Which rank?
#nms-expedition
shy narwhal
indigo falcon
sorry?
minor breach
Which rank?
S class
ashen shore
[pok
shy narwhal
It's comes with S class right away?
That's nice
I've been building my all support frigates fleet. Still mostly B and C
minor breach
Why
shy narwhal
With the freighter upgrade there's not much point in getting anything else
I can get to 150 with 5 B class frigates
minor breach
I can get to 150 with an 2 S and a C
shy narwhal
Well yes eventually I'll get there ;)
minor breach
Fair enough
indigo falcon
run away from them to the anomaly
astral storm
Ah, finally I can scratch the deactivation of a sentinel force off of my bucket list. Did it the old-fashioned way too. Fun fight, ngl.
indigo falcon
woo hoo! now you got the map too for the pillar
tulip atlas
why are activated planets so hard to find for some reason
astral storm
Yeah well, I got one pillar marked after the fight and have a map left actually
tulip atlas
i say as i find one.
nvm i dont see any storm crystals on it
it has activated copper ,
astral storm
Well... is there an extreme storm ongoing?
indigo falcon
well if you want storm crystals see the pins, "mini-faq"
astral storm
Eh... can't say I had any trouble at all spotting loads of them with the scanner on foot at least. Huh.
tulip atlas
is it just becuz its an activated paradise planet,
indigo falcon
not all planets with extreme storms have storm crystals
it's a good indicator but not perfect
same with activated metal
indigo falcon
anyways like I say a world is in the mini-faq that has them
indigo falcon
doesn't matter
note the space station name
go to space station, go to the first anchor space station, fly down and do the thing
then return via space station to the current system
tulip atlas
ok e.
indigo falcon
teleporters are there for a reason and it's not for npc convenience 😄
calm flax
Yeah. We need to be able to teleport like the npc do. When I buy a ship they teleport without a teleporter. At least I'd like to teleport back to the freighter. Make it like teleporting to my settlement.
tulip atlas
time to wait a bit for a storm
calm flax
I like to keep plenty of launch fuel and fly around to the storm crystals. That way I can pick out places with multiple storm crystals instead of just going to the closest ones. I also like to use an exotic.
Unless I'm just out to have fun then I'll run around getting them.
tulip atlas
Now I gotta find an abandoned building so I can get easy whispering eggs
indigo falcon
woo hoo!
indigo falcon
d'oh!
tulip atlas
i dont think they saw it comin
I just gotta figure out how to get them safely without dyin
Which idk how to really do
Do I jus loot the egg and get into my ship and wait a bit or
indigo falcon
ok there are afew strategies
one: get on the roof. shoot one egg on one side of building, while the horrors are over thre go to other side, shoot eggs, grab larval cores, continue until they come around to you
then go to roof, go to first side again
this assumes you have decent jetpack
repeat until you get the 10 eggs
second strategy
put a base computer
put 4 walls around each set of eggs, no roof
put walkway between each set of walls, at the height of the top of the walls
shoot one egg in one walled area, from top of roof, wait for the horrors to be forced outside the walls
onyx beacon
or just break open the egg take the larval core and kill he monstrosities
indigo falcon
go in shoot the rest one at a time, grab cores, jetpack to walkway, go to next, hop in, shoot, grather, repeat until done, go to roof, wait for subside
smoky meadow
or just break open the egg take the larval core and kill he monstrosities
even loot and run is better than doing that
indigo falcon
there's another method with tunneling but that's more hit or miss imo
tulip atlas
You sure I cant just hide in my ship
onyx beacon
don’t care+didn’t ask+ratio+counter ratio+touch some grass+no life+stay mad+no bitches
tulip atlas
This ain't twitter
indigo falcon
You sure I cant just hide in my ship
you'd have to make it there each time, and wait for swarm to subside after evry egg, and have grabbed the larval core withotu protection while the horrors spawn next to you. mmmm
onyx beacon
is faster to not kill them and just grab the larval cores
It is faster
onyx beacon
I do everything the hard way
tulip atlas
you'd have to make it there each time, and wait for swarm to subside after evry ...
ive done way worse imma be honest
onyx beacon
I mean it is a way, it’s just the harder way
indigo falcon
what you want to try, it's up to you
smoky meadow
I mean it is a way, it’s just the harder way
its harder to not kill them, then you have to dodge
indigo falcon
that's going to make grabbing the larval cores fast a lot harder
you could try locating another building
tulip atlas
I'm doing the base computer thing
minor breach
I grab them hop in Minotaur and then jump away to the next larval core
tulip atlas
Jus I got the walls and idk what exactly to make
indigo falcon
just the walls and the floor panels
you can see it's plenty wide so you aren't walking on the outside edge where they can spit at you
that's pretty much it

ah sorry about that
strange zinc
naw man, don't skip em rescues, they are like real easy and you get a Salvaged Frigate Module, and you need like 50 of those things just for the freighter matter beam
still haven't gotten it... but hey, every bit counts
smoky meadow
that sounds like a horrible grind
umbral forum
You'll probably manage to end the expedition before you get all those modules.
The phases already provide a lot of inventory slots.
smoky meadow
the amount of inventory slots actually needed for the expedition isnt very high also
tulip atlas
@indigo falcon I found another abandoned one
smoky meadow
well though after i was done with the expedition i had a solar ship with maxed general slots, and almost maxed general on exosuit
tulip atlas
so kinda like this right
indigo falcon
mm
4 walls around each set
not bigger like that one
they shouldn't snap (the walls) to each other or anything
indigo falcon
orient a wall near a set of the eggs to be right up against the cluster, put the other three walls. do the same for all the other little groups. then you can start with the walkway
it's ok if you free place parts of the walkway where it's goign to overlap with the walkway coming from another cluster and stuff
it doesn't have to be pretty, just to work
tulip atlas
id k,
indigo falcon
yeah that, do it around each set
umbral forum
Is it worth all that work for some larval cores?
indigo falcon
milestone without dying? yes I guess it is
tulip atlas
Think I got it set up
strange zinc
I just run around and melee/laser them and pick them up as I run by
indigo falcon
more walkway connecting
strange zinc
once the prompt starts, you can just keep moving
indigo falcon
you should be able to walk from anywhere to anywhere and on the inside path away from the outside edge
inside = next to the building
look at the picture from the reddit post as to the walkways
umbral forum
once the prompt starts, you can just keep moving
I guess for beginners, those spawns can be challenging, but once people get the ingame experience, they are kinda laughable.
tulip atlas
These 3 give me 10 I dont need more.
indigo falcon
do one more because you'll lose at least 1 or 2
the larval cores sometimes disappear into the ground without giving you the chance to grab.
tulip atlas
So much setup for just 1 quest
smoky meadow
i have seen a setup thats just making a huge walls around one, then breaking one inside there and all the monstrosities get stuck inside letting you collect the others ones
smoky meadow
its fine i have only seen it on a video
tulip atlas
uh,
indigo falcon
frickin awesome
smoky meadow
i do feel like monstrosities dont care what a wall is, makes me surprised the small 4 walls design works
indigo falcon
i do feel like monstrosities dont care what a wall is, makes me surprised the sm...
me too and yet it repeatedly does
tulip atlas
Used a save point
indigo falcon
good!
tulip atlas
Jus shoot the egg try to pick up and etc?
indigo falcon
no
the very first egg, you might shoot from the walkways and let the horrors spawn in and get properly placed by the game
after that hop in,
shoot eg, grab core, shoot egg, grab core, repeat until that set is done
jetpack up, run to next, hop in,
shoot egg, grab, shoot egg, grabd...
indigo falcon
repeat until you are done, then top of building and wait for swarm to subside
you won't
horrors will initially spawn inside and then be forced outside by the game
umbral forum
You can basically crack open an egg on one side of the building and just run over to the opposite side and collect those with the monstrosities still trying to catch up with you.
indigo falcon
the whole deal here is that the horrors do not stay with you inside these tiny walled areas
they are forced out of the walled in spaces by the game
tulip atlas
so ig theyre outside the walls while i am in or
indigo falcon
yes
smoky meadow
they wont 1-hit you so you can always jetpack back up
though you shouldn't even get hit
indigo falcon
you got them all??
tulip atlas
Ye
indigo falcon
woo hoo!
hey name the base something nice once the swarm has completely gone, and upload it
others can use it that way
tulip atlas
I found a gek one lol
indigo falcon
oh another one then, nice!
tulip atlas
It's in a system called noglent
indigo falcon
not near any anchor point or starting system?
indigo falcon
ok, noted!
tulip atlas
Relatively
indigo falcon
thanks for the info and go smuggle!
smoky meadow
thats nice info, i had to go all the way back to Toympiae III when i did the expedition
had saved station at anchor 1 thankfully
indigo falcon
I go to every single space station for that reason
quick travel, never know when you'll need it
(plu suit slots too)
smoky meadow
on my first expedition attempt i did the jumps with no hyperdrive upgrades,would had gotten so many upgrades stopping every station xD
indigo falcon
same here, second time through I was able to skip a lot of cruft 😄
tulip atlas
meanwhile the nanite prices for s tier modules
smoky meadow
i learned, stopped at the black market and got some nice x-class hyperdrive upgrade
you can get x-class modules from the illegal technology something at the vendor there
indigo falcon
sweet! tomorrow at this time other players will be able to start using it
I hope it has eggs or something in the name 😄
tulip atlas
Ye
indigo falcon
what's next then?
indigo falcon
phase 5?
tulip atlas
Ye
indigo falcon
ok
get one good cold protection after you do the anchor point ad the memory
one good shield would be nice too, more if possible
tulip atlas
why so
indigo falcon
derelict
indigo falcon
then make some memory fragments and open them
sell them and get a cold one
or maybe you'll get one from them
indigo falcon
pugneum in chistor-olev, you can buy it. silver in romestovot for memory fragments
no, buy actual upgrades from the exosuit vendor on a space station
if you don't get one out of the memory fragmetns
indigo falcon
you should be selling off the useless ones for nanites
oh already? uhhhh
welp
use all the heaters then
did you do the anchor 5 and memory loop already??
tulip atlas
Ye
smoky meadow
make sure you are loaded on ion batteries
tulip atlas
I got like 80 batteries
indigo falcon
I guess you're gonna do it then
there are heaters in various places in each room, watch for the drones and the turrets
indigo falcon
ah nm then
tulip atlas
This time I dont
indigo falcon
you can do it without
batteries and heaters, there's no infested on the derelict in system 5
just turrets and drones
indigo falcon
you need to get to the third terminal, I think you don't even have to interact with the other two (but get some somnal dust, loot a couple crates til you get some, > 32 units of it)
indigo falcon
huh?
tulip atlas
The employee log things
indigo falcon
oh
indigo falcon
huh?
indigo falcon
did you not give 5 sets to polo of things?
tulip atlas
Only once ,
indigo falcon
one set
ok
options: run more derelicts, you have an erb
or: buy some sodium, mine despoits on a not icky world with the solar ray
you need 250? I think for each set of that
or collect memories from animals
indigo falcon
toss a pellet into a herd, harvesst memories by interact and choose that
wait 30-45 seconds, do them all again, repeat until you have stacks
how much dust did you end up with?
tulip atlas
192 
indigo falcon
give in 100, you need 32 for the blueprint (you got that right?)
indigo falcon
ok
so yeah, if you give in the one stack then you only need 3 more gifts
buy couple stacks sodium and mine any deposit on a world that doesn't suck
solar ray needs sodium to charge, I think you set the diameter of the beam to largest (unlike terrain manip)
get 250 * 3? turn those in, done
tulip atlas
It eats at your sodium
indigo falcon
yeah that's why to buy a couple stacks
tulip atlas
I got the flute tho
tulip atlas
The polo one ye
indigo falcon
ok
indigo falcon
how about deposits?
tulip atlas
Ye
indigo falcon
sweet
indigo falcon
lemme find
tulip atlas
Imma jus do another derelict
tulip atlas
I assume I can jus do it in the same system
tulip atlas
At least I'm almost done
indigo falcon
don't rush it now 😄
indigo falcon
300 somnal? 200? whatever, go get!
tulip atlas
I got 3/5
indigo falcon
200 then. but more if ya wanna
tulip atlas
No I just got on derelict
indigo falcon
oh 😄
tulip atlas
Got 200 now
indigo falcon
sweet
tulip atlas
Exactly 200
tulip atlas
indigo falcon
so... what's happening, traveller?
tulip atlas
I fuckin died
indigo falcon
wheeeennn?
tulip atlas
Now
indigo falcon
ok but how?
tulip atlas
I completed the expedition
indigo falcon
🎉
get the role! post screenshot, ping mods, or dm a mod with it!
(see pins for details)
indigo falcon
yes!!
I think Spirit might be off line or do not disturb, maybe RedHot or Phrog for a dm, or just ping moderators like the pin says
indigo falcon
um. also marked as off line/do not disturb 😄 just read the top pin, for real
tulip atlas
I mean gleam is fren so ,
tulip atlas
Have gn,
indigo falcon
have a good time exploring the galaxies!
tulip atlas
Thanki
autumn halo
Big thanks to the user(s) who set up "Unit Farmer" base in the main system (Carbon and refiners were very helpful, oh and units, too) and "Whispering Eggs" - very clever design on that last one made getting that milestone a breeze.
Having completed a permadeath run already a few months back, this expedition wasn't so bad (never died other than the required time), but I imagine it'd be pretty rough for people new to the game or coming from Normal.
remote thunder
not the owner, but i can appreciate your sentiment. it's a great community for sure, proud to be a part of it
autumn halo
I love seeing the clever base designs some people come up with, very impressive.
remote thunder
oh yeah, for sure, especially when my bases are just shacks or outdoor 😄

frosty pine
Guess is time for some sentinel farming to craft some memories 😂
barren creek
Goodness lol
frosty pine
👀
Good enough for 15 mins 😂
Now the tedious part. Opening them and praying that i get something useful
minor breach
Jesus
autumn halo
I got pretty lucky with mine during the expedition - ended up with 3 x S-Class upgrades for the multi-tool's Neutron Cannon (which I'd never used before and is actually pretty good) as well as my ship's Positron Ejector. Didn't need to do any grinding at all.
frosty pine
I want to get neutron, but i didn't have any luck at all there
Got a nice pulse spitter build tho 😂
autumn halo
I keep meaning to give the pulse spitter a serious try, but somehow I always end up with a scatter blaster instead 😛
In normal/survival saves, that is, not this expedition.
onyx beacon
Neutron cannon is really good against players
autumn halo
I only play single player, so I wouldn't know about that, but it's pretty good against sentinels and derelict freighter inhabitants, too.
frosty pine
It doesn't work with the sentinel farming i was doing tho
autumn halo
The AoE is especially nice when there are lots of enemies, though I think I still prefer the Scatter Blaster.
frosty pine
Splash damage is a no go
autumn halo
Why's that?
frosty pine
Because you want summoners alive
autumn halo
Ah, right, that makes sense.
I'm usually just trying to blow everything up as fast as possible and get the heck out of Dodge, as it were, lol.
blissful raft
how are people building base computers so close to each other? im trying to make one somewhat near an anchor point
frosty pine
Probably they built before actually knowing there was another base there
dense silo
any tips for completing a few of the missions in expedition? its my first permadeath game and id hate to die this late into it
blissful raft
but when I try to place one even pretty far away I get "within existing base cannot place"
wary pasture
I just had that same base placing issue.
I just chose a direction and ran held it open like to place til it turned green and clicked ok.
blissful raft
damn, ok ill just try that
dense silo
how do yall find a planet for the anchor mission?
blissful raft
you can follow the "expedition" path in the galaxy map
it will be in a system with a yellow marker on it
dense silo
does it say something specific to know which planet is infected?
blissful raft
the anchor planet will have a purple marker on it I think, just keep that objective as the focus in your log
wary pasture
The 2nd anchor is infected.
blissful raft
oh yeah, you wanna do the base on infected part prob
I did a diff planet for that one I think
dense silo
right on. i may have questions later on cause i am missing bits and bobs from iteration 3 and 4.
then all of 5 lol
wary pasture
I've just been dropping one on every anchor. For safe keeping ofc not building much since there's so much available from other players.
Allg I'm still way early on I'm on anchor 2 doing these things as we speak really. Egg collecting next, ugghh
blissful raft
im on 3 but I want to get the mech suit up and running so ill prob be side tracked trying to get nanites for the advanced warp core recipe you need for it
wary pasture
Ooo noice I hope that goes smooth for you.
I'm uh just trying to stay calm and keep everything as peaceful as possible. Been a roller coaster so far already. 😅
dense basin
im on 3 but I want to get the mech suit up and running so ill prob be side track...
Do you mean the minotaur?
blissful raft
yeah
dense basin
it doesn't use warp cores
blissful raft
well I need it to repair the engine part
dense basin
how did you break the engine?!
frosty pine
The expedition gifts you the minotaur 🤨
blissful raft
idk whenever i summoned it the first time two thigs where broken
I know, I summoned the free one
dense basin
That should not have happened. If you're still in a position to reload, I would
blissful raft
no that was way back
frosty pine
So maybe you used it in combat
blissful raft
Ive never even taken one step in it
frosty pine
Parts can break if it receives damage
dense basin
I'd use a repair kit instead
blissful raft
literally as soon as i dropped the bay for it on the planet surface two things were damaged
hmm ok ill look that up
dense basin
You can get those from suspicious goods packages, from scrap dealers, sometimes direct from outlaw vendors, and from the supply bin on a derelict freighter
blissful raft
ok thx
dense basin
Sus goods packs can also drop warp cores
strange zinc
man... I know I gotta turn the sonmal dust in, but that stuff takes a while...
like, I wish I could turn it in like in bulk, you know?
very tedious, not looking forward to using my... 2.5k dust?
low gulch
Anyone need help with the expedition?
I'm close to ending the expedition
On the 5th anchor
strange zinc
ah, good for you
have you done the rest of the stuff? You know, smuggling, killing sentinels, that stuff?
strange zinc
I finished like a couple days ago
I think it was around when we were working on the third optional milestone?
thankfully I'm not gunho with my playstyle, so I died... I guess 1 extra above the needed amount
didn't get the iteration/repeat first time, so woop
wary pasture
Same. 3deaths and then I got the idea ok, might really get going now. 😅
But mine were all to the game mode being a bit more advanced.
blissful raft
ok I got the minotaur up and running, no weapons yet though
wary pasture
Good to hear
blissful raft
how are you guys going about getting nanites in this
indigo falcon
most folks have used the minotaur just for getting around (hazard protection), not needing weapons
wary pasture
I'm just hitting buildings like the mini settlements. How they have the little collections of nanites inside.
I've not yet taken time to get into a big nanite source.
blissful raft
I guess I could try ship flipping, not sure how much cash to have to start
wary pasture
Been told to sell exocraft modules though.
blissful raft
ive got like 5.8mil
indigo falcon
there's some planets on the route that are easy to scan all the fauna (not too many fauna, no rare underwater/underground ones); I did one of those. and I sold off dup or unwanted (underwater) upgrades and prepacked stuff from memory fragments.
that made it very easy to clear the 2k nanites
I wound up with probably 20k nanites mostly from memory fragment selloffs really. plus a few salvaged glass drops
wary pasture
Nicee I forget about salvage glass.
But ye even just chipping away slowly you'll end up meeting goal. I'm around 1000 at the second anchor. I'd have to glance to see exact.
idle pewter
how do you convert ur save when you finish
wind sleet
Automatically after end of expedition
wind sleet
Sure
idle pewter
alright cool
indigo falcon
when the 6 weeks are up, anyone that loads into their save file will get a pop-up to covert it
for now, yeah, biuld out the save, or put down bases to help other players on the route, or turn in materials to Polo, whatever you like
idle pewter
still gonna be permadeath right?
indigo falcon
it will convert to a survival mode save at the end of the 6 weeks
indigo falcon
if you completed the expedition, you have "broken the loop" so death is just like on survival mode now
idle pewter
ah alright
indigo falcon
the inflated costs are an expedition special feature, nothing to do with survival mode
idle pewter
so just wait it out i guess?
indigo falcon
you'll just have to live with those for now 😄
autumn halo
Or farm memory fragments for all your upgrades - you'll get upgrades you need or plenty of stuff to sell for nanites that way.
idle pewter
alright
autumn halo
I don't plan on continuing with this save, though, so I was happy to finish with the minimum needed.
Lol, wow, I had maybe 10 unopened exocraft at the end - you've been putting in some work!
indigo falcon
I spent some nanites on a cold protection and a couple shields for the derelict, then didn't need them as I was able to go to an "easy" one elsewhere, heh
autumn halo
I was planning to buy a cold upgrade but got one for free before I got around to it.
That and my multi-tool weapon upgrades all fell into place nicely before I headed out to a derelict.
Btw, the one in the final system isn't bad at all, just the regular security.
Did another one first that was filled with dozens of sacks of horror - if it weren't for the analysis visor trick, it would have taken hours or, if I died, probably minutes.
One of the rooms literally had almost 12 sacks all in a row. It was madness.
foggy cloak
Now that's a derelict freighter
autumn halo
Felt more like Event Horizon lol
foggy cloak
One where every inch is lethal
idle pewter
cant wait to see my standing with the geks
did alot of freighter raiding for quick money
indigo falcon
didn't you get a forged passport from one milestone? heck just reset that crap
autumn halo
That doesn't hurt your rep if you only hit the canisters attached to capital ships and don't blow up any regular starships.
autumn halo
Or were you running the outlaw missions? Cause those lower your rep pretty good.
idle pewter
i just left it on my freighter got tired of many sentinel scan
nope
just doing some hit and runs on poor freighters
autumn halo
That shouldn't have lowered your standing, then, unless they changed that in the last patch or two.
idle pewter
well i was hitting crates that werent attached to freights
autumn halo
Ah, that'll do it.
idle pewter
and i kept getting a decrease so
wind sleet
I found out today that even if you disable sentinels they can still scan you lol
autumn halo
I only blow those up (the floating cargo canisters) f they have a Salvaged Frigate Module, and they never seem to, so I just ignore them now.
idle pewter
i was going for everything
foggy cloak
I found out today that even if you disable sentinels they can still scan you lol
it disables planetary sentinels, space is never disabled
idle pewter
just needed to get some units and resources to get some momentum to keep going on the expedition
dense basin
i was going for everything
Separate cargo pods will always drop your standing
indigo falcon
I found out today that even if you disable sentinels they can still scan you lol
disabling sentinels is a planet-side thing; the space fuzz will still come for you!
idle pewter
yeah
autumn halo
Raiding freighters is a great way to get some free units.
dense basin
Extra great in outlaw systems
wind sleet
it disables planetary sentinels, space is never disabled
I'm in atmosphere though, and sentinels are disabled there as well
autumn halo
Especially if you're in an outlaw system - you get tons of contraband and then head over to a regular system and bam, rich.
wind sleet
I hunt ships - no sentinels, but they still scan me
idle pewter
i was surprised with how much it sells for in normal systems
autumn halo
Unlike some other games I won't name where smuggling is entirely pointless.
idle pewter
attacking freighters in normal systems always decrease ur standing
autumn halo
HG did a fine job making it worthwhile but still feel slightly dangerous.
autumn halo
Nope, not if you only shoot the pods attached to the big ships.
autumn halo
There will still be a security response when you attack, though, so you have to be careful not to destroy any of the responding ships or free-floating cargo pods while you're looting and trying to keep your shields up.
idle pewter
ima head over to this pirate system and be a little thief for a minute
i never have an issue with the ships
its usually 1
autumn halo
Bountiful plundering to you, matey.
idle pewter
i try and get the useful things and leave
strange zinc
hm, oh yeah, did have a question
are you supposed to get the sonmel dust from the horrific nest bits?
indigo falcon
from crates you loot mostly
the gunk on the floors and doors can have it too but a lot less
foggy cloak
are you supposed to get the sonmel dust from the horrific nest bits?
yeah, from the nest in the derelicts, or crates
strange zinc
No, Im good with the dust, I have like 1k in my inventory just from this run that I am still in
hmmmm...
indigo falcon
you're gonna get 10 erbs for turning that all in 😄
strange zinc
I mean, I was goofing around one time, and I found you can get like 1 dust from meleeing the HN nubs, you know, post pop
mining laser is no, so is weapons, but spesifically melee? that gets you that lil bit of dust
indigo falcon
some joker made a video of them meleeing the entrance terminal for it 😄
strange zinc
ah, so it's known, gotchu
indigo falcon
silliest thing I ever saw
strange zinc
you're gonna get 10 erbs for turning that all in 😄
(also I like have 2.5k more in my freighter)
indigo falcon
that is a LOT of free erbs!
strange zinc
ah, just tried the melee on the entreeway...
indigo falcon
there's some specific point you have to hit, the upper left corner maybe?
indigo falcon
oh really 😄
strange zinc
also, the dust is like real good for farming
idle pewter
ok update
strange zinc
because each turn in you get another reciever
strange zinc
which farm boobie?
strange zinc
also, you get over 1k in a single run, if you got an infested DF, so that's a 1000% profit or something
...oh
OH
LMAO
idle pewter
whats up
strange zinc
YO @indigo falcon
I was wrong about the perma-biogunk thing
... it's the WHOLE DAMN SHIP 
like, next time your in a DF, literally just punch da wall
indigo falcon
I guess that method is a bit slow though!
strange zinc
naw, I just thinks it's real funny that you could do that
I have like 20 non-activated emergency transponders I can use, from turning in all that dust

A friend of mine has been messing around with spawning DFs in atmosphere, and discovered you can pull Somnal Dust in other modes by punching the walls, lol.
indigo falcon
so that's enough that if you continue playing this save, you can max out the slots on any S freighter you eventually get, (iwth the 2.5k and the other 1k) I think 😄
now repeat that for the tech upgrade runs!

Cargo Bulkheads are rewarded for every space battle you participate in as well, if you speak to the captain after, so I prefer to take the freighter upgrade modules now when running derelicts.

there is a pinned message "mini-faq" with info about a pirate system near the starter system

After 8 long hours I finally beat the expedition. Feels great, never want to play permadeath again.
indigo falcon
you can get the role for this server, see pinned messages on how to do it!
fringe agate
Fuck dude. I'm so happy I got to see that just happen.
Got your whale?
ashen shore
Nope. Just saw Obsidian Ant ask a question though.
fringe agate
Still stalking them?
ashen shore
Yep!
fringe agate
For legal purposes, the preceding comments are jokes
ashen shore
Hahaha yeah...
fringe agate
Mostly
Anywaysss
@ashen shore Did you see my starting character for the expedition?
ashen shore
Oh!
fringe agate
Well, I was for about 5 minutes
indigo falcon
I'm always you-know-who, this time too
fringe agate
Yay!
ashen shore
NMS giving you your head danglies even as a Vy'Keen. Thanks Atlas.
indigo falcon
ashen shore
😩

droopy stare face , that's what I call it
anyways I gave in to the will of the Atlas, all my saves look like that now

I'll stick with my helmet.

indigo falcon
too many eyes
frosty pine
Now... i would really love if loop prog reached 100% today, so i can keep farming memories 😂
frosty pine
you can keep farming them regardless
I already have everything S class, and everything at almost the best stats so it would be pointless
Or do memories actually change to X class after crafted when the loop is completed?
indigo falcon
if you don't open them now but wait until the tier, they will have the new class
faint mango
Do you guys customize your characters?
rustic olive
I got like 80 unopened waiting for the them to reach X class 
frosty pine
Do you guys customize your characters?
Yea, why not? 👀
frosty pine
There is a customization terminal in all the space stations and in the anomaly
faint mango
ok, cool. Thanks.
frosty pine
Alright, farming zone ready 😂
indigo falcon
enjoy your nanites! 😄
frosty pine
Ohh i did already
Yesterday i got like 150k by farming memories and bought all the stuff i wanted from anomaly
I'm short on salvaged data and frigate modules tho 😂
indigo falcon
better get on that 😛 😄
frosty pine
Tbh i only need to farm salvage data if a want to make one of those billion units per day farms
indigo falcon
salv frigaet modules though you could definitely pick up a pile of those
frosty pine
And i only really want the teleport module for the freighter so i can craft from the planet 😂
indigo falcon
just don't spend them now
sweet rose
im trying to find s class ones to roll a comba feel in

Sentinel upgrades have adjacency to shield upgrades

hrmmm, I wonder is this is enough Memory Fragments...
Nope next time actually grind for them😂
brave rain
I just died on a moon with low gravity. I thought I couldn’t take fall damage there 😭
fringe agate
Eeeee
indigo falcon
had you completed everything?
brave rain
No
indigo falcon
what was left??
brave rain
A lot of stuff. I had just spent a lot of time grinding upgrades
indigo falcon
dang 😦
brave rain
I was only upset because I’d have to re-do the grind for memory fragments for polo
indigo falcon
did you turn in 5 previously?
brave rain
I’m not sure what that means, sorry
indigo falcon
well if you had turned in stuff 5 time to Polo then that clears "Partners in Time" and that's done
I mean it persists across.
brave rain
Ohhh, I don’t think so
I had about 4 milestones that carried over, that loot helped me beat the starter planet in about 6 minutes
And a strider yeeted me into the upper atmosphere. Luckily my jet pack was charged and i didn’t take damage from the fall
indigo falcon
whew!
ok well if you've bases at all the good spots you can at lest get back to places fast
brave rain
I didn’t even think of that! Thanks.
I’m gonna to get more upgrades (being cautious so I don’t die in the derelicts, also I play in Vr so if I’m not careful I could die of a heart attack lol)
indigo falcon
don't do that now! 😄 😄
brave rain
don't do that now! 😄 😄
Also did you memorize every milestone?
indigo falcon
no. I have a list I typed out early on
a bunch of tip sheets I put together, stuff like that so I can look things up fast
undone spire
Can anyone get me to the eisentam?
indigo falcon
you might try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades for that
vital jewel
hello, i wonder how i can complete the optional quest in the 4 and 5 iteration? ty
fringe agate
It's a community goal
frosty pine
hrmmm, I wonder is this is enough Memory Fragments...
Nope, there is not "enough" when you talk about memory fragments 😂
You probably wanna hold yours for a bit
We are already at 95% of the loop
vital jewel
oh ty 🙂 so we have jsut to play then it ll be unlock progressively
frosty pine
Not just play, you need to complete Polo requests at the anomaly
fringe agate
You don't, though it helps ofc
People making new saves have all the current unlocked, so it just needs to reach the goal

ashen shore
Any recommendations for step 4.4?
indigo falcon
is that "Banished Glass"?
ashen shore
Thats the one.
indigo falcon
I recommend one of the following
- use a user base or
- do "pugneum dreams" first and get a map as a reward
ashen shore
Oh nice. You can just hack the terminal after you get the map to complete?
indigo falcon
you can be strategic about the second one (kill 20 sentinels) by being by a building, killing only drones and leaving summoners
never let the wave escalate beyond 2, etc.
yeah you lietrally just walk up to the terminal
no shooting anything even the sentinel guards
ashen shore
Phew. That doesn't sound too bad. Thanks.
slender harness
You probably wanna hold yours for a bit
Do they upgrade if you hold onto them?
I thought they just stayed the same class, so I've been using them when I get them lol
pure elm
Okay time to continue setting up before I do anchor 4. I've been kinda busy with something today so I haven't had the opportunity to do this earlier
Think I'll get the solar panels because biofuel reactors have proven to be kind of ineffective for my nip farm and even in general
Since I'd have to keep the batteries topped up all the time
sand reef
Can anyone give me a ride to the galaxy anchor point 3 is in please?
indigo falcon
I thought they just stayed the same class, so I've been using them when I get th...
they get a class of the tiern when you open them, not before
indigo falcon
Can anyone give me a ride to the galaxy anchor point 3 is in please?
everything is in euclid
sand reef
Euclid? What do you mean?
indigo falcon
the galaxy for this expedition is euclid
sand reef
My anchor point 3 isnt in the expodition
indigo falcon
unlike expedition 6 which started in 89 (forget the name, U-something) and ended in 90 (Paholliang)
frosty pine
unlike expedition 6 which started in 89 (forget the name, U-something) and ended...
😮
I missed that
indigo falcon
My anchor point 3 isnt in the expodition
sorry. I don't quite understand what you want... can you explain a little more?
indigo falcon
I missed that
confused the heck out of a lot of people
sand reef
So i need to go really dar but i cant because i have a basic hyperdrive
indigo falcon
Like my anchor point 3 isnt in the galaxy belt
there's one anchor point 3 system for everyone.
sand reef
So i was asking for someone to give me a jump to anchor point 3 location
What do you mean?
indigo falcon
I mean that the anchor point worlds and the starting planet and system are the same for all players
expeditions are special that way
sand reef
I think your misunderstanding my question 😭
sand reef
My anchor point 3 is far and inorder for me to reach it i need a indium driver or alot of fuel for my warp drive, my question was to see if someone wanted to group with me and teleport to that galaxy anchor 3 is located in so i can save resources and time, and in return I’ll give them some of my S tier stuff that I don’t use
indigo falcon
you don't need an indium drive, that is fr sure
galaxies, ok this is part of the confusion
a planet is in a star system or planetary system
a bunch of those together are one region of space
and a bunch of those regions comprise a galaxy (in our case, "Euclid", the starting galaxy for everyone and for almost all expeditions)
the system you want is um
sand reef
I wish i could show you
indigo falcon
Uffanymo III
sand reef
Yes thats correct
indigo falcon
ok. not galaxy, star system/planetary system.
frosty pine
I think his problem isn't knowing where to go
indigo falcon
do you not have units for the materials for warp fuel?
sand reef
But i cant go there without bouncing around on galaxies that arent connected to the shstem
frosty pine
He is probably 300ly away with a basic ship and he wants a ride
sand reef
I have a S tier ship
indigo falcon
that's how everyone gets there.
sand reef
I just don’t have a indium warp drive
frosty pine
I have a S tier ship
Still basic ship tho
sand reef
And thats y i was asking for help
indigo falcon
the first time through anyways, is by going through a bunch of in between stops
it's ok, just go to the space station in those places, buy a suit slot anyways
you don't need an indium warp drive
frosty pine
Yea, you want to do those hops you don't want to do
Otherwise you can't max out the suit 😂
Also remember to call the anomaly on each system too
So you have 2 suit slots per system
indigo falcon
ah!
sand reef
I just want the cape 😂
sand reef
Toympiae lll Prime at the anomoly
indigo falcon
okay!
that's a great system, it's an outlaw system
anyways I would recommend to buy some contraband with that and smuggle it to the next system
take the profits and use to buy materials for a few warp cells
then come back (warp) and repeat again
do until you have done 500k units, this gives you the "Hot Pursuit" milestone
sand reef
Okay thank you, i already got that
indigo falcon
this is good because you get gifted some items worth a LOT as rewards
wait, you did Hot Pursuit?
did you collect the rewards?
sand reef
Yeah
sweet rose
i know this is prolly a dumb question but how do i heal\
indigo falcon
Yeah
you should have been able to sell off the unearthed treasures for a few million... what happened?
indigo falcon
i know this is prolly a dumb question but how do i heal\
from hazard prot or shields, indoors or in your ship will regenrate those. for life support, there is life support gel. for health points, meat or there are white health boxes you may find near cargo drops
sweet rose
thank you been on one health for like a day now and dont wanna die
indigo falcon
oh also in some buildings you may find health stations on the wall, keep your eyes open
sand reef
you should have been able to sell off the unearthed treasures for a few million....
It didn’t say anything about millions
But I possibly sold it😭
indigo falcon
well hmm can you check your inventory? there would have been 4 of these
and I think all identical
frosty pine
Something like this
indigo falcon
yep those are the ones
this should solve your money problem, see. unless somehow you sold them all AND spent money on I dunno what, a new ship??
calm flax
The money from them didn't come close to covering the 150m I needed to upgrade to the long S 34+9 Sentinel type freighter.
frosty pine
I'm still on my C class freighter tho 👀
indigo falcon
maybe but you probably were alble to fund your trip around the expedition route without a single worry, no?
that's what we're trying to make happen here for the player
ashen shore
I’m still kinda new to Expeditions. What kind of rewards are granted for completing an expedition?
frosty pine
It really depends on the expedition
But usually a bunch of aesthetic stuff and 1 useful thing
indigo falcon
you can have a look at the nms page for this expedition to see what you think: https://www.nomanssky.com/2022/05/expedition-seven-leviathan/

Thanks ^^
slate solar
If I want to get all the optional milestones should I just, erm, die repeatedly so I don't have to do everything else multiple times?
indigo falcon
except for the iterate-repeat milestone ONE TIME, your job is to stay alive. do that! 😄
slate solar
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, well that makes sense
The community was well timed with my deaths so far XD
Gotta get back on the Derelict grind I suppose
Hahaha, thanks death
indigo falcon
you don't have to grind for yet more. you can if you would like! and if you plan to play the save later, the free erbs will come in very handy!
restive wasp
Yo! Where (system/planete) do i have to go to get the storm cristal of the third part of the expedition? I burned myself too many time and freeze too death also too many time without seeing anything so far...
foggy cloak
Yo! Where (system/planete) do i have to go to get the storm cristal of the third...
On any extreme planet
restive wasp
On any extreme planet
Already did that... is there a spesific one where i need too go?
foggy cloak
Already did that... is there a spesific one where i need too go?
No
Just need to wait for the storm
That's when they appear
indigo falcon
Yo! Where (system/planete) do i have to go to get the storm cristal of the third...
see pinned post "mini-faq" with info about a storm crystal planet on the route
not all extreme weather planets will have one but the one listed there does
restive wasp
like i said lol i've waited so many time and burn and freeze also so many time without finding anything...
frosty pine
You should've built a shelter 👀
restive wasp
not all extreme weather planets will have one but the one listed there does

Disable the pilar (if there is one) or kill the 5 sentinel waves

Kill all 5 waves or find a pillar

one milestone gives you a map to a pillar btw
wary pasture
Hopeful I can get a bit done today. I'd like to see phase 2 and 3 done. 😬
Friggen whispering eggs ughh. I shouldve fast tracked that goal.
foggy cloak
You will, if you believe in Atlas enough
indigo falcon
there are user bases to help with that
foggy cloak
wary pasture
I'll keep an open eye.
foggy cloak
I'll keep an open eye.
And a crimson view
indigo falcon
the Atlas helps those who help themselves, is I believe the applicable motto here 😛
wary pasture
Mm cant help but know fully that Atlas wants me to succeed.
frosty pine
Also, you don't need super big bases to farm those eggs
That's all that you need
Jump in, pick up eggs, go to next square
indigo falcon
you run the risk of encountering them on the way to the next box that way though. that's why I like the elevated walkways between boxes, eliminates that.
frosty pine
Ohh i just jetpack to the building 😂
wary pasture
Killing my anxiety. Lolol
My brother is calling me a girl. Says just shoot the eggs grab em and run. I'm like bro no just no.
indigo falcon
your brother can play the expedition the way he wants. you play the way you want. sheesh
also gender based insults can eff right off.
frosty pine
Also now that we have small floorings you can do this if you don't feel safe enough 👀
And you can just jump between cages
wary pasture
Oo
indigo falcon
yep something similar to that is the general design a bunch of folks have used
wary pasture
So talk me through what occurs. You are in one side shoot and collect.. they spawn in there with you?
wary pasture
Oooooooooo
indigo falcon
they don't quite. some clip inside the 4 walls. don't panic, the game will force them outside
just concentrate on picking up the larval core.
wary pasture
So just stand there if that's the case, dont panic run?
frosty pine
You need to try to center the alien nest between the 4 walls
indigo falcon
shoot, grab, shoot grab, until done, move to the next batch, that's all.
frosty pine
That way there are less chances for them to have room
wary pasture
Hmm so this is like a, they require 3 squares but the boxes are 2 type thing. Not exactly but ina jist
indigo falcon
you should do a manual save before hand, because there is a possible glitch that could cause you to be stuck (extremely unlikely but just in case)
pure elm
Think I'll finally be going to take care of anchor 4 soon! I'm working on plopping down some things I might need before I get going
Just about gonna turn in for the night though
indigo falcon

it doesn't kill you, just would make you unable to continue without reload. that's what the save is for.
wary pasture
No doubt ggs sounds like things are going smooth.
Oooo ok I'll keep that in mind most certainly.
frosty pine
There is a save point next to all the infested buildings so you can just use that
wary pasture
Thank yous go to both of you 2. I'll keep you in the loop on success. 😊
wary pasture
Oh wow
indigo falcon
oh boy. tomorrow the great X adventure begins!
pure elm
I've been checking too!
frosty pine
oh boy. tomorrow the great X adventure begins!
I will try to do a 200 memories opening rampage 😂
pure elm
Well it's been fun getting S rank upgrades lol
wary pasture
I'm quite sure hg really enjoys seeing that. They wont question continuing to roll these out for us.
frosty pine
Now... if only i could be able to find a flat planet with a bunch of salvage data and no hazards, that would be great 👀
indigo falcon
we all wanted intersting terrain. welp.
pure elm
You could try paradise planets with no aggressive sentinels
frosty pine
I don't really care about sentinels 😂
pure elm
These don't have hazards except for the storms
wary pasture
I've noticed, I see sentinels on every damn planet I've stopped on. Seems theres no ducking them.
frosty pine
Just want hazardless and flat
wary pasture
The hazardless without mt Everest styling cliffs is a fair request I'd think.
frosty pine
Also finding a paradise planet is a feat on itself
frosty pine
Paradise is a type of lush planet
indigo falcon
any planet with star bulb as a resource might have good weather
wary pasture
Right that's what I was thinking.
indigo falcon
gotta check
wary pasture
About the lush thing. Is why I was saying found close but no cigar.
frosty pine
As long as the planet's weather is on the 1st column we are good
remote thunder
any weird biome planet has nice weather (if it's just about - yeah, no data on those)

Yea, but it may have no salvage data
remote thunder
well, any biome can have clear weather patterns like the ones listed in that table
(diff names ofc)
indigo falcon
the wish list was: flat, hazard-free, for hunting salvaged data
the last part being key....
frosty pine
Yea, but the others have hazard all the time even with clear weather 😂
