nms-expedition

[frosty pine]

I want my X rank upgrades 😂

[obtuse mirage]

So ||deathless|| is possible

[indigo falcon]

lol

[frosty pine]

Ye

[foggy cloak]

Do you REALLY want that?

[indigo falcon]

well ||except the end|| yes

[obtuse mirage]

But you don’t ||die||

[indigo falcon]

you do!

[obtuse mirage]

Because you ||don’t lose your stuff||

[indigo falcon]

you |||die but you break the loop. you get the death screen. it's a real death.||

[frosty pine]

But ||the leviathan has magic powers and resurrects you|| 👀

Just to be sure, but ||it stops being permadeath after you complete iteration five right?||

[indigo falcon]

well it's more that ||the save becomes like a normal survival save instead of being in a death loop||

[frosty pine]

I mean... i didn't die yet after the initial death. Only one time i was about to die because my ship bugged inside the freighter, but reloaded before the inevitable end 😂

[indigo falcon]

ho ho! fast fingers

[frosty pine]

Also, any better way to farm salvaged data than actually having a fast exo and running around planets? 😅

[indigo falcon]

not that I know of.

sometimes you'll find it for sale, I wouldn't even bother

[frosty pine]

I got about 120 in an hour and was just able to afford a medium refiner

Prices are crazy here

[indigo falcon]

140 for a teleporter, I feel your pain

[dusty pecan]

You can look for a shop that has good amount of data for sale

[indigo falcon]

at the end of the expedition we'll get normal prices again

[dusty pecan]

put down save point next to it and buy>save>load>buy

[frosty pine]

Smh'

I would need to find one first

[dusty pecan]

best I have seen so far is 5 data in one shop

[frosty pine]

I guess if you have the money it's still better

[dusty pecan]

was in the 2 weeks back quicksilver mission system even

[frosty pine]

Suppose each loop could take about 30s or so

[dusty pecan]

someone had been nice enough to plop down base there named 5 data something too

well money wasn't really issue with that shop since there was good dozen AI mines setup there in the system too

[frosty pine]

Actually, my main concern right now should be freighter modules 👀

Still need to add the hyperdrive upgrade and the mass teleporter 😂

Ohh and the orbital thing for the exo

[dusty pecan]

what you don't want to run thousands of derelict freighter runs to warp to blue system?

what are you a casual? 😂

[frosty pine]

hahahahaa

I've been running those a lot

Tbh it looks better than salvage data farming

You only need 330 for all the hyperdrive upgrades and the matter beam

[barren creek]

"only"

[frosty pine]

So it's about 250 runs to get them 😂

[woeful ore]

So every space station is deserted for me. No ships anywhere. I also have a persistent "You have lost connectivity to online discovery services"message in the discovery tab.

Are these related?

[frosty pine]

Probably not

Ship spawns are local

[woeful ore]

👍

[frosty pine]

While the online discovery...

Well, it's also broken for me right now

[woeful ore]

Online discovery is driving me crazy. Its been like this for days. Can only assume overload

I just want to go somewhere and barter on some cool ships. All freighters empty too 😑

[magic elbow]

whats online discovery? I havent hadhad any probkems with the game that dont come down to "your ssd and cpu arent great" or "you should increase ur gpu settings but are too afraid of lagspikes to do so"

[frosty pine]

The service that syncs your discoveries with the ones from everyone else

[magic elbow]

oh hmm no clue

[frosty pine]

Discovered system, planets, animals and so

And their names

Ohh it's back online

[final spindle]

so if i die i lose all the mats and upgrades i did to my stuff?

[ashen shore]

Yup

[hardy inlet]

yay! expedition finished! ❤️

[rustic axle]

What went wrong is there's not even a month after they end that another has started

[frosty pine]

You lose everything but your expedition milestones

So in theory the more you advence in the expedition, it should be easier to go back to where you were

[ashen shore]

I think that is not the case

[hardy inlet]

you loose everything

[frosty pine]

No idea tbh, i never died

[ashen shore]

You loose the milestones upon death

[hardy inlet]

yep

[ashen shore]

We have a pinned message about what persists after death

[frosty pine]

Ohh you also lose the milestones?

[ashen shore]

Big shoutout to @indigo falcon

[frosty pine]

That sucks then

[hardy inlet]

this is the mentioned message

bases do remain so it's worth to build a little base to quickly go around in case you die

[frosty pine]

So we still go back to the point where is better to just complete soon iteration 5 and then just forget about death penalty 😂

[ashen shore]

Well, it gets a bit easier with the S-class upgrades

Thanks to the ongoing community reasearch

[frosty pine]

Ohh for sure. But that has only been like that since kind of 12hs ago 😂

I wonder how much of a % point does a single player contribute for each polo talk

And if the different tasks contribute different %

[dusty pecan]

pretty sure there was a data mine that it's in the millions per stage

with daily max turn in of 20 per person

[frosty pine]

Ohh what? So we can't just farm 1k contributions alone?

What kind of multiplayer bs is this? 😂

[dusty pecan]

I mean this game does have save editors and dupes around

[frosty pine]

Ohh true

[dusty pecan]

hell I had to use save editor to fix bug of my maxed out starter ships inventory and stats getting swapped to an exotic I was in the process of upgrading lol

earlier today

[barren creek]

Well this is supposedly anchor point 4... Is there supposed to be nothing or should I reload?

yep, reloading fixed it

[indigo falcon]

geez

this game... smh

[final spindle]

do we need the "Memory Imprint" items for something or we can throw them away?

[barren creek]

gotta love digging myself into a hole to avoid storms and sentinels while my launch thrusters recharge

this planet sucks.

[indigo falcon]

wonder how many people will build huge bases on it later in order to.. get even 😄

[barren creek]

lol

[indigo falcon]

I stuck mine in storage for now (free storage rooms on the freighter, why not?) you don't ever use them, they are just lore

[final spindle]

alright

[static willow]

Doesn’t using a save editor to hack in everything you need just defeat the purpose and enjoyment?

I never saw the point

[indigo falcon]

some people prefer that to the grind, for some range of items

if they enjoy the game better that way, and they're not griefing people, it's their game, no wrong way to play

[frosty pine]

I just stopped caring about that when i got my first batch of uranium 😂

And before that i had like 50 launch fuel items

[barren creek]

I had launch fuel, my starship was just out of range.

[frosty pine]

Ahh so bad then

I guess what you can do if you are going to explore a bad planet weather is going to the anomaly, teleporting to the station and then going to explore. I think that should keep your "Teleport back to the anomaly" option available

[woeful ore]

Not quite sure how I'd configure those settings on a PS5 or how they'd help mitigate an overloaded server

[magic elbow]

I dun have server issues

at all

only computer issues

literal ~0ms ping

but shitty hardware

[woeful ore]

I think is resolved now, based on what @deathx91 said

[calm flax]

When I found an S 34+9 freighter on my first battle with no reloads after I finished the expedition while out looking for a paradise planet it didn't bother me to dupe things and use the ship trading glitch to get the 150m to buy the freighter. I'm going to delete this save by the time expeditions finish. I don't dupe or use the trading glitch on saves I keep though.

[frosty pine]

Trading can get you 150m really fast tho 👀

[indigo falcon]

I don't either but maybe I will at some point (example: move to Steam, save edit a copy of existing most advanced save in). or maybe I never will but someone else finds the game better with it. who am I to argue?

[calm flax]

What do you mean by trading?

[frosty pine]

Like trading goods?

[calm flax]

I had to get the 150m without leaving the system or reloading the game or the freighter would have disappeared.

[dusty pecan]

It's not like save editors are only good for cheating in resources to skip grind too

Fixing bugs or trying out weird shit are good real uses too

[indigo falcon]

game glitch breaks your stuff, save edit. yep

[dusty pecan]

yup which is what happened to me earlier today and forced me to download editor to fix

[indigo falcon]

exactly

[calm flax]

I almost didn't finish my first expedition save because I was dying due to glitches. Turning off multiplayer solved that though and I went ahead and finished it.

[frosty pine]

I always do expeditions without mp now

[indigo falcon]

same

[frosty pine]

Had bad experiences with players trapping other players around anchor points

[indigo falcon]

just too many crashes otherwise

[calm flax]

I should also. I just like having multiplayer enabled. I know it causes trouble though.

[dusty pecan]

does no mp hide all the usefull bases people put down too?

[indigo falcon]

no

[frosty pine]

No

[dusty pecan]

nice

[indigo falcon]

unfortunately it also does not hide the gazillion comm balls

[frosty pine]

But if you actually block internet connection for NMS i think you could see no bases at all

If that's what you want at some point 😂

[calm flax]

When I was in a space station and someone else was there the ships kept disappearing when I tried to interact with them. Sometimes there'd be multiple NPC's at each ship also.

[indigo falcon]

you would not be able to start an expd save offline

[frosty pine]

But can you create the game, and then block connection?

[indigo falcon]

maybe

[frosty pine]

It's just a firewall think anyway

So you can do it on the fly

I guess as long as you cut connection to the discovery server, you should get no info from anyone else

[calm flax]

Too bad they don't do like Subnautica does and let me disable all of them or enable the one's I want to enable.

[indigo falcon]

I imagine on consoles there is a lot less flexibility

[frosty pine]

The discovery server should be the same ip

So you could potentially add a firewall rule to the modem/router

[indigo falcon]

I'd have to know which server that is. and given there's not apps afaik that monitor traffic connections on the ps5 itself

anyways, drifitng towards off topic maybe

[frosty pine]

Most of the NMS online traffic goes trough playfabapi.com domain. So just blocking the domain when you want to go offline should be enough. Didn't try it tho

[indigo falcon]

I wonder whether it would be feasible to give comm balls an expiration date. default is a week, max is a year, and players can delete their own.. hmmm

[indigo falcon]

ok that's good info, ty!

[barren creek]

It sucks that storage is so limited in this expedition. Makes it rather tedious to farm nanites from tainted metal.

[indigo falcon]

that's survival mode though.

[barren creek]

oh

[frosty pine]

I'm just getting nanites from upgrades

Farm either memory upgrades or sentinel upgrades and sell them

[indigo falcon]

farm units instead, buy mats for memory upgrades, sell. or farm sentinel tech and sell that

heh

[frosty pine]

Also if you have a save point next to a non aggressive planet pillar, you could just load, disable pillar, pick up sentinel and walker loot, save, reload

[indigo falcon]

it's not much loot you get from that though

couplea barrels

[frosty pine]

Yea

[indigo falcon]

and one's always the hardframe engine

[final spindle]

is there a optimal loadout for exosuit updated?

[frosty pine]

I need the shotgun thing. I've been killing sentinels with blaze javelin and the stun upgrade. But i need like 5-6 shots to kill each.

[indigo falcon]

not mine, credits in the image

[final spindle]

thanks

[ashen shore]

Lmao, broken life support module

I didn't know that

[frosty pine]

How do you get that tho?

[indigo falcon]

core jump I guess and don't repair

[frosty pine]

Ahh, then i guess i'm not getting that 😂

I don't plan on leaving euclid atm

[ashen shore]

Thanks for sharing, maybe I will rework my loadout to be like that

[indigo falcon]

thank the author who did all the research 🙂

[static willow]

I noticed yesterday that my broken protection modules were still operating without need for recharge.

Hella bugged

Also there is wonky behaviour when you move a non-broken item from tech to general, it shows as broken, but can still be moved back to tech and no be broken. Whereas an actually broken module cannot be moved until repaired.

[barren creek]

How come I still have the security credentials after finishing the derelict?

I also still have the EBS even without the personal refiner

The derelict was different than normal as well... Talks of leviathans etc. instead of the usual stuff in the logs and it gave me the blueprint for the ||whalesong flute|| instead of the usual freighter/frigate stuff.

wait, but this is supposed to give me that blueprint...

[edgy heath]

How do you get loop progression?

[indigo falcon]

this encounter did not require an erb.

hence it did not spend your one.

if you had left partway through you would have had to spend an erb to get it back though

[foggy cloak]

You turn in stuff for Polo

[indigo falcon]

(phase 5 special encounter)

[edgy heath]

Ah ok thanks

[barren creek]

I got 8 more from giving polo a bunch of somnal dust kek

[indigo falcon]

every 100 somnal = free erb

if you plan to continue playing this save later, it's a great way to stack up free erbs for freighter upgrades

[barren creek]

Is it possible to buy salvaged data anywhere?

[frosty pine]

Acording to several people yes

Random stuff on vendors

[indigo falcon]

sometimes you can find it at a trade terminal

I don't think it's worth it, honestly

[frosty pine]

If you have an upgraded exocraft and are in a nice traversable planet, then probably not

[barren creek]

I have neither, but I do have quite a few units. Likely not enough for another 96 data tho...

[frosty pine]

My settlement planet is so nice, but have mountains

Ohh boy, just found out that windows comes with countdown timer. I was using my phone alarm to remind me to go and setup the next construction step 😂

[wraith badge]

Yes at some Minor Settlements

[dusty pecan]

Yeah best data trade I have seen so far was 5 data

In the 2 weeks back weekly quicksilver mission system

[random berry]

is the only way to get the scatter blaster module through one of the memory things?

[dusty pecan]

Can allso find it preinstalled on a multitool

[random berry]

but one or the other basically?

[dusty pecan]

I think someone posted coords of a royal multitool with one preinstalled on the starting planet a while back

[foggy cloak]

no, you can buy for nanites

just need 5k nanites for one module

[dusty pecan]

Aren't the weapon modules locked? or is it just for starship weapons?

[frosty pine]

Yea, i see it as Memory Lost

[random berry]

yeah I can buy upgrade things at a regular vendor

[foggy cloak]

the blueprints are closed

[random berry]

but not the base module

[frosty pine]

Ahh yea, you can get any prebuilt module

[pure elm]

Didn't get to play much today, but as soon as I went to the anomaly someone sent me a storage augmentation lol

Guess I'll use it tomorrow

[foggy cloak]

Did you pay your galactic taxes? If not we are taking the storage augmemt

[pure elm]

You'll never catch me aaaliiiveeee [engages warp drive]

[foggy cloak]

You know warps are trackable riggt?

[pure elm]

Ummm

[proceeds to run like a coward anyway]

In all seriousness though, I love this expedition

[dusty pecan]

[Hops into anomaly so daddy polo can hide me]

[pure elm]

Aight gonna close out the day now, hoping I'll be able to find a crashed freighter tomorrow

And when I do, I'll put a base there

[spiral spire]

anyone know any systems that have cool planets?

[barren creek]

Why use a prediscovered one when you could find one yourself?

[spiral spire]

idk

im not good at coming up with planet names and in my opinion the default names are kinda boring

[final spindle]

https://i.imgur.com/WXsLBUo.jpeg

can we do something on those encounters?

[frosty pine]

☝️

I'm not sharing my system by any means 😂

I like it not being full of bases everywhere

[barren creek]

Dude the music after constructing the ||whalesong flute|| is fantastic

[frosty pine]

I would love being able to have a 100% living fleet

Like, living freighter + all living frigates + living ship

Interior building on that freighter may be sick tho 😂

Flesh walls and stuff like that

[thick moth]

Hey can someone tell me the name of a solar system and planet with Storm Crystals? I cannot find the one where I was during the journey

[barren creek]

[thick moth]

Okay thanks!

[barren creek]

What should I expect when ||calling the leviathan||? Boss fight? Just a lore dump? Something else?

[loud glen]

Yea I couldn’t figure out how to load pins on mobile-it was swipe right

[frosty pine]

||Lore + loop broken (you can die without losing progress)||

[barren creek]

cool

[loud glen]

Just finished finally

[cobalt shore]

Why do I never get weapon memory fragments except for the geology cannon? 🙄

Just give me the scatter blaster or something smh

[barren creek]

Something tells me I didn't do it right...

oh

nvm it's just slow

[dusty pecan]

yeah the weapon fragments are weird they seem to just prefer to give same few upgrades again and again

[barren creek]

<@&590975379678953522> I did the thing

[woeful ore]

This may be a stupid question. If I transfer to another freighter, does it transfer all my storage rooms and the contents?

Just got offered a 30 million freighter for free, but I have a ton of stuff in a storage room on my existing freighter

[fringe agate]

Yes the base automatically goes over, you will need to transfer the main inventory contents at the transfer screen

[woeful ore]

Thank you!

[hushed steeple]

The base doesn’t transfer I thought? But items in storage are in a cloud.

[lapis ember]

I just started the exp and reacher polo for the first time, but the game said i did "complete the third universal loop" objective. Is it normal?

[dusty pecan]

yup

[woeful ore]

Yes, that's the group objective

[lapis ember]

Ah, ok
Was thinking it was a kind of joke, because it was an infinite loop

[woeful ore]

So everyone is contributing towards that

[lapis ember]

Thanks!

[woeful ore]

👌

[cobalt shore]

I. Just. Want. The. Scatter. Blaster 😤

[woeful ore]

Turns out it wasn't a free freighter. They want 25 million and I have 19. Is there any way to trade without losing the offer, or if I leave is that it?

I assumed it would be free because I'm sure it was last time I saved a freighter from pirates 😩

[fringe agate]

You start with one in the expedition, so no freebie this time

[dusty pecan]

First one is allways free

[cobalt shore]

What is the #expedition-logs channel for? Is that a channel were people write small fan fictions about the current expedition?

[barren creek]

and in this case, the first in the expedition is the one you start with

[fringe agate]

That model is tied to the system, but yes if you leave the offer will be gone. You will need another rescue event to get it again

[fringe agate]

Yep!

[cobalt shore]

Funny

[woeful ore]

Gah that's annoying. It's the most beautiful freighter I've ever seen. A jet black monstrosity. Looks very 80s.

So just to clarify before I leave it, I can't go back to my freighter, pick up 6 million of things to sell at the space station and then return to buy it? .....or can I? 🤞

[fringe agate]

You probably can

Leaving the system would be the issue

[woeful ore]

Hmmmm. Guess I'll see if I can find 6 million in the vaults then

Or I could just, yknow, look for the anchor point. This is why I keep dying 😂

[hardy inlet]

wow 80 salvaged data for the solar panel. I guess whoever built the bases did it with their main >.>

[woeful ore]

I found a planet called Senile Biden and it's littered with salvaged data. Very easy to farm. Is in the Overusa-Aesh system

[dusty pecan]

It doesn't take too long to get 120 for solar panel and battery zipping around a good planet with nomad

[hardy inlet]

❤️

[pine lynx]

so ive just completed the expedition, is there any point in doing the optional milestones ?

[dusty pecan]

you can't do them solo anyway

they are community stuff

[pine lynx]

oh

so i should just keep handing in stuff to polo, and hope the rest of the community do the same ? 😄

[dusty pecan]

yeah if you feel like it

there is 20 turn ins per day cap per person tho so don't go all in unless you just want the memory fragments

[hardy inlet]

memory fragmentsssss O_O

[final spindle]

is there any way to make like 50millions fast?

[dusty pecan]

Look at teleporter

[final spindle]

or the chlorine way is still the fastest way to make money?

[dusty pecan]

good chance you'll find attleast one free stuff base

[woeful ore]

You want to know something weird? Every time I go to my freighter and then leave again, that black freighter gets attacked and puts out a distress call. Four times in a row so far. I can just earn the money to buy it that way 😋

[woeful niche]

I have seen multiple times that after an Expedition is over/closed it is converted to a Normal save. I have never understood what this means. All my Expedition saves still show as Community Expedition.

Can someone explain?

[calm flax]

If it isn't too late just call your freighter in the system and get the stuff out.

[woeful ore]

Still there ! 🙂

Every time I go back to the new freighter it lets a distress call out and gets attacked again. Four times in a row so far! Is this normal?

[calm flax]

I haven't had that happen before. I did just buy a long black sentinel S 34+9 by duping a bunch of stuff and using the ship trading glitch in the space station.

[woeful ore]

In theory I can keep saving them, get paid and then repeat 🙂

Is the ship glitch where you sell a ship and then jump right back into it and claim it again?

[calm flax]

yes. The problem is it didn't work very good this time. The most expensive ship that came in was around 14m. I was wanting to get an expensive hauler so I could get an AI valve and dupe it. I needed 150m to buy the freighter I bought.

[torn peak]

Do abandoned freighters have multiple floors? I'm stuck trying to find a doorway that looks on the analysis visor like it's a floor below me, but I can't find any ladders or stairs.

[calm flax]

scan the floor you're on and it should show where the doors are

[torn peak]

NVM i found it

it didn't show up on any scans

[calm flax]

that's weird. I guess with this expedition weird is the norm though.

[torn peak]

yeah

ig

[frosty pine]

Ohh nice, saved some salvage data

Didn't know that the drone quest gave you the exocraft station recipe

[dusty pecan]

it was the setup base milestone

[frosty pine]

But you need to defend the base from an attack after you become overlord and start the questline

Or at least i got the broken drone now

[umbral forum]

Have settlements seen any improvement in this expedition?

[honest ore]

what too much expedition 7

does to a man

[tawny herald]

Too true.

[barren creek]

After completing the expedition, are blueprint and upgrade costs etc. still the same?

If they are, will they go back to normal after the expedition is over?

[cunning raptor]

stupid question, i kinda skipped some anchor points and went straight to 5, and now i'm not sure what system anchor points 2-4 are in

[pliant notch]

what does the expedition even do

[barren creek]

You should be able to select the missions from the expedition tab in the pause menu.

[barren creek]

It's a limited time adventure with some special rewards.

[pliant notch]

is it worth doing if im still pretty new to the game

[remote sparrow]

can someone help with expeditions? literally no idea what im doing

[barren creek]

Maybe not, but there are still a few weeks left.

[pliant notch]

hmm. cool

[cunning raptor]

oh i can, but it just tells me to use the expedition route to find them, which i can't access.

[barren creek]

Go to the expeditions tab in the pause menu, complete the tasks in iteration 1, then iteration 2, then 3, etc.

[barren creek]

Go back to the starter system, the route should show up from there.

Hopefully.

[remote sparrow]

they are too vague

[cunning raptor]

nope, that's not a selectable option

[cunning raptor]

learning 3 words in each language isn't too vague. many are resolved if you check the pins.

i'm able to find anchor points 1 3 4 and 5 via player bases but not 2 oddly enough

[remote sparrow]

they phrase it weirdly...or maybe im just dumb idk

[cunning raptor]

some of them do get phrased a bit weird. i'm pretty dumb too, i only got as far as i did through a combination of blind trial and error and youtube vids

i stumbled on kill 20 sentinels totally by accident

all of iteration 1 can be summed up as: normal new game, but made quicker by the milestone rewards

[remote sparrow]

k

[cunning raptor]

with the addendum of oh yeah go to polo and give him the stuff he wants one time

[barren creek]

Then check the log after you've selected the item.

[static willow]

I think that’s the exact idea, to get new players into the game without so much of a slog

[cunning raptor]

you start with a freighter in this mode, more than you can say for any other mode

[static willow]

getting all the portal glyphs handed to you is amazing

[cunning raptor]

i should have gotten the portal glyphs

[static willow]

I already traded mine in for an S class small Venator

But yeah

You get the glyphs in milestone two

[pliant notch]

wait what

[pliant notch]

thanks! Starting it now lmfao

[static willow]

Good luck traveler! Make sure th check the pins here for invaluable information! apergos has some excellent info there

[cunning raptor]

I still need to find my way back to anchor point 2

[frosty pine]

System, Planet and coordinates of all anchor points are pinned in this channel

[cunning raptor]

ahh ty

[dry geyser]

how do rewards from expeditions work? can i get the rewards from the expedition into a current save?

[frosty pine]

Yea, just go to the quicksilver vendor

[dry geyser]

is that one of the vendors at the space station?

[frosty pine]

Yea the one to the right of the giant cube

[dry geyser]

cool, thx

[quick steeple]

so im new to the game, no clue what anything really means, but can i get carried through expeditions for the living ship?

[frosty pine]

You mean the living ship you get when you finish the expedition?

That's a frigate tho

It's not for you to pilot it

[past current]

Man, was 3 sections in and got killed on a stupid planet

second time I've died , is it worth doing it all again?

Do they make it easier and quicker in any way?

[frosty pine]

You can just focus in getting the iteration 5 done

[past current]

you mean 4 and 5? If i died on 3

[frosty pine]

||The game stops being permadeath after that||

No

You can do 5 without completing the others

You just need to complete the anchors

[past current]

oh snap

[cunning raptor]

just rush to anchor point 5

[past current]

but i still have to do all of the other stuff?

again is what I mean

[frosty pine]

Many things yea

[past current]

do the upgrades help in any way?

[frosty pine]

Things that rely on discoveries no

I think someone shared a list before

[past current]

I'll try that though, thanks for the advice

[frosty pine]

Ahh it's pinned

[cunning raptor]

I just ||used a duplicatiion glitch to max my inventory then used s rank memory fragments to deck my ship out, then rushed to poin 5||

[frosty pine]

A list with the persistence between deaths

[past current]

I hate that I lost all that progress on something like a crazy fire planet that wouldnt let me go 10 feet

a lot of the premade bases help a lot too

[cunning raptor]

oh yeah, players being super helpful in that regard.

[past current]

Also if that's your birth year thats mine too happy 31 this go around buddy

[frosty pine]

Or maybe i want to kill people 91 times 👀

[cunning raptor]

why you bully?

also we are getting off topic

[frosty pine]

Any point in storing the ||memory imprints, flute, resonator and dreadful wailing||? Or can i just discard all them

[tawny herald]

You can choose to keep them as mementos when the expedition ends.

[frosty pine]

Alright i will do as you said and trash them then 👀

Ty 😂

[tawny herald]

Mhm.

[frosty pine]

🤔

[static willow]

If only the user base would tell us how they really feel:

[frosty pine]

25% loop in one day

[tawny herald]

They probably said the same thing last time.

[static willow]

Some people can’t handle the perma

[frosty pine]

It's as easy as not dying 😂

You need to be a bit more careful than usual

[static willow]

“just don’t die, bro”

[gilded tiger]

I like that this expedition gives ppl a jump start, allowing ppl to play survival who otherwise might struggle. It's a great mode once you are deeper but the starting of survival can be off putting

[static willow]

Well put

[random berry]

Welp, expedition done I guess

[frosty pine]

Now start farming loop progress so we can get better memories 👀

[random berry]

I literally just got to polo to turn in the dust from the last freighter thing

[gilded tiger]

You can get role by posting pic in #nms-photomode-gallery and tagging a mod if that interests you

[frosty pine]

I think someone said you can do 20 daily polo quests towards the loop prog

[random berry]

Only 20 total or 20 for each type of memory thing

[frosty pine]

No idea how that works

[static willow]

Iirc 20 total

Further contributions will still give you a memory fragments but will not advanced the milestone

[frosty pine]

You can always just farm s class upgrades derelicts while getting dust and just doing that as a side thing 😂

So nanites+frigate mods+memories

[cunning raptor]

aka you need to not be stupid.

[floral dust]

I'm very happy to have finished it tonight 🙂

I ran out of ammo while on the lost freighter, that was a nail biter lol

[static willow]

I hate NMSCE sometimes

[topaz brook]

anyone noted having issues with starting the expedition?

friend of mine's game is crashing whenever he exits his ship after the first death

[tawny herald]

I ran through mine just fine.

I did freak out once until I realized I loaded my old Permadeath save.

[topaz brook]

i was able to reproduce the bug on a new save I made to test it as well

[indigo falcon]

are you with multiplayer enabled, those of you experiencing the crash?

if so, I would strongly recommend disabling it and trying again

[topaz brook]

apparently it's happening on save

[topaz brook]

no use

[past current]

Hey @frosty pine Can I ask a follow up to your method?

Should I purposefully do the loop memorry at each anchor point or save it for the end?

[frosty pine]

I didn't really use that method. I just did it in order without dying 😂

But i saw a video about that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWjhSPxj38w

[indigo falcon]

if you do the following: ||phase 1. memory at phase 2,3,4. phase 5|| then you can go back and do the rest ||like a normal survival save instead of OMG if I die I am so screwed|| 🙂

[terse olive]

alright ineed a system with easy derelict freighter

[indigo falcon]

and we have one

[frosty pine]

http://nmsportals.github.io/#1018FAAEBB5B

[indigo falcon]

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

[terse olive]

thanks guys. Also i didn't know Pirated tech was so good

i just buy it and then i open it and it surprises me

[past current]

@frosty pine But I thought you said you did duplicate inventory glitch and maxed out the ship?

[frosty pine]

No

[past current]

Either way I'm going to try it but just do the core memories with the anchor

[frosty pine]

I don't use glitchs nor editors 😂

[past current]

Oh my bad it was somebody replying

[topaz brook]

update: the first save just takes a minute or two

[indigo falcon]

a minute or two for what, sorry?

[frosty pine]

Probably have a not so high end pc and it takes some time to generate the save

[indigo falcon]

so the game isn't crashing per se, but just taking a long time to write out a restore checkpoint before resuming?

[topaz brook]

yes

only for that first save following a death

[topaz brook]

i'd call my PC mid-high end

got an SSD so save/load times aren't often an issue

[indigo falcon]

ok this is really great information, thanks for following up!

[topaz brook]

or, not sure if it's any death or just the first one

would need to verify

[indigo falcon]

sure

but in any case this gives us something to tell folks to try, i.e. wait 1-2 minutes and see if the game comes back

[static willow]

More

I wonder if that’s a network issue, rather than hardware

restricted NAT could cause issues with discovery services and permadeath

[indigo falcon]

how did they start an expedition save then?

ods must be working for that

[topaz brook]

dunno

didn't have any issues when I played through it myself

[indigo falcon]

any time I get through something like that with no game glitches I thank my lucky stars because there are sure enough of them... this time I had the freighter rendering glitch but only open areas beyond where I was standing (derelict, not my own) so moving slowly allowed the game to render in those missing areas, oof!

[terse olive]

thanks I cleared the expedition

|| I really thought i was going to die on that encounter with the leviathan||

[indigo falcon]

hey so: post screenshot in here and ping the moderators to get the role! (see pinned messages on what exactly to do)

[indigo falcon]

didn't we all!

[terse olive]

Thanks i will.

[final spindle]

ppl dont do nexus missions? O.o

[indigo falcon]

plenty of people do nexus missions. why do you ask?

[terse olive]

<@&590975379678953522> I did the thing

[indigo falcon]

and there it is 🙂

[final spindle]

was thinking that when you apply for a mission other ppl would join, like a party finder system

[ashen shore]

They can

If you opt for the mission and wait, other players can join if they pick the same mission

After everyone is ready the mission will start

[smoky meadow]

but its only people on the current instance though i think?

i have only gotten once a person to actually join after waiting

[final spindle]

but is it normal to take like 5mins to find one person?

[indigo falcon]

some times of day are slower than others

[final spindle]

ah ok

[indigo falcon]

I think when people in north america are online it's busier

[smoky meadow]

wait it actually finds people across anomalies?

[subtle meadow]

personally I wouldn't bother

[static willow]

How my expedition is going

[final spindle]

skyfall?

😄

[static willow]

The magic of photo mode

[gilded tiger]

Dayuumm, meanwhile I've seen two exotics in 100 hours on my main save 🥲

[indigo falcon]

if you spend time hanging around in t3 trading posts or space stations that number will increase 🙂

[final ivy]

Which are quickest to earn and trade in with Polo; Liquid Sun, Ancestral Memories or Sommal Dust?

[indigo falcon]

depends on you!

if you have some nice planet with herds, you can drop a pellet into the middle of the group and then harvest from each, wait the 20-30 seconds for the first one to be ready again, harvest them all again, etc.

if you have good stacks of sodium and a place with big deposits, that can be pretty fast

if you have derelicts with big loot and easy hostiles (we have portal glyphs for those) you can pick up lots of somnal on one run

so, pick your poison really

[final ivy]

Ah, fair enough then! Thanks for the in-depth explanation! I'm currently on a planet with Sodium deposits in the ground, so I can stack up thousands of Sodium and then switch to the Solar Ray so I think I'll stick with that one for now, appreciate the advice!

[wraith junco]

I think Combo of sun and memories. Build feeding farm in place with a lot of animals. Go gather liquid sun while farm gathers memories. Will try to set up a feeding farm today

[indigo falcon]

I would expect that memories can't be autoharvested but let us know if that turns out to work!

[wraith junco]

Ok. Is there any good planet with a lots o animals on expedition path?

[dusty pecan]

If you are looking for a large amount of turn ins the dust is pretty hard to beat

can easily get 1000+ per derelict and the dust is only 100 per turn in

and there is even a slower way to afk farm it

[smoky meadow]

is it possible to get killed by my own creature?

i died by as far as i can tell some invisible creature

[indigo falcon]

your companion will not attack nor kill you.

[smoky meadow]

multiplayer bug maybe then?

it happened right after i turned on multiplayer

[indigo falcon]

could be. make sure pvp off too

[dusty pecan]

pvp should be off by default

[wild scaffold]

I think it is

[halcyon stirrup]

I started a new save yesterday and PvP was on for me.

[indigo falcon]

in the expedition??

[halcyon stirrup]

Ah my mistake. I lost track of which channel I was in. No, it was a permadeath mode.

[indigo falcon]

ah ok, pvp on by default in regular games ( 😡 really hg??)

[fringe agate]

Explore, fight, trade, survive

[indigo falcon]

and get attacked by fellow travellers. mmm

[fringe agate]

Only the evil ones

[ashen turret]

If you ask the sentinels, all of them are

[indigo falcon]

who's asking those metal rustbuckets

[fringe agate]

Not me, I just ride around on them, I don't talk to them

[indigo falcon]

shoot first, ask questions never. I'm not usually a violent sort but in this case

[pure elm]

Hello again I will start up the game once more and hope my planetary charts will lead me to a crashed freighter lol

[indigo falcon]

there are user bases by them too

[pure elm]

Yeah, wanted to try and find my own though

[indigo falcon]

for sure

[pure elm]

I did actually find one at someone's base but the thing was underwater lmao

I also didn't have any fuel for the nautilus so I tried to reach the beacon in the old fashion way

That didn't work because I couldn't interact with it for whatever reason, and then I couldn't reach the surface for another whatever reason so I reloaded the save

And so imma try and find my own crash site lol

[indigo falcon]

on land is much easier

walk to beacon, interact, get milestone, done 😄

[pure elm]

Yep

I actually didn't even know you could find crashed freighters in the water

[remote thunder]

quite the atmosphere about them imo

often end up wishing i could turn back time to see its final moments

[pure elm]

Also I've found that it's apparently possible to get Pugneum Dreams without actually fighting any sentinels if you have access to a sentinel pillar (because the spawned ones getting auto destroyed apparently counts), and also my spaceship spawned inside of the pillar when I teleported

Gonna post a pic in screenshots because I can't post pics anywhere else yet, just hoping that it's not gonna auto kill my ship if I take off lol

[remote thunder]

uh, you might want to try to launch instead of exiting ship yeah

[pure elm]

Ummmm

I actually just

Exited my ship

Oops

[remote thunder]

lol

[pure elm]

Ok nvm I got out lol

[remote thunder]

stuck inside the building?

cool cool

[calm basalt]

Silly question likely but where do i find the log on the crashed freighters? i've done all the cargo pods but don't seem to have it

[ashen turret]

the thing that looks like a broken comm ball near the landing point

[calm basalt]

ah thanks

so many balls here form people putting notes on xd

[indigo falcon]

you don't need to look at even one cargo pod

just that round thing on a platform

[calm basalt]

ah, i already did them, oops, thanks for the info.

Just need an aggressive pet now

[ashen turret]

the planet you start on

[indigo falcon]

plenty of those on the starter planet 😄

the strider looking things for example

[calm basalt]

haha im long gone from there :<

[indigo falcon]

space stations will get you right back though

[smoky meadow]

expedition finished with 1:34 ingame time

[ashen turret]

unless you've been overzealous with warps should still be on the system list

[indigo falcon]

doing speed runs?

[smoky meadow]

finally finished a run xD

[indigo falcon]

you would have had to warp to over 70 systems and go to all of those space stations

[calm basalt]

I've just gone along the line then took 2 detours to speak to different "races"

[indigo falcon]

Rowland-Desk, go back there and your starter planet is Christole Oich or something like that, close enough anyhow

[calm basalt]

fantastic thanks

[smoky meadow]

<@&590975379678953522>

[barren creek]

Oh my.

[calm basalt]

I have 7 space stations on my list

[indigo falcon]

Rowland-Desk

look for that

[calm basalt]

it's not one of them.

Romestovot?

[indigo falcon]

too far

let's have the list

(sorry)

[calm basalt]

not at all 1 second

[indigo falcon]

screenshot it if you like

[calm basalt]

i cant post ill type it rea quick theres only 7

[indigo falcon]

ok ( #nms-photomode-gallery )

[pure elm]

Found a crashed freighter yay

[calm basalt]

Inamig Terminus, Zuruoka-Rakham, Yasayevo, Akushie, Romestovot, Weyland, Cebrac,Eliwyn

put it in screenshots too

[pure elm]

Waitwaitwaitwait

I just put down a computer so I could possibly return to the place later if I die

Apparently

There's another crashed freighter

[fringe agate]

Cebrac is the closest, it's Anchor point 1

[pure elm]

Right next to this one

[indigo falcon]

cebrac-eliwyn

then backtrack along that route to rowland-desk

[calm basalt]

great thanks

[wraith badge]

the other alternative is just start again 😛

[pure elm]

Yup that's two crashed freighters alright

[calm basalt]

haha no thanks

[indigo falcon]

we can set waypoints in the expedition, right?

[wraith badge]

and this time visit the station before leaving the system

[indigo falcon]

oh, nm, the system will show as visited in the galaxy map, should be able to free look and get there

[wraith badge]

it should have a circle around it

[calm basalt]

yeah i found roland desk now

[indigo falcon]

sweet

Christole Oich planet

[calm basalt]

and Chrstole Oich planet, nice

found that too

thanks so much

now 1 quick question, how do i get back to the station i was at before? so i don't have to warp along the line again

[final spindle]

is there a route or a path we can make to find alien multi tools?

[wraith badge]

Station teleporter

[ashen turret]

or use the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

go to space station in this system

then use its teleporter to go back to where you were

[calm basalt]

will it be down as previous station?

[indigo falcon]

oh, yes it should

[calm basalt]

great

thanks again, sorry not played for a good while!

[indigo falcon]

don't worry about it at all, that's part of why we are here

[austere lichen]

How do I find a crashed freighter, and how to disable sentinels from a planet

[calm basalt]

lmfao this pet is hilarious

[wraith badge]

Buy a chart, Distress signal one .... and via a Sentinal Pillar

[austere lichen]

Which chart do I use to find a sentinel pillar

[wraith badge]

kill sentinels and hope one drops a chart

[austere lichen]

From the cylinders

[indigo falcon]

recommend you buy 5 maps, open each one, if not the one you want, don't go there, if the map refuses to give anything, wait and try again, try a delay of 15 seconds or so between opening each map. "distress signal charts"

[wraith badge]

or check for bases that say they're at a pillar

[indigo falcon]

for maps for a sentinel pillar, you can get these from the killing 20 sentinels milestone

[austere lichen]

Alr thanks guys 👍

[indigo falcon]

farm drones at a building: leave triangle shaped ones alone so they can summon more, run inside when things get too hot, keep wanted level to 1 or 2

and only pick up (not shoot ever ) green barrels for shields when you have actually been hit, if you are fine leave the barrel for later

that's it

(or if you are great at whacking sentinels, just go to town, heh)

[calm basalt]

any tips for taking out the sentinel pillar xd?

[magic elbow]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818476698 finally managed to NOT die instantly amd actully finish phase 1

[ashen turret]

just interact with it

[magic elbow]

oh sadge steam screenshots dun embed here 😔

[calm basalt]

do i not need to blow the pillar control nodes first?

[smoky meadow]

just walk to the terminal and disabled sentinels

[calm basalt]

ah i see now, thanks

[indigo falcon]

shoot nothing, walk up, disable 😄 easy peasy!

[pure elm]

I just encountered a very, very bizarre bug

I approached a drop pod I got via drop pod data, but for some reason I kept getting pirate prompts

Paid up and they supposedly left me alone, then they contacted me again and again

Wondering if this is an expedition thing or nms being really weird as usual

[indigo falcon]

sounds like a bug

save reload

[pure elm]

I'll just reload because I've spent a bunch of credits

[indigo falcon]

oh yes, right

[pure elm]

For whatever reason, the pirate spam happens when I approach the marked drop pod

[indigo falcon]

they have no right to those credits!

[pastel glade]

hello, anyone to taxi me to planet where there is predatory animal to adopt?

[pure elm]

You have some on the starting planet if that helps

[pastel glade]

yeeeeeah, which one is that? 😄

[pure elm]

Christole Oich

[pastel glade]

will check it out

luckilly one of few space stations i bothered to visit 😄

[remote thunder]

@pastel glade please see <#nms-expedition message> cc @pure elm

[pure elm]

I just realized I said "credits" and not "units"

Must've had freelancer on my mind smh lol

[remote thunder]

(it's a pinned post here)

[pure elm]

Umm why did you ping me though?

[fringe agate]

Sorry, disabled that one here - last expedition we noticed the glyphs getting ran too often, and disrupting chat

[remote thunder]

for your awareness, in case you didn't know about it 🙂 (it also has station and system names)

[pure elm]

I didn't ask for it though xD

I was answering someone else's question

[remote thunder]

ok, i'll keep that in mind

(it was to make you aware of the pinned post existence, not because you didn't answer the question correctly)

[tribal notch]

how many times has everyone died on this expedition then?

[pure elm]

I must've forgotten about it, although still I felt it was simpler to elaborate on the planet I meant haha

[pure elm]

Twice. First time for the milestone, second time because I got yeeted into the air and forgot to jetpack as I fell down

[remote thunder]

personally? just the 1 needed for p1

[tribal notch]

do you play survival often then @remote thunder ?

[barren creek]

Once, just for the required death.

[tribal notch]

I'm not used to it at all. It's tricky

[remote thunder]

i'm well used to survival difficulty, yeah

[pastel glade]

thanks, was lucky that one spawned right next to me

[remote thunder]

besides, even on normal, harsh galaxies are my jam

[pastel glade]

worse now, how to get quickly crashed freighter site 😄

[tribal notch]

I'm still trying to play this as I normally do, and i'm being too precious about my cargo

so when i die it's like a gut punch

[remote thunder]

got minotaur+radar array (might have dropped from exo fragments?), use its quick menu > signal booster. if not, distress signal charts, buy a few, use them until you get a crashed freighter marker, don't visit non-crashed freightermarkers

[barren creek]

Buy ~5 distress signal maps and use them one at a time until you get a freighter one. You don't have to go to the ones that aren't freighters.

[tribal notch]

@pure elm that's how i just died for the 3rd time proper

threw me off a sodding cliff. Well annoyed.

[pastel glade]

hm i got some radar thing, good one, will try

i never did exoctafts properly, their handling is just bad 😄

[remote thunder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/878389328148037722/981691062181576745/20220528181110_1.png

[pure elm]

I had built a small hut around some whispering eggs and destroyed them, only for a horror to clip inside and push me out

Which caused me to get flung into the air

I pressed the esc button in panic and died while in the main menu

[tribal notch]

@pastel glade I can see NMS doing an overhaul at some point

[remote thunder]

they did improve minotaur a bunch

[tribal notch]

@pure elm that sucks

yes they have

[foggy cloak]

The best space rocket, change my mind

[pastel glade]

yeah, minotaur seems like only one not terrible tho

[remote thunder]

nah

[barren creek]

Driving the roamer is fun

[remote thunder]

roamer is amazing, so is nomad for its ability to float on water, colossus is a badass "tank" , pilgrim does wheelies on demand almost - and the signalbooster techs are so useful

[tribal notch]

once this expedition is done i might need to visit the exocraft

the nautilon is PAINFULLY slow though

[foggy cloak]

Not if you slap some s class Humbolt Drive modules

[tribal notch]

once this expedition is done I DEFINITELY need to revisit the exocrafts

[foggy cloak]

They are cool, also we should have a tech tab, imagine the minotaur with 6 s class thrust modules, yiu could go 200u per jump, and it replineshes almost instantly

[barren creek]

The minotaur is fun to drive, but it can destroy just about everything just by stepping on it... including storm crystals. I found that out of the hard way.

[pastel glade]

i guess i was VERY lucky

i got both the radar thing and AI

[remote thunder]

sweet

[pastel glade]

so i dont have to even summon it all over again, he just drops down behind me anywhere i land 😄

[tribal notch]

@pastel glade and he will not stop... ever...

[pastel glade]

tho out of 5 distress signals, all were ships 😄

[tribal notch]

where's the best place to get navigation data?

i've found a few on tables in space stations

and the occasional clusters of them on planets, but i can never actively find those

[pastel glade]

tbh, space stations was my best place to get them on my normal save

and HC one aswell

the fields on planets are rare

[tribal notch]

yeah they are, i've not seen any for a long time now

even on normal mode

actually that might be becuase i tend not to scour the landscape with the scanner as much as i used to

so i'm less likely to see them that way

sigh right. Back in I go for another attempt.

[pastel glade]

trying to get your crashed freighter aswell?

[tribal notch]

no i'm trying to live

lol

[barren creek]

What'd you die to?

[pastel glade]

oh great

i dropped out of ship

aaand im underground

if there wasnt the crashed freighter i'd drop to death

ahaa, it is underground, thats why i couldnt find it

[wraith junco]

Well bummer. You cant autoharverst memories from animals harvesters only collect milk nad other standard animal products

[magic elbow]

alright, so uhh... 2nd phase/iteration lioks like scawy, ill do the anchor point and memoryI later, rn imma go for freighter crash and whispering eggs, since they aren't too hard

I think whispering eggs are from phase 3 anyway

[meager sorrel]

When does the expedition end?

[magic elbow]

btw, if I finished phase #1, and I die, I auto-unlock alll those missions again right~?

[magic elbow]

5w from now iirc?

[minor breach]

||You can always skip just doing only anchor and grave and finish expedition then it won’t be permanent anymore ||

[minor breach]

3w I think

[minor breach]

Yeah they will be at vendor but you will have to redo the quests

[magic elbow]

ah I c

[meager sorrel]

Oh great, I was worried it was going to end before finals were over

[minor breach]

As long as you claim them

[magic elbow]

or I just git gud and do all missions withiut dying

[minor breach]

Sure that works too

[hardy gull]

Is the fifth anchor point underwater or something? Im so confused

[final spindle]

in a multi tool the higher the "Damage Potential" the higher damage i'm going to give to enemies?

[broken token]

Deutsche?

[pastel glade]

hm, there is amazing explorer in path of the 2->3 anchor point 😄

[jaunty cedar]

Does anyone have a spare void egg I could get?

[ashen shore]

For expedtion mode? Still, we got #nms-lfg-or-trades channel for that

[jaunty cedar]

Thank you! I'll move over

And yes for expedition

That's why I put it in this channel lol wasn't sure where to go

[final spindle]

in a multi tool the higher the "Damage Potential" the higher damage i'm going to give to enemies?

[jaunty cedar]

Potentially

[random berry]

am i better off selling black market goods at the space station or at a trading post on a planet?

[fringe agate]

Trading posts offer better deals usually, but I haven't smuggled any yet so not sure if it applies to those items.

[final spindle]

is EMeril Drive the upgrade version of Cadmium Drive or do i have to have both of them?

[ashen shore]

It's an upgrade

Cadmium allows you to warp to red star systems, Emeril - red and green, Indium - red, green and blue

[final spindle]

ok, wasnt sure if it would work like that

[ashen shore]

You can have just the higher tier installed, but you can have both for extra warp range

[final spindle]

🙂

[ashen shore]

If you care just about functionality, 1 higher tier drive is enough

[frosty pine]

And easily enough, you get the metal for the next drive each subsequent color

Cadmium in yellow systems, Emeril in red systems, and Indium in green systems

[ashen shore]

Uhhhm not quite

[frosty pine]

I mean that color and up

[ashen shore]

Cadmium is found in red star systems, Emeril in green, Indium in blue ones

But to craft Emeril drive you need Cadmium

And for Indium drive - emeril

[frosty pine]

I know 👀

[ashen shore]

Yeah you kinda mixed it up

[frosty pine]

I said that you get the metal for that drive in the previous system color

[final spindle]

well if i want to have a better chance at finding better weapons and ships its better if i get access to higher tier systems, right?

[ashen shore]

Also, this isn't really #nms-expedition talk, so these kinda questions belong more in general or #nms-questions

[final spindle]

ups

i was thinking that help was for for software issues with the game

*was more for

[frosty pine]

Most channels have the desired topic in the channel description

[final spindle]

ok tks

[random berry]

well thats interesting

an invincible sentinel ship

[thick moth]

Can sb tell me the name of the first anchor's solar system?

[ashen shore]

#nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

it's in the pins, along with much other good info!

[thick moth]

It tell's me that the Storm Crystals are in the 1st anchor system, but I forgot its name

[indigo falcon]

yeah there's a pin with all the names and glyphs and everything

just look at that one

but I'll edit the faq to add that info too, might as well

[thick moth]

@indigo falcon Great, I found my Storm Crystals! TYVM 🙏

[indigo falcon]

you are very welcome, go forth and break the loop, traveller!

Hi Apergos, Rice above is asking about this post. See message above <#nms-expedition message>

[indigo falcon]

hey! I wonder what that originally said, heh

anyways the correct info is: that bug is fixed, period.

[sturdy creek]

uh, yeah but I .. either am not understanding how it works or I messed up a choice?

[indigo falcon]

so I updated the pin to reflect that. the weird sentence left over is likely when I was trying to figure out how to edit and insert a line feed and failing (foundout later)

[indigo falcon]

tell me what happened.

spoiler tag anything that seems like it's a reveal.

[sturdy creek]

|| well I met the subject matter of the expedition, talked to it , apologized, died, reloaded and that was it, woke up on a planet and nothing had changed but the completion of the expedition objectives ||

Reloaded, exited the game, still the same scenario

[indigo falcon]

ok so: had you ||completed all 5 phases||?

[sturdy creek]

|| no, two missing, crystals and sentinel pillar on iteration 3 and 4, working on those right now. I thought you got the thing after the Lev Milestone on Iteration 5 ?||

[indigo falcon]

No! you are now ||fre from reset of milestones if you did what you did|| but you need to complete any missing milestones before you can claim the end of expd reward

[sturdy creek]

oic

[indigo falcon]

so just go do those ones now and you'll be all set

[sturdy creek]

ty then : ) my mistake

[indigo falcon]

no worries! thanks for catching the weird leftoveer cruft in the pinned message too

[sturdy creek]

anytime : D

[fiery tartan]

im new here, trying to get the leviathan badge. if i cant send the screenshot here do i dm a specific mod? or will anyone do?

[indigo falcon]

yes you can do that absolutely

[gilded tiger]

You can DM mod or post in #nms-photomode-gallery

[indigo falcon]

or post in #nms-photomode-gallery and ping the moderators

[fiery tartan]

aah i see

ty

[indigo falcon]

you bet!

[sturdy creek]

ey got the thing, thanks!

[indigo falcon]

now get the role for here!

[sturdy creek]

print of the last screen yea?

ty!

[wraith venture]

Note that we've updated the channel so proof of expedition completion may be posted here by members who don't yet have Familiar role.

!LeviathanRole

[unkempt kraken]

Leviathan role is manually assigned, when you DM or ping <@&590975379678953522> in #nms-expedition with proof of completion: screenshot of the Expedition tab: Final Phase: 5/5 completed. See example »

If you don't have proof, the role will be self-assignable in #roles at a later date.

[indigo falcon]

nice!

[woeful niche]

I have seen multiple times that after an Expedition is over/closed it is converted to a Normal save. I have never understood what this means. All my Expedition saves still show as Community Expedition.
Can someone explain?

[indigo falcon]

when you go load in one of those saves now to play it, the game will ask you if you would like to convert it to normal mode

then you may continue to play it

only happens if you load in after the expedition has finished the time slot

[woeful niche]

Hmm. I will check it out. Thanks

[indigo falcon]

sure!

did you finish expd7?

[frosty pine]

I suppose we lose all the expedition related recipes like ancient memories right?

[indigo falcon]

you probably won't be able to harvest new ones

liquid sun is already in the game but has a low unit value

somnal dust will probably not be a loot item on freighters

[frosty pine]

Oh sry, wrong item name.

I meant memory fragments

[indigo falcon]

oh!

I wonder what crating them will give us. I can't imagine the blueprint will stop working but maybe it will revert back to C 😄 we'll find out

[ashen shore]

IIRC Cursed Dust from expedition 4 could still be found in Normal mode on expedition save

[indigo falcon]

we couldn't find it in the wild but it is now a ... reward for some pirate missions? or something like that

it was added (back) in with Outlaws

[dusty pecan]

Yeah I see it regularly as a reward from pirate station missions

[static willow]

Still want to know what happens when they go to X

no more regular tech?

[subtle meadow]

you don't have to collect the reward

[ashen turret]

the ONLY thing I'd consider using X for is hazard protection mods tbh

specifically the ones that give resistances

[dusty pecan]

The X modules were massively buffed

well worth using now

[sleek sinew]

Have storm crystals been made rarer in this expedition or am i just very unlucky?

[sacred laurel]

You're just unlucky... I just spent the last hour harvesting some 100'ish storm crystals.

[sleek sinew]

Any particularly good tips? The few Ex-storm planets i've found were either mountainous as hell or ocean worlds, and i'm unsure if they can spawn on rough terrain or underwater.

[sacred laurel]

check out Ash-Shrouded planets, thats were I just was.

if you're not having much luck in the system you're in. leave for a new one.

[dusty pecan]

[sleek sinew]

Duly noted.

ty

[static willow]

See the pins. ‘Mapan VIII’

Iirc it’s in the first anchor system / Cebrac-Eliwyn or whatever it’s called

[sleek sinew]

Ye i was told to.

[sleek sinew]

^

[static willow]

lots of bases with “storm crystals” or the like in the names

[dusty pecan]

Could allso wait and do it at anchor 4 planet if you feel like "some" extra challenge

[fluid crag]

Is it only me or does it feel like the community goal stuff is really going slow?
I am farming animals and sun stuff to bring to polo but the numbers haven't changed much in the last days..

[dusty pecan]

Yeah there is a daily cap of 20 turn ins per player

and the amount of turn ins needed per stage is in the millions

[fluid crag]

So we have to hope that we will finish it or else we will not be able to complete the expedition?
Great.

[fringe agate]

No

Besides it went up 38 percent in the last 24 hours

!tier

[unkempt kraken]

@fringe agate Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[fringe agate]

Eat me

Lol

The nerve

[fluid crag]

I really would like the whale for the fleet.
Let's hope we will be able to complete it together

[dusty pecan]

the community milestones aren't required for completing the expedition

[fluid crag]

I finished everything else but I can finish 4 and 5 because the help polo thing is still open.

Can't

[dusty pecan]

you don't need to claim those to claim the leviathan

[fluid crag]

I thought I only get it at the end of the expedition with all milestones done.

[dusty pecan]

yeah you can get it as soon as you finnish all the non optional milestones

the quicksilver merchant on the anomaly provides the leviathan and other expedition rewards for your other saves

[fluid crag]

Nice.
I will check it out some time later.
I really hate that I can't go into my normal game to check on my settlement just because I don't want to loose the progress of the expedition.
I am okay with reset after death but after a reload is stupid.

[dusty pecan]

?

there is nothing stopping you from play other saves mid expedition too

there is no reset after a reload

[fluid crag]

Every time I reload my safegame I start at 0

[barren creek]

you can play your normal save while you have an expedition save...
if it reset every time you reloaded, then you would have to complete the expedition in one session.

[barren creek]

how far into the expedition do you get before reloading?

[fluid crag]

I have everything done I can do myself, just waiting for the community goals.

[barren creek]

So you've completed it?

[fluid crag]

I can't play other games on the Ps4 or start Disney plus.
Everything that closes the game kills my progress

I was almost done and then the patch came and restarted the game and I had to do it all again.

[barren creek]

that sounds like a pretty big issue

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[dusty pecan]

yeah some real weird shit is going on with your game

[fluid crag]

I thought that is how you are supposed to play it.

[barren creek]

Nope.

It's supposed to be able to save and let you come back, not reset every time you quit.

[fluid crag]

Strange.

[barren creek]

Yeah.

[fluid crag]

I guess I should report that.

[dusty pecan]

Might be worth reinstalling the game or verifying game files if that is possible on playstation

[fluid crag]

I will try that.

If you can finish the expedition without the community goals, why would we want to finish them?

[dusty pecan]

They are more of something to give some help to those who are having issues with the perma death aspect

[fluid crag]

Ah, yes I understand.

So... Downloading the files right now.
I am hoping that will fix it. 😊👍
Thanks for your help.

[dusty pecan]

yeah if you were on PC i'd tell you to make manual backup of save files too

but duno if that is possible on console

[cerulean olive]

it is possible on PS4/5. Upload them to the cloud.

[fiery tartan]

playstation also stores the data on local drives, so if you're just reinstalling the game files themselves, and not all of the data, you won't lose it

[finite wind]

What do you do to assit polo with loop progression? I see the bar in the menu but....?

I'm at the end of loop 4 and want to get that reward if I'm able to do so

[sturdy creek]

I think that's a collective thing

[finite wind]

Ah gotcha

Tyvm

[sturdy creek]

but the rewards are worth it so keep at it

[barren creek]

Collect liquid sun, ancestral memories, and/or somnal dust and give them to polo. The optional milestones are community-driven ones that take a while to complete, so don't expect it to finish it quickly.

[finite wind]

Cool :) I've been giving him all I have but I wasn't 100%. Tyvm

[barren creek]

well... changing memory fragments from S to X rank might not be

[frosty pine]

Is atlas path not working correctly on the expedition? 🤔

I just found 2 interfaces and then stopped finding them

[dense basin]

The X rank modules have been really, really good in the expedition. In my current playthrough, I've had exactly 1 be less good than an S class, and I have gone through a LOT of them (I love me some piratical behaviour). Shields at 36%, scanners at 10,000%, +20% damage modifiers... they're just bonkers.

[brave rain]

How does the community/optional milestones work on the expedition?

[barren creek]

The more that people help polo research the loop, the closer it gets to the milestone.

[brave rain]

Thanks

What happens when the milestone is reached?

[barren creek]

What the milestone says. For the 4th one, memory fragments will be changed to X class and you get a few memory fragments.

[brave rain]

Thanks

Also does anyone know when the expedition ends?

[barren creek]

[brave rain]

Thanks

[warped owl]

What planet has liquid sun?

[native bloom]

Any planet. You use a multitool module to convert metals to liquid sun

[warped owl]

Oh

Ty

[dense basin]

Be sure to take a pile of sodium with you - you'll need to recharge the multi-tool with it a lot.

[native bloom]

Great advice. It's odd that you have to recharge with sodium, so not intuitive, and it does take a ton

[stray gale]

So, no problem FINDING the whispering eggs. How do I harvest them?

Like, how do I get them without dying horribly? These things killed me while I was in a Minotaur...

Hold up. I have to start over upon dying? But, I have to collect larval cores. How are we supposed to do this?

[wraith badge]

there's a few ways ... tunnel under them and then harvest the eggs or place a base computer then surround each egg cluster with walls, you then jump in and harvest them and then jetpac out to the roof of the building and then drop in to another cluster ... or harvest an egg on one side of the building then jetpac over the roof to the other side and harvest one there, not sure if you have to wait for the swam to subside before you get another egg as I prefer the base computer method

[fluid crag]

Some players have already build bases around egg clusters that can be farmed without danger.
Just look for bases in systems along the way of the expedition.
Most of them have it in their name.

[stray gale]

Well, I don't have to worry about it for a while now. The things killed me, and I had to start over.

[fluid crag]

But yes, I don't know if it is an expedition thing but the monstrosities even attack my ship and did actual damage to it.

[stray gale]

This permadeath mechanic is frustrating as hell.

[fluid crag]

Yes, even though it gets easier now with s memories.

[stray gale]

What does that actually do? I'm not noticing much difference.

[wraith badge]

you want to try spending hours playing a PD save and then dying to some silly bug and the save being wiped ... now that's frustrating.

[stray gale]

Yeah, that's why I don't normally play permadeath. The game is too buggy for it. Most games are too buggy for permadeath. Get trapped in geometry and have to lose all progress isn't my idea of fun.

[frosty pine]

Idk why people have so much problems with those eggs 👀

I just picked them up, pew pew on the aliens, and that's it

Just using the default boltcaster

I think they die in 1 or 2 bursts

[indigo falcon]

they do respawn right away, first off. and second if you happen to get hit right away from one, you can be sent up into the atmosphere quite a ways, or just take plenty of damage from a few right on you. it's partially luck where exactly they spawn in and if they hit you instantly

[static willow]

So I’ve done a little warping on this expedition

[indigo falcon]

black hole travel much?

[static willow]

Like there’s no tomorrow

Just found my new first contact home for this expedition save in Eissentam!

[indigo falcon]

looks pretty nice. how's the weather?

[static willow]

Perfect

“Trozen” not frozen

Just going to make sure there are no harsh predators

[indigo falcon]

looks like a great place (except for those pesky sentinels but they really are crawling all over the place in survival mode, heh)

[static willow]

None of the white titles matter

[indigo falcon]

yeah would be a drag to get all settled in and then here come the red paws

[static willow]

They all have the same behavior
