have to worry bout dying takes a lot of work ;_;

still wanna do it tho, I need that screenshit of all the iterations complete and my name on it ohno, completionist gridset fUck, I mean I've also been working on the last few golden berries in celeste... and 112% all achievs + radiant hog in hollow knight... I have a problem dun i

[static willow]

I'm frustrated about the Altas path, and don't understand why they are blocking the last station, but not core jumps. Doing more science.

[smoky meadow]

well if you can do those the expedition is ez

[magic elbow]

nah, I have months, if not years of experience with the other games, from casual, speedrun, and completion perspectives... and only somewhere in the vicinity of 20h total gameplay time in NMS, with a huge 6month gap shoved down the middle

[smoky meadow]

makes sense, with the expedition a lot of knowledge of the game comes into play

though still expedition is easy

[static willow]

OK, I was actually finally able to complete the Atlas path on the expedition save! Various glitches encountered

[minor breach]

I’ve done 112% all achievements but not radiant hog

[magic elbow]

💀 life is pain

[smoky meadow]

i want to do at least a sub-2 hour in-game time expedition tomorrow

[magic elbow]

yeah thatd the hardest part, but meanwhile my save got wiped and bought the game on steam, so I have to redo everything lul

[minor breach]

Ah rip

[magic elbow]

HOW

[smoky meadow]

my record is 2:27 btw and i didnt even have proper route

[minor breach]

Moding it is so fun on steam expetially randomizers plus skins

[smoky meadow]

though i did get some insane hyperdrive upgrade rng...

[magic elbow]

yussss, but since I'm still redoing everything i've kept it towas aesthetic/qol mods rn (including skins yes)

[minor breach]

Multiplayer is also rlly cool

[magic elbow]

played it a bit w/ bf to introduce em to the game, was kinda buggy last I tried but idkI, been a while

[minor breach]

Yeah

[magic elbow]

😔

meanwhile, im currently in extraordinary pain, fck having a limited time event like this AND carpal tunnel at the same timedosage ;_;

anyway I gotta collapse, night yall

[static willow]

Sorry to hear about that

👋

[minor breach]

Night

[barren creek]

I forgot his/her username, but boy, whoever set up the nipnip + sentinel destroying base in the starter system is amazing. I'm already almost done with iteration 4. (I got 2 and 3 done today as well.)
