<@&590975379678953522>

I have earned my little emoji thing and I will never touch this mode again. Eeesh. :/

[wicked pine]

Could someone help me

[indigo falcon]

is this in expedition mode?

[wicked pine]

I donno what that is

[indigo falcon]

ok, I guess you are in a normal game. this channel is for expedition-related questions and discussion. I would try asking in the main channel #no-mans-sky

[wicked pine]

Ok thanks

[fathom schooner]

What are these?

[indigo falcon]

psa: tier completed, all new saves or resets should get X upgrades (and gear??)

[remote thunder]

thanks for the news @indigo falcon

time to farm some looms and buy some mats and go to town crafting fragments

[indigo falcon]

I want to see what ship and mt new saves start with, heh

[remote thunder]

it would very much surprise me if you started with a x-class ship or mt

[frosty pine]

Considering you can't upgrade to X class, probably just S class 👀

[indigo falcon]

that's logical but this is nms 😄

[remote thunder]

good point

[fathom schooner]

What are expeditions?

[frosty pine]

A timed game mode with special completion rewards

[remote thunder]

• Expedition: Time limited, season-like, objective-based content game mode. Unlock phase rewards, which can then also be unlocked in other saves under the same account. Items available in past expeditions might become available again in the future.

[fathom schooner]

Ah k

[remote thunder]

i guess we could call it a fresh way to (re)play nms

start out with an actual layout, some stuff - techs, mods - already installed, etc

don't have to run main questlines - different progression path really, until it's over and exp saves get converted to (usually) normal game mode

exp7 is the first exception

[umbral turret]

anybody else crash everytime they die on the expedition

i stopped playing it because it kept happening

[frosty pine]

Disable multiplayer

[summer oyster]

You start with an S class starship and multi-tool now.

[remote thunder]

apergos will be sad

[indigo falcon]

bbbooooooo

oh well, question answered, now I can go to sleep 😄

[frosty pine]

I'm still at 99%

[indigo falcon]

oh wut

save and rerload? warp somewhere and back, check again?

[frosty pine]

Yea, i did already

Still didn't refresh for me

Gotta wait a bit inside the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

ok. good luck, I'm off to bed

[summer oyster]

I'm sad too, I can't stand X class with all that RNG.

[frosty pine]

You probably still get S class mods

I would tell you but i'm still at 99%. The game doesn't like me 😂

Going to restart the game to see if that works

Yep, that worked

[wary pasture]

1more whispering egg to go

Still have to escape, but that's a done deal.

[frosty pine]

Ok it seems that it only gives X class, unless the module doesn't have X class variant

But after opening 100 memories, i didn't get a single module worse than my previously installed S class ones

So that's good 👀

[barren creek]

Alright, so they did make it an upgrade

If it were regular x rank then it would usually not be

[dense basin]

They'd have to or there would be screaming

(from me)

[frosty pine]

Either they made those better on purpose, or i had crazy luck

[dense basin]

They've been exceptionally good for me to this point. I think I had 2 duds in my last playthrough

[hollow elm]

Anyone else been experiencing getting dealt damage randomly even tho nothing could possibly be hurting you in that situation?

[wary pasture]

Are you around harmful plantlife?

[hollow elm]

No I checked there was literally nothing

[wary pasture]

There are certain ones thatll damn near snipe ya from afar

Hmmph that is odd than

[hollow elm]

I got scared so went into my ship and it kept happening

[wary pasture]

Even in the ship?!

[hollow elm]

Couldn’t see any enemy ships or any messages saying I was being attacked

[wary pasture]

That's scary fr ngl

[barren creek]

Life support is charged?

[hollow elm]

Didn’t stop till I went in the space station was v scary and has been happening several times ;-;

Yeah my life support and storm stuff all charged

[barren creek]

Odd

[wary pasture]

Very

[barren creek]

Well, don't go to that planet again 😅

[wary pasture]

Can it all be linked to one planet?

It occur there the previous time as well?

[barren creek]

Could it possibly be another player with invisibility?

[wary pasture]

Halo

Damn split lips with plasma swords

[hollow elm]

It’s happened on other planets too a few times

[static willow]

X class!

[hollow elm]

U can still see their icon and name when they’re invisible right?

[barren creek]

Is it possible for an x rank module to damage you?

[barren creek]

I'm not sure.

[wary pasture]

I too had a question. Is there some way to sell off unwanted modules?

And where if so

[barren creek]

Not sure, but you can equip them, dismantle them, and sell the parts

[wary pasture]

Ok that was the planB

[tacit silo]

mentioned in experimental notes so you definitely aren't imagining it, I had same issue as well at start of the expedition: Experimental Branch 09/06
Fixed an issue which incorrectly caused players to take damage while on planet.

[hollow elm]

Oh damn

[frosty pine]

Go to the module seller

[hollow elm]

I don’t think they fixed it properly ;-;

[wary pasture]

Any in particular?

[tough crown]

What exactly do I lose if I die in the expedition, eyed the quests and was wondering if I lose a ton of stuff for dying

[frosty pine]

No, go to the station and pick any of the 4 module sellers there, then swap to sell mode

[wary pasture]

Theres a pin explained what persists beyond death.

[minor breach]

There’s a setting you can enable or disable I think so if they disable it then no

[tough crown]

Ah thanks

[wary pasture]

Okok again tysm my friend. Oh soo helpful today.

The eggs were a cakewalk btw. I used a preexisting setup that youd shown me I had found.

[hollow elm]

Ah alright that’s super sketchy lmao

[minor breach]

Yup

[frosty pine]

You can have pvp disabled tho 👀

[minor breach]

I mean you shouldn’t be able to have invisibility normally so

[hollow elm]

It is disabled actually

[median ember]

Expedition is asking me to die first to get hrmetic seal...wth

[frosty pine]

Yes you can

[hollow elm]

So def the bug then

[minor breach]

How?

[median ember]

Should i die?

[hollow elm]

Yes sadly

[minor breach]

That works on other players?

[frosty pine]

No idea

I don't play with multiplayer enabled

[wary pasture]

I have to know that's so epic

[median ember]

And how to die?

🤣

[wary pasture]

I thought I had seen that module once before

[hollow elm]

I’d I remember correctly it does.

[minor breach]

Oh weird

[hollow elm]

Fall damage lmao

[wary pasture]

Easiest way to go. Lol

[median ember]

I thought my iteration will reset. It seems my game died as well. 😑

[wary pasture]

Huh

[median ember]

Game crash.... 😑

[hollow elm]

That’s rough

[frosty pine]

Multiplayer on?

[wary pasture]

Ah yikes

[median ember]

I died a bit too hard.

[hollow elm]

Lmao u could say that

[wary pasture]

Gotta go hit an abandoned freighter then I'm on my way to anchor3

[hollow elm]

Good luck!

[wary pasture]

Tysm truly

[hollow elm]

No problem (:

[wary pasture]

What are you working on besides evading that dmg?

[hollow elm]

Heard that if u get to all anchor points and do all memory resonator quests, it’ll go from permadeath back to survival so am currently getting to AP 4 and 5 to fix that so I’ll stop dying and having to start over ;-;

Omg ;-; I just traveled to a base that said anchor point 5….. and now I’m trapped in a room.

[minor breach]

Yup

[wary pasture]

I didnt know that

[minor breach]

Report the base it’ll disappear

[wary pasture]

Ye report it

[hollow elm]

How do I do that

[minor breach]

Quick menu

All the way to the right

[hollow elm]

Thank u

Lmao it was a big drop down when it disappeared I almost died 😅😅😅

[minor breach]

Oh shoot

Probably should have told you that

[wary pasture]

Oh F

How sour of a person does one have to be to set up a trap like that.. smh

Fortunate you can just blink it away though frfr

[hollow elm]

Right?? I’m back at the start now too lmao luckily I’m always in multiplayer so I can easily use the anomaly to get back

Rather me than someone else honestly xD

[wary pasture]

Ahh I now have a tendency to avoid multi at all costs. 😅

Ah that's the sad part, you just made it disappear for you, I could easily end up there ina few. Lmao

[hollow elm]

That’s super valid lmao it be bad sometimes. I have most fun playing with my husband tho so we power through lmao

[hollow elm]

Aw that’s sadge

[wary pasture]

Ooo that's cool my brother and I run missions on weekends mostly, times dont match up much otherwise.

[hollow elm]

Sounds like fun!

[wary pasture]

So I need to do what you are honestly, anti perma is a big goal now. Lol

[hollow elm]

Oh yeah I’m not gonna go and do all the scary stuff until I fix that haha

[median ember]

Whoa...the solar sail opened up....and ate most of my pov 😑

I thought they would open on side.

[frosty pine]

When on the solar ship, i only use 1st person whenever i need to know coordinates or i'm trying to find planets/freighters

Otherwise, always on 3rd person

[wary pasture]

Sadly I became a 3rd person flyer because of solars

[hollow elm]

I’m too used to first person lmao

[wary pasture]

So like how far apart are all the anchors? A good distance?

[summer oyster]

Each one seems to be quite far apart the more you go.

[wary pasture]

Sheesh, ty Flandeez

[hollow elm]

Do you know if you have to also complete every quest in iteration 5 in order for it to go back to survival? Or just AP 5 and and memory resonator quest?

[minor breach]

All anchor all resonator and all the quests in the last iteration and k think all of 5 too cause that’s a buildup for the end like all the ones that were originally unavailable like you couldn’t see what they were called

[ionic finch]

I don't have a hyperdrive for my expedition starter ship, what should I do?

[hollow elm]

Got it thank you 🙏🙏

[minor breach]

Np

[ionic finch]

oh. I just had to look

thank you 🤣

[frosty pine]

Yw

[half moon]

Hi

I hope hellogames sees the flaws in this expedition and makes the next better

[frosty pine]

Like what? 👀

[half moon]

The idea of forcing everyone into permadeath seems silly

[frosty pine]

I would never play permadeath, yet i liked it here 🤷🏻‍♂️

[half moon]

And also they really need to start bug fixing these expeditions better especially if we are going to be doing permadeath runs

[hollow elm]

I do agree with that. Like the whole randomly taking damage thing is kinda fucked in permadeath /: I def wouldn’t have opted for permadeath and if I die again I don’t know if I have the strength to continue 😂

[half moon]

I had 1 and 2 done and almost 3 last night and died as well as a couple of items in 4 and 5 @hollow elm

Big rip

Big lose of time

3rd death all from fall damage

[hollow elm]

Yeah it’s a v big rip. I’m not very good at these kinda games to begin with so it’s tough! I’m the kinda person to play games on easy lmao I play for fun not cuz I wanna be frustrated

[hollow elm]

Ya I barely use the jet pack atm cuz am too scared a random cliff will kill me 😂

[half moon]

Ye

A lot of ppl think hellogames did a bad job on this one

[hollow elm]

Ya know honestly I can deal with the whole death thing making u restart from the beginning. What I don’t like is that everything else is harder too. You get less recourses from mining and generally take more damage from everything. Everything in the shops even costs more /:

[half moon]

Some said they should have allowed us to pick a difficulty or at least had checkpoints

Check points would make permadeath pointless

[minor breach]

I found it fun I mean I was annoyed when I died at 3rd or maybe it was 4th anchor point but after that i found it fun(maybe I just get off on stress)

[hollow elm]

A difficulty option would’ve been nice tho!

[half moon]

I think if they were to bug fix better it would have been more enjoyable

[hollow elm]

XD you masochist, I don’t vibe well on stress haha

[hollow elm]

Agreed tho I do understand it’s hard to manage with the amount of content you get in nms

[half moon]

The 2 bugs that were the most annoying were silent aggressive monsters and the black screen when you get out of your ship

[hollow elm]

I’ve only dealt with random damage being done to me so far bug wise. But god a black screen when you exit ur ship is kinda fucked

[wary pasture]

Idk I feel like this has been much needed. To show me the game is a bit more than normal mode.

Now the fact every single damn planet wants me dead, I could do without, but. I enjoy this exp.

[frosty pine]

I guess the experience is really subjective

I've had no bugs or deaths so far

So i can't say anything about that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[wary pasture]

No bugs so far here either. 🤜🌴

That's me knocking on wood.

[hollow elm]

Lucky you guys haha

[wary pasture]

Ouch dont say it my pc might've heard XD

[hollow elm]

I do understand what you mean and I get why they did it lol it’s just not my thing I guess. Still gonna finish it tho 😂

[half moon]

It's not your pc

[wary pasture]

I fully understand the rage or disappointment. I died to a predator, falling, and pure planet hazard.

Ik it's not pc related friend was just joking.

[half moon]

Some of these bugs persist from the live game

Hello games just has failed to fix them

[hollow elm]

First time I used the memory resonator to get the memory and the bio horrors showed up, I was scared ran away right off a cliff and died lmao

[half moon]

Haha

[wary pasture]

Omg yikes

[hollow elm]

Ya xD that’s why permadeath isn’t for me. Can’t think clearly when I’m stressed

[half moon]

It happens

[wary pasture]

I'm just about the same anxiety runs high ona regular. 😅

[hollow elm]

Lmao it’s a vibe

[wary pasture]

Ye though idk ig reporting the bugs is best we can do. We know hg is good at recovery, give it time.

I will say this 3rd anchor jeeeeeez storm nearly took me out

[hollow elm]

Absolutely they’ve come so far already (: besides, it’s not like the game is unplayable luckily

[hollow elm]

Don’t die lol

[wary pasture]

Oh no I called the ship soo fast lol

[dense basin]

Minotaur is your best friend

Don't forget about it

[wary pasture]

I live in my starship. But ye I need to use that more tysm for the shout.

[hollow elm]

Ahaha a mood

[dense basin]

built in hazard protection to save your ass AND lets you jump away from danger

[wary pasture]

I just got like 5 upgrades for it from something another too so that works

[dense basin]

nice

[wary pasture]

Hid them somewhere 😬

[dense basin]

check your freighter?

[wary pasture]

Yep noice

[main harbor]

Does anyone want help with their expedition?

[supple radish]

<@&590975379678953522> , finished Leviathan, Please add role. Thank You!

After dying in the derelict freighter a couple weeks ago, I restarted and worked my way through it, and finished tonight. Very happy. I know some people are complaining about this expedition, but I applaud Hello Games for trying different things. Looking forward to the next one.

[umbral canopy]

Nice bro!

[supple radish]

Thank you. Until this expedition, I never tried whispering eggs or derelict freighter, or even storm crystals, so I appreciate it stretching my boundaries.

Hunting for memories and stuff on those jagged planets sucked, but overall, I enjoyed it

[umbral canopy]

That's cool! I've never done an expedition, for now I'm just trying to get back in the game.

[supple radish]

This expedition is tough, but for those that have a few hundred hours into the game, if was a fun challenge.

[sharp shore]

oh you can request for role when you finished the expedition? guess i will take the screenshot when i get back

tbh the hardest part for me was dodging whatever those things in space that are spanwed by the 4th loop collapse

[dense basin]

I've run this expedition 5 times now and I don't think I've actually seen the loop 4 collapse event. What spawns?

[ashen shore]

Nearly 24 hours in and I've made it to anchor 5. Let's hope I don't screw up and get killed lol

[ashen turret]

Stock up on ion batteries and some kind of life support.

you'll need it

but - here's the hard part - you'll need lots of inventory space

[dense basin]

Go and buy yourself a cold hazard protection from a space station

This is what you should spend your nanites on

Even at those horribly inflated prices

[minor breach]

You should be fine

[dense basin]

I wouldn't even bother with all those resistances now that you have the element specific protection, but that's just me and I like my inventory space 😄

[frosty pine]

With that resistance i can farm solanium by foot during an extreme storm 👀

[dense basin]

You could do it without the resistance

just need the hazard protection

[frosty pine]

Yea, but it lasts less and need to recharge it sooner 😂

This way it lasts a few mins

It's and endgame stuff anyway

[dense basin]

this is why I just carry a bigass pile of batteries. One slot vs 6 😄

[frosty pine]

Someone just progressing in the expedition probably wont have the slots to fit everything

[frosty pine]

I had a cargo slot for them, until i realized it was an overkill and just stored 100 in a normal slot

[dense basin]

One S class hazard protection will last through 2 extreme storms, which is good enough for me

[frosty pine]

Is the amount you get from plant variable now? Or there is something different on the expedition? 🤔

I just picked up my first frostwort and it gave 76 instead of 50

Ohhh wait a sec

Optical drill affects amount collected

Nice things to learn 😂

So weird that a laser upgrade affects something that you collect by hand

[dense basin]

Optical drill amounts are also affected by adjacency

[sharp shore]

tbh i don't recall what exactly they look like, but they spawn when you enter space with a loop collapse event notificaion, i remember it being 3 alien ships that hit quite hard, they ended my 1st run.

the 2nd run, when i saw that message again after i left the planet after doing the 4th loop, i just gunned out of there.

didnt stick around to get blown up again

planning to do the expedition again when the next milestone is reached so i guess i will stick around for some screenshots this time

Also i find it funny that the first thing i did this expedition on my 2nd save was to just jetpack off a high cliff.

[ionic thunder]

Has the 4th community thing been hit yet

[sharp shore]

think it should be soon, if it hadn't already

the last i saw it was at 96% like 12 hours ago

[ionic thunder]

Nice

if it stays unreached, do you think our save will stay expedition forever?

[sharp shore]

dont know tbh, since it is technically an optional milestone

[wraith venture]

when the event ends, you can convert it

[frosty pine]

It was a few hours ago

[wraith venture]

if you're referring to the expedition save that is

[frosty pine]

[viscid prairie]

I'm sad because my Expedition save got corrupted somehow, I had a bunch of memory fragments I was gonna spam for upgrades :(

[ionic thunder]

I could give you some, I have a bunch still

[viscid prairie]

I'll see how I'm feeling today, if I wanna farm them again

But thank you

[pure elm]

Gonna continue again today. I bet that the memory fragments got upgraded to X in the meantime

[indigo falcon]

they did!

[woeful ore]

Isn't the Aeration mod for underwater? Does that help with your resistance also

[sharp shore]

it probably just happened to be in the slot

he means the 3 X modules.

[wraith junco]

Just finished my act indium farm in expedition. It makes 500K/24h. Should i make it bigger?

[indigo falcon]

do you want more money than that from the farm faster? if not, it's fine

[wraith junco]

I just like building

[indigo falcon]

in that case feel free, why not?

[sly pond]

How's about a puzzle/challenge farm? In a star system that contains mineral hotspots for Sodium, Silver, Cobalt, and Basalt, and no other biome-specific minerals, set up a self-sustaining Stasis Device farm. ;)

[pure elm]

My god nooooo

I went to teleport to a base and now I'm endlessly stuck falling through the world for some reason

It's trying to put me back in the base but it's failing to do so, and my last save was from yesterday

Okay I did it somehow, I moved a bit and it put me back where it should have

[indigo falcon]

ouch ouch ouch, glad you got out of that!

[pure elm]

Yeah it was annoying. I thought I would have to restart, and it sucked especially since this was an extremely radioactive planet and I had just put away the uranium

At least I had some ion batteries

[indigo falcon]

oof

[pure elm]

The most annoying part is that I had structures, but the terrain regeneration process buried my basement anyway and that was where my portal was

[indigo falcon]

terrain edits always revert over time

[pure elm]

They shouldn't revert inside of bases though

[indigo falcon]

put your teleporter at ground level

they shouldn't but they do. it's a longstanding bug/"feature".

you did mean teleporter, right?

[pure elm]

I did

[indigo falcon]

because there are a bunch of portals in the expd I'm never sure which a player means

ok

[pure elm]

For me "portal" and "teleporter" are kinda interchangable

[indigo falcon]

yeah we try to keep the terminology separate because especially newer players will think they both can do the same thing

[pure elm]

Anyhow I had initially built the stuff underground, because at the time I had no radio protection so I had to act fast

[indigo falcon]

hmm so a thing you could do

[pure elm]

Yeah I'll put the tp on ground level

[indigo falcon]

start by making the hole, for sure and then put the bc

but then after that, use the build camera and move it above ground to place a room

and everything else really

at the end you can pick up the bc and just move it into whichever room

I usually take the time to slam down 3 walls door and roof and then get inside to build the rest via build camera, but if you've a storm or no protection, underground hideyhole works just as well

[cobalt shore]

Are the X class mods in the expedition better than the S class ones?

Otherwise it won't technically be an upgrade.

[indigo falcon]

apparently there are more good/great rolls now

[civic snow]

Wait, can't they?

[indigo falcon]

portal: 1 per planet. needs you to learn glyphs to use it. takes you places you've never been

teleporter: you can build it. also at every space station. shows a list of places you've already been.

very different functions...

[civic snow]

Ah, thx. I thought the portals also only take you to places you've been before / portals you've activated before

[indigo falcon]

nope!

nms coord exch is full of posts of interesting finds, with glyphs

so other players who have learned the 16 glyphs can go to a portal, enter the address, and find the item too!

[pure elm]

X class upgrades vary a lot

Sometimes they can be really terrible, sometimes they are better than an S class upgrade

So it might be the same here unless thats different in the exp

[cobalt shore]

I kinda hope the rogue like aspect means X class upgrades are superior here.

[sly pond]

@pure elm @cobalt shore X Class modules that formerly required 500 rolls to find a near perfect one, are now 1 in 12 or so - that's 40x easier than they were, in Normal mode.

[pure elm]

Hopefully. Imagine getting x class upgrades that give you something worse than the previous tiers

[cobalt shore]

Ooooh that's good

[pure elm]

Yo nice

[cobalt shore]

Good. Not goof 😅

[pure elm]

I know that feel. I make typos often when im on my phone

[indigo falcon]

if I didn't make at least three typos in a message, I'm doing it wrong 😄

[cobalt shore]

G-class, goofy class.

[pure elm]

I care about my words being correctly written lol

[indigo falcon]

maybe we'll get g class next apr... 1

[final spindle]

https://i.imgur.com/juTiSqg.png

can someone explain me how do i unlock this?

[indigo falcon]

you don't.

these are all items you can only get via memory fragments

if the prng divinties smile upon you, you will get them; otherwise, you will not!

[final spindle]

https://i.imgur.com/irF8yN1.png

you mean this one?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[final spindle]

brb i'm going to break a leg

[indigo falcon]

you get many of those as milestone rewards. use them!

[final spindle]

😐

i have been crafting them like hell...

hahah

[indigo falcon]

you can craft 15, save, open them all, don't like anything? reload and try again

where substitute 15 for the large number you like

[final spindle]

yeah

ok just wanted to make sure, in case i was doing something stupid

[indigo falcon]

nope, game working as intended

[final spindle]

ok tks ^^

[sharp shore]

can anyone tell me if the single frigate you get along with the free freighter in this expedition comes in random rank?

i seem to remember on my 2nd save where the Frigate was a S Rank

but my current (3rd) save, the Frigate is a C Rank (and a very crappy one at that)

[final spindle]

i think its random

[indigo falcon]

I've only gotten C crappy but that would be a matter of the usual odds, most stuff is C right

[final spindle]

mine was A and i think my friend got a S

[indigo falcon]

now there's some luck

[final spindle]

lucky in some things, unlucky in others 😄

[dapper condor]

i see in leviathan the anomaly research costs a lot of nanites (and some are locked). Do you get them another way?

[indigo falcon]

memory fragments are supposed to be the way you get things.

having said that I sold off some fragments as useless (underwater meh) or duplicates, got nanites for a very few things that way

for locked items, memory fragments are the only way though

[dapper condor]

yeh, thought so, thanks 😄

one more thing, i am a noob. i started with an S multi tool with very few slots , should i sink the multi tool upgrades i get from memories in it? I am paranoid

[final spindle]

if you like the multi tool why not?

[indigo falcon]

you can, it will expand to 24

[dapper condor]

cool thanks

[final spindle]

@dapper condor for the Memory Frangments what you can do is what i'm doing atm, travel from T3 system to T3 system while doing other stuff:

• Look for Lush Biome Planets
• Trading to make money in Space Stations
• Look for Freighter S class
• Buy materials to craft Memory Fragments
• Exploring 🙂

[dapper condor]

never done trading

why S freighter btw?

[final spindle]

highest class = better stats i think

[indigo falcon]

more max slots, better bonuses for sending out frigate missions

[dapper condor]

i just used them as a greenhouse

[dapper condor]

ooh i didn't know they had bonuses for missions

[indigo falcon]

when you send out some frigates, check the numbers, there's a row for what the frighter and upgrades give

[dapper condor]

so refuse the first freighter, hold out for when it offers an S

[indigo falcon]

grinding for S is tedious

I'd take the first A honestly

in expd mode it's every 3 warps, no in game timer, so that should be not as bad as usual

[dapper condor]

awesome thanks, didn't know that

i bought planetary charts for factories, do they still giive "free" recipes?

[indigo falcon]

yes but.

they require 10 (ten) factory override units now instead of one 😄

hg devs thought of everything 😄

[dapper condor]

oh for fuk's sake. 😄

[dull phoenix]

yo how do i know if its a predatory animal? it starts attackin me as soon as it sees me?

[indigo falcon]

red paw over it

[dull phoenix]

alright thanks im havin a hard time finding them\

[indigo falcon]

there's two on the starter world, go adopt one

[dapper condor]

ok so basically they really don't want the usual money making methods, just move towards the expedition goals

[indigo falcon]

basically do not try to buy yourself out of trouble. (except, do, because that's how we players are 😛 😄 )

[dull phoenix]

whats the first planet name again

[indigo falcon]

see the pinned messages in here, got glyhps and everything

[dapper condor]

when you scan it from afar, it gives hints on behavior. That strider from starter planet said "easily startled" so that's enough to have it munch my face

[dull phoenix]

the milestone for exploring a freighter does not count for derelict freighters?

[indigo falcon]

no

if you mean "fallen giants"

[dull phoenix]

yea

i just finished exploring a derelict and it didnt tick off lol

[indigo falcon]

nope, go find a crashed freighter on land, interact with the distress beacon, that's all

easy peasy

[zinc elbow]

I found a derelict the other day but i couldn’t find a way onto it

[indigo falcon]

might have been the wrong type

one type is broken in a few pieces and not meant to land on

[zinc elbow]

Ah that’s the one I found

[indigo falcon]

you shoot the couple cargo pods around it and leave (or shoot the pirates that show up after)

[zinc elbow]

Ya that’s actually what I did. Except it was sentinels after

[indigo falcon]

a new wrinkle but the same basic plot, heh

[summer oyster]

@indigo falcon I don't know if you had recognized it yet but the X class upgrade is actually beyond the S class ones which is insane, I tried it out yesterday.

[dapper condor]

do memory imprints have a use? or theyu are trash?

the ones with the flavor text

[astral storm]

So... is there some trick to getting a Blaze Javelin in the expedition? Of course I can't just buy the BP and build it, and getting the BP, while possible, is also a very tall order on short notice.
The memory fragments used to drop them, but now they only ever drop geology/plasma cannons.

I've noticed that the pre-packaged modules I'm after seem to be restricted by stuff I have actually installed, but that hasn't done wonders for me either so far.

[summer oyster]

It's just lore.

[magic elbow]

expedition isnt over yet right?

[astral storm]

There's like 4 weeks to go, so no

[magic elbow]

i havent been able to play cuz of carpal tunnel

and also rly busy with programming

[summer oyster]

Unfortunately the mechanic is that you have to hope for it in the memory fragments, this applies to all of the technology installments in the game except some they hand to you from the milestones.

[indigo falcon]

about 3 weeks left. still time. hope your wrists get better!

[magic elbow]

i really wanna compleete the expedition thooo, i had some good progress but died somewhere in phase 2 😔

[astral storm]

Yyyyikes. Wishing you a recovery there

[magic elbow]

thwy're slowly getting better, i might see someone about it soon tho

[astral storm]

Well I know for a fact that there's a bit more than pure RNG.
Have a multi-tool with say the Survey Device not equipped, pre-packaged SDs drop. Have a multi-tool with a Survey Device, no pre-packagings of that ever.

Alas strangely enough switching to a tool without a Survey Device makes them drop, switching to a tool without a Blaze Javelin does not. Unless RNGeezus really, really, really hates my guts

[summer oyster]

Yes that's how it works too luckily.

[astral storm]

Yeah but only sort of. Frankly after getting ~50 plasma launchers/geology cannons/paralysis mortars and a grand total of exactly 0 Blaze Javelin's and Waveform Oscillators... it feels like something else is going on too.

I mean... I'd say maybe it's biased against repeats, but there's the Survey Device/Combat Scope and stuff coming up again too.

[upper tapir]

Anyone got a trick or two to finding crashed freighters? Unfortunately I died the other day and got thrown to the very beginning again, and I want to get that goal out if the way because it took me like 4 nights to find it the first time round.

[astral storm]

Distress charts, at least 4, and spam them all back to back until you get a freighter

[summer oyster]

Maybe a base that is named as crashed freighter which is nearby one.

[astral storm]

Possibly an option, but not necessarily quicker depending on player option. Depends on the location.

[upper tapir]

I have tried that, but for some reason it only allows me to do one at a time and I have to investigate each one before I can pull up the next distress chart. But I'll keep trying that.

[indigo falcon]

no, don't investigate

you need 5 maps, buy them all at once

then go to the planet of your choosing

open one. wrong place? don't visit. wait a little (10 seconds? 15?) and do the next map

still wrong? repeat...

if one gives an error, wait, then spam it again

[astral storm]

Every time it fails to go through, what's actually happening is that one individual RNG pass tried to mark a location of the same type. You can try to activate charts over and over again, if it fails, just repeat right then and there.

Also no need to wait at all from my experience

[indigo falcon]

I've heard both (wait and no wait). try without wait first then, if it's acting up, trying waiting a short period

[upper tapir]

Thanks y'all!! I will definitely give all those a try and see what happens! I appreciate the help!

[crisp bramble]

i got rewards for completing the first second and third loop somehow but i dont know what that means

[indigo falcon]

it means the community as a whole progressed that tier to completion

you benefit as a result 🙂

[astral storm]

Actually now that I think about it... even though memory fragments used to spam me with Fourier De-Limiters... I have never, not even once in opening like 500 of them seen a normal Phase Beam...
I'm starting to think something fishy is going on in the code.

[crisp bramble]

ohhh

ok thanks

[astral storm]

Yeah nah. It's not going to be happening it seems. If anyone can send me a Blaze Javelin/Waveform Oscillator ingame that'd be appreciated.

[sharp shore]

Done

[indigo falcon]

claim the role! see pins for how 🙂

[astral storm]

Just a screenshot of that, in this channel, and then <@&590975379678953522>, yeah?
Then one time for me and D_Umifan right above if we're already at it.

[wraith junco]

Finaly finished today my act.indium farm on expedition save.

[minor breach]

That’s insane

[wraith junco]

Now only thing to do i think is to upgrade my freighter

[wraith junco]

It was not that bad. Worst was the grind for buried data and searching for good spot.

[minor breach]

Ah still haven’t found a good spot on any of my saves

[wraith junco]

I found S class spots near water. It happend to me couple times on diffrent saves. maybe try there

[minor breach]

Ah okay thanks

I found an S class somewhere but I couldn’t find a generator hotspot anywhere like in a 1000u radius of the S class

[wraith junco]

Yeah it happend to me too

I builded that farm on S power and A deposit .

[minor breach]

Ah nice

[minor breach]

I put about 12 solar panels down but it wasn’t enough power

And I didn’t even have many extractors

[wraith junco]

For farm you need 5-7 K power

[minor breach]

Ah okay

[wraith junco]

For farm this size

Had to delete some unecesary things to fit in 3000 upload limit

[wraith junco]

You need one solar panel per extractor.

[minor breach]

K

[fringe agate]

Just got my whispering eggs

Time for an omelette I think

[spiral tinsel]

Anyone got a planet with hostile creatures

[barren creek]

You can't get multiple ||leviathan frigates|| from the expedition, can you? Can you even start more than one save?

[sullen meteor]

So, I reached the Nexus, spoke to Polo, and for some reason that resulted me in completing "Observing the Cycle" "Cycle Observed" "Perpetuity" "Recursion" and "A Way Out?" milestones, all at the same time

[spiral tinsel]

I need help

[barren creek]

Yep, those are the community achieved milestones that give you a bunch of upgrades right off the bat.

[wraith junco]

i dont think you can

[minor breach]

No you can’t

[barren creek]

yeah and it would likely only offer one from the quicksilver shop on other saves

[supple radish]

The starting planet in the Rowland Desk system definitely has aggressive animals. Go back there if you can.

[spiral tinsel]

What the station called?

[supple radish]

Rowland Desk something or other

[spiral tinsel]

Planet name?

[supple radish]

Christole Oich or something like that

[spiral tinsel]

Thxs

[supple radish]

Sure. Glad to help

[barren creek]

Don't forget to check the pins for stuff like that.

[indigo falcon]

read the pins, exaaactly. pins for all sisystem names and also a faq etc

[frosty pine]

From 200 memory fragments i opened, all of the X class mods got better rolls than the S class modules. So the rolls are probably adjusted for expedition.

[barren creek]

200, good gravy

[frosty pine]

I can farm around 100 in 10-15 mins 👀

[barren creek]

Sheesh.

[frosty pine]

The only limitation is pugneum, so i have no choice other than farming sentinels. Other than that, i just buy everything 😂

[sly pond]

@frosty pine I've suspected precisely that for about a week now, lol. As soon as I saw 1 in 12 near perfect rolls in Normal mode, my thinking was HG had to boost the odds everywhere in order to get the 1 in 4 rate in Expeditions.

I don't think that X will go back to its original odds, though. 1 in 50 is likely about as far as HG will be able to lower them without causing a riot, lol.

[frosty pine]

I hope not. It seems like a good progression way. It's ok if we have less odds to get X class mods, just don't make them worse than S class 😂

[random berry]

I really would like a scatter blaster module

[sly pond]

That's contradictory, at least how I interpreted it - X Class odds should yield less good rolls than S.

Especially now that they're so easy to acquire.

[frosty pine]

But that's for the expedition. I was thinking about after it ends 👀

I wouldn't mind bad rolls during the expedition considering how easy it is to farm them as you said

[silent agate]

Y’all having fun yet?

[frosty pine]

Yet? 👀

[silent agate]

Idk every time I come here people are always dying

[frosty pine]

Ohh

Sry don't know what that is 😂

[silent agate]

Is this supposed to be ironic, deathx91?

[frosty pine]

Yea, that's what i use an emoji of lol 👀

[silent agate]

Lmao okay

[dapper condor]

delivering 100 somnal dust to polo is supposed to give me emergency broadcast receiver each time?

[frosty pine]

Maybe i had a lot of luck, but i've been having a really good time since the beginning.

[frosty pine]

Yea

[silent agate]

I also have been having a good time, but didn’t seem like a common experience

Well I had a good time. I haven’t been on expedition since I completed it

[frosty pine]

I'm having fun now squencing my babies 👀

[supple radish]

Dying isn't fun, but you are able to rebound fairly quickly I think. I died about 3/4 through the expedition - 17 hours in (I was not racing through it at all, but just to set a baseline). From there, I had to restart after death and finished the entire expedition in about 11 hours. I give Hello Games credit for trying something different.

[silent agate]

I fully support them trying something different. I think it sucks that there was so much backlash originally for not being “inclusive” just because they were trying something different. I enjoyed it. I’m sure people that play survival enjoyed it. It’s difficult and not for everyone, but there’s other modes for casual play anyway 🙂

[frosty pine]

Tbf, it will never be fully inclusive

The expedition based on combat didn't include me for example 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just because i don't like it

[supple radish]

True, you can't please all people all of the time. The cooking expedition was not for me. [Correction: cooking was just a small part of the Exobiology expedition]

[frosty pine]

😮

I missed that 😂

[silent agate]

Look at elden ring that unapologetically abuses it’s player base with its difficulty. At least nms has different modes available

[indigo falcon]

there's a difference between "it's boring" or "it's tedious" and "it's really stressful and not at all fun" I guess

[frosty pine]

For me, Elden Ring "is really stressful and not at all fun" 😂

[indigo falcon]

allowing players to select the difficulty in general in expeditions might make some less boring to folks

so people who normally play in survival can have that, people who usually play in normal can do that

[silent agate]

Good thing it’s a limited time event and you don’t have to deal with it for long

[frosty pine]

Maybe instead of just full normal, you keep your progress but some techs break or something like that

Idk, i think that may be a good idea

[silent agate]

I think it being in a different mode dictates the type of gameplay they intended for the specific expedition

[frosty pine]

The permadeath aspect really makes sense with the looping lore 🤷🏻‍♂️

I wouldn't play permadeath normally tho 👀

[indigo falcon]

yes, it's just that some part of the player base really finds the normal play mode of expeditions too easy

allowing players to select the mode might keep everyone happy

[silent agate]

There’s always something people are unhappy about

At least they can control what’s gonna piss people off this way

[dull phoenix]

is there a way to harvest the eggs without getting screwed by the horrors? i cant get the larval without almost dying

[indigo falcon]

there are a few approaches people use

here's one: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/v1dmzq/thank_you_to_the_guy_who_built_this_base_so_i/

you can find various user bases like that or set up your own

move between groups of eggs on the walkway, hop in, shoot egg, grab core, repeat until done, move to next box

manual save at the beginning to avoid a game-breaking glitch forcing a reload (rare but can happen)

there are other approaches too

[dull phoenix]

alright thanks

i found one base similar to this but the horrors still swarmed me'

ive got like one + left i think i wanna get some health first

[indigo falcon]

the game should force the horrors out through the walls so you can grab the eggs without taking damage

[dull phoenix]

even if they are no clippin on the floor?

[indigo falcon]

but the walled off areas need to be small, 4 plain walls like the picture

[dull phoenix]

if they are on the floor glitched thru can they still hurt me

[indigo falcon]

there is no floor, that's walkways at "roof" level

you plave four walls around each set of eggs

[dull phoenix]

oh yea im not talkin abt the pic anymore

[indigo falcon]

connect the top of the walls with these walkways, quite wide as you see

[dull phoenix]

hold on lemme take a pic

[indigo falcon]

sure

they may initially spawn in partway in the space with you but the game will shove them out

starting with full health and having a couple shields is probably a good idea just for added protection

[dull phoenix]

wait i can send pics right

[indigo falcon]

#nms-photomode-gallery

oh. I guess here then 😄

[dull phoenix]

wait

wrong

or do u get what i mean

u want a top view

[indigo falcon]

sure

let's see it

[dull phoenix]

sorry had to crop it lol

idk why i couldnt j paste

so yea the eggs are basically on those hallway things

give me a sec im under attack lol

[indigo falcon]

I like this a lot less

4 walls around each cluster, find a base like that

or make one

[wraith badge]

that's a bad design if the horrors get in to the walkway then they probably won't glitch outside of the walls, best to find a one with just 4 walls around each egg cluster ... there was one called EV Eggs but I don't remember which AP it's near

[supple radish]

I just parked my ship right next to them. Harvest 1 or 2 eggs quickly, jump in your ship and fly away. Come back in a few minutes. Repeat till you get 10.

[dull phoenix]

yea i tried that for awhile but i have bad luck itll roll away rlly far haha

and disappear

[wraith badge]

you have to be quick to collect them

[indigo falcon]

some people do this trick: go to the roof. shoot an egg on one side. horrors spawn in there. jump down to other side...

harvest eggss until the horros come around the building, back to roof, go to the side they aren't on, continue, etc

need reasonable jet pack for that

[dull phoenix]

yep i just yoloed it

got one egg

quickly jumped

sorry if im askin alot haha i got nms like a week ago and ive been playin ever since

[indigo falcon]

no worries, hope you are enjoying the game!

[wraith badge]

I usually waste the Chromatic Metal to place the base computer and make a base so i can build walls around each egg cluster and then harvest them that way then when done remove the base computer .... trying to do them in other ways I found problematic in Permadeath so went for the easier option of making a temp base

[dull phoenix]

oh yea i can try that

but ngl im lazy to build a base

[indigo falcon]

it's ... your funeral 😄 😄

[dull phoenix]

HAHA yep hope i dont have to pay the price

if i do then guess gotta restart

[wraith badge]

I just built 4 walls around each cluster then jumped in to one and started harvesting, when done in one jumped to the roof and dropped in to another cluster until I'd got the 10 I required

[marsh haven]

i did it like this. without an attempt to install jetpack upgrades.
if you grab an egg and then hop up onto the roof the monsters won't aggro you (no green faces appear) which gives you the freedom to hop down and gather more.
once you are aggrod, they will try shoot you on the roof and jumping down will get you charged. so you need to let the aggro time out.
an additional complication is they now either move through the building or quickly spawn all around it so its not possible to gather peacefully on one side.
but the no-aggro behavior means you can quickly harvest an egg and move back to the roof before they notice you.

[elfin birch]

So sorry, I know this probably gets asked a lot. I just died for the first time in this expedition in a long time. I had hit anchor 4. I don't start back at anchor 4, I start back at the very beginning?

thank god I put my saved game onto a USB.

[marsh haven]

a more in game way to deal with this problem is to build a base on each anchor point planet.

[indigo falcon]

see the pinned message "persistence after death" to see what does stick

in fact, see the pins generally

[indigo falcon]

people have used the "one side other side" method as recently as this expd so it does still work, just a note.

[marsh haven]

it really does not work. they surround the building almost immediately. you get at most one egg on the other side before they arrive. unless xbox works differently to other platforms...
the advantage of the new behaviour is that there is at most 2, usually just 1, guarding each egg cluster

[wraith badge]

Pleased I'm not the only one ... took me 3 goes to finally get it done 😉 Good Luck! 😄

[elfin birch]

@wraith badgeHey, good to see you!

[wraith badge]

and You! 😄

[elfin birch]

oh good, my USB save is only 4 hours older than my death.

[indigo falcon]

I can only report what I've seen in streams. (I went the base route)

[brave rain]

Isn’t Alecape beta the first anchor?

[indigo falcon]

seeee the pinnnnssss

all the systems and glyphs and anchor worlds are in the pins

[brave rain]

I know, but the message says alecape beta is in the second anchor, I thought it was the first anchor (or maybe I missed one, idk)

[indigo falcon]

see the pin with the glyphs and all the systems. it names each one.

and it is correct.

[elfin birch]

@brave rainAlecape beta is the 2nd anchor, according to my spreadsheet, so I'd say that backs up the pin

[brave rain]

Oh

Maybe I missed one? I have no idea but the first anchor point it told me to go was that one

[indigo falcon]

first anchor point is Ennect

[brave rain]

Hmmmm

[indigo falcon]

trust me on this.

[brave rain]

I’ll have to retrace my steps then

[brave rain]

I believe you, I just went to the second anchor first on accident I guess

[indigo falcon]

😄

[brave rain]

How did I even do that

[indigo falcon]

skipped over Cebrac-Eliwyn system entirely? not in your space station list?

[brave rain]

I have only visited the starter system, toympiae III, and the infested frozen world

[indigo falcon]

there are two infested frozens. was yours with storms or without?

[brave rain]

Oh is the first and second anchor both frozen infested?

[indigo falcon]

yes

handy links to planet info: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Expedition_7:_Leviathan

[brave rain]

Oh I get it now. Also my base says to “expand” but I don’t know how

[brave rain]

Thanks

[indigo falcon]

click on it

or you mean something else?

[brave rain]

I mean for the frozen infested base, the mission tells me to “expand the base” I have a little wooden shack and that’s it

[indigo falcon]

oh. build more

another floor piece, walls, roof

add more until you have 16 parts total

[brave rain]

Ok, I thought I meant to go 400u away to the base limit and place outside of it

[indigo falcon]

no no 😄

just make the hut bigger

2x2 with walls and roofs ought to do ok

[brave rain]

Ok, that saves a lot of traveling time 😆

[indigo falcon]

so how did it go??

[dull phoenix]

i am restarting

welp imma build a base next time

jetpack ran out of fuel to get out

[indigo falcon]

ah dangit

[brave rain]

I also got the rocket boots from a memory fragment or something, and Ive seen people here telling me not to use them, but I can’t do the punch momentum thing because I’m on Vr. But because I can’t do the punch momentum, I have more experience with rocket boots (I use them in my main save) so I feel like I won’t die from using them but idk.

[indigo falcon]

it's up to you

fall damage is much worse in survival/perma, just bear that in mind

[brave rain]

Ok

I’ll play it safe

[indigo falcon]

what does that even mean

[brave rain]

I deleted it because it could be considered off-topic

[indigo falcon]

oh. I didn't ask for that reason, I genunely didn't understand what was going on. anyways

[brave rain]

I know, I just didn’t feel it was on topic enough. It’s because I’m on my phone, and can’t get on websites until all my chores are done

[dull phoenix]

when the expedition ends there is no more way to get the leviathan right

[brave rain]

I don’t think so

[dull phoenix]

aw man

[indigo falcon]

3 weeks so get it done if yo ucan

[frosty pine]

No legal way at least

[dapper condor]

if a player activates a freighter distress beacon. can another activate it ?

[indigo falcon]

if you're in the same multiplayer instance there could be an issue

nms really got to get their shit together on multiplayer sessions

[dapper condor]

i found a freighter at the second anchor system, not even the same planet, it was covered in communication beacons. I don't know if i couldn;t activate the freighter distress beacon because of another player or because it was somehow covered in communication beacons

[indigo falcon]

yeah the comm balls can get in the way, got to get right up to the beacon and try

[sullen meteor]

lmao someone named their base "No Man's Groundhog Day"

[indigo falcon]

at least they had a sense of humour about it 😛

[jagged charm]

seems we reached T5

or T4

[indigo falcon]

yesterday late iirc

[jagged charm]

jezus HG tone down the "completion" music

[indigo falcon]

Free pugneum and techs 🤷🏻‍♂️

[indigo falcon]

distractions when you have a goal

[jagged charm]

pirates dont drop pugneum

and therir drops are garbages

i rather fight sentinels

at least those are worth it

[frosty pine]

It takes me more time to get into my freighter than destroying them so...

[brave rain]

There drops are better now that x-class has been buffed higher then s-class

[astral storm]

Can relate, thanks to the wave of X-Class modules

[brave rain]

Dang

How many x-class is that?

[frosty pine]

I didn't have luck with weapons sadly

Just using phase beam

[astral storm]

That's a double square cluster of Infra-Knife Tech, Gun+3 X in the general tab and Q-Resonator+3 X in the tech tab

I still wish I could get a new Blaze Javelin+Waveform Oscillator module for my new multi-tool, but I think for now I'll pick a fight with sentinels to see how quickly I can shred them

[frosty pine]

I was using that before

But then i got shield upgrades

I just blow em up and recharge shield with the containers

[jagged charm]

im ready :d

[astral storm]

You can recharge exo-suit shields?

[frosty pine]

Yea, sentinel containers recharge it

[jagged charm]

not all of them tho

[frosty pine]

You don't need all of them to recover neither 👀

Whenever i'm farming sentinels, i just shoot a few containers when i'm half shield

And then keep shooting sentinels

When i'm done, i just disable sentinels and start farming the containers

[astral storm]

Ah, right. I simply used an overclocked blaze javelin with stun and some crit hits

[frosty pine]

I killed my first biped sentinel like that

Now i face tank them 😂

I've never felt so safe playing NMS after i got all the shields

Previously i always hid away from sentinels

[random berry]

nice. activated indium planet with silver deposits

just need to unlock the electro generator and the extractor

[frosty pine]

How much power did the mining thing used?

[random berry]

idk exactly, I always just typically throw like 5-6 down

I never calculated it out

I think with solar panels its 1 panel per extractor

[frosty pine]

Ohh that's not bad at all

Less struggle than finding mining hotspot and electro spot close enough

[jagged charm]

you have the power command too btw

you can use it in #bot-spam

[frosty pine]

Neat

[cobalt shore]

I've established another base nearby a Sentinel Nest. Location: Rendezvous 2 system. Planet: Tufield XVI. Coordinates in top right corner of the second picture.

[frosty pine]

Are those normal or aggressive sentinels?

[indigo falcon]

looks like normal

[cobalt shore]

Normal. Combat Sentinels though, but they won't do anything until you attack them or the nest/pillar.

[indigo falcon]

I guess 24 hours from now people will see it when you're not there. cool!

[frosty pine]

I usually build the base around the console 👀

That way i can be safe while disabling them

In case i was farming them

[cobalt shore]

I want to help people at succeeding the expedition, since many struggle with it.

[indigo falcon]

yeah, my base is near crashed freighter and pillar, so it got uploaded

[random berry]

oooof

i need 261 salvaged data to get everything i need

[indigo falcon]

261? on expedition?

[brave rain]

Do you need to build a portal at your base to teleport to it?

[frosty pine]

No

[indigo falcon]

*teleporter

and no. you want a teleporter in order to leave in a convenient fashion is all

[brave rain]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

but where is your ship. hrm

[fringe agate]

I'll be going to anchor point 4 tonight or tomorrow and building a base

I dunno, back that way

[indigo falcon]

"enjoy"

[jagged charm]

also

fyi again

RDV4 S class freighter mods

[indigo falcon]

oh heck

[fringe agate]

Ok

But I'm not going to get anything for my freighter

[indigo falcon]

I totally saved all those pics in a subdir and forgot to post, my bad 😦

[jagged charm]

haha

[fringe agate]

Sad times

[indigo falcon]

tomorrow.

[jagged charm]

meh

also posted it on NMSCE discord

[indigo falcon]

good good

[jagged charm]

also finally some good X class XD

#only in exp tho

hmmm

[indigo falcon]

d;oh

gj hg, as always

[jagged charm]

extra colours

how do they know?

[median ember]

Can i change my looks in expedition

[jagged charm]

yes

[median ember]

He got drunk...in short.... 🤣

[frosty pine]

*high 👀

[autumn halo]

Nice! If you want to make it super easy to complete, throw up the Yoda huts around the terminals - whoever set up the sentinel base I went to had done that and they couldn't even really attack me.

[indigo falcon]

I never did collect the hut, have all the items unlocked too...

just did it vanilla

[astral storm]

Hm... So I've been farming Sentinel Frigates for some of that sweet pugneum and stuff and... I thought we can't blow them up? One of them went full boom though

[indigo falcon]

but anyways you can just walk right up to the terminal with the mech looking on and disable, they don't stop you

[wary pasture]

Omg I thought that was just me the one time. I walked right past a Walker then deactivated his metal behind.

The whole time I was expecting the worst

[indigo falcon]

nope, don't shoot them, they will look at you stupidly as you walk right up and punch the buttons

[autumn halo]

I just wish the pillars were worth doing - all I've ever gotten from them are C-class rifles. Granted, I've only done maybe 5 total, but still.

[indigo falcon]

you can collect the few barrels from the self-destructed sentinels and also shoot the three control node for more stuffs

[wary pasture]

Honestly the ez glass and fact they are towers is why I visit em. No need for an allout firefight to get 20kills.

[brave rain]

I do them so they LEAVE MY FRICKIN SETTLEMENT ALONE

[brave rain]

I do them for the expedition for glass and three free kills

[random berry]

yeah one of my bases i set up near a pillar so i dont have to worry about dumb shit

[autumn halo]

Is that what they do?! I just gave up on settlements entirely cause f that noise.

[brave rain]

Yah you can deactivate the sentinels in your system for 24 hours

[frosty pine]

It's not timed

[wary pasture]

Yep same.

[brave rain]

Really?

[frosty pine]

It's until you leave the system or you reload the save

[brave rain]

Oh ok

I always thought it was 24 hours, idk why

[autumn halo]

That's kind of cool, but still too much work for me. People at the settlement are so damn needy.

[brave rain]

Yeah I wish settlements were better

[autumn halo]

It's a cool idea, but there doesn't seem to be much reward for all that work.

[frosty pine]

👀

Free kelp 😂

[brave rain]

I wish I could have a building list and pick from it instead of it being two choices randomly. higher level buildings can’t be accessed until settlement is a higher class. And their would be building that can do things like add ship decals, make upgrades, make food. And I wish you could hire NPCs to work at settlements from areas ex: you go to this system because it has an s-class cook.

[autumn halo]

Maybe kelp is handy if you're really into the Nutrient Processor? 🤷

[brave rain]

Yeah. I wish opening inventory paused time so eating food would actually be viable (many give movement and combat boosts)

And that you could turn all of it in in one click at the anomaly

[frosty pine]

That would be too easy

[brave rain]

Wdym?

[frosty pine]

You would be immortal with enough food

"Ohh my health is low." pops inventory

[brave rain]

Well heal food would need to be nerfed. And re balencing would need to be done. But if they did people would actually use food

And maybe they could have certain attacks and certain enemy’s can disable your food buffs

[brave rain]

Legend of Zelda moment

[autumn halo]

Or if there was a quick-bar style access - just make the act of eating food take time like in Monster Hunter: World

[frosty pine]

Or have cooldown

At least in combat

[distant knot]

Trying to get the part done where you die and recover your dead body or w/e but not seeing it on the map after I respawn. And yes I had stuff on me so why isn't it showing up so I can complete it?

[indigo falcon]

milestone?

[autumn halo]

I don't recall having to recover my body - you just die and then load your save from the main screen again.

There's nothing to recover.

[distant knot]

Oh I'm an idiot I was thinking that's what the memory fragment was

[indigo falcon]

is this the iterate/repeat milestone or something else?

[median ember]

Idk how to increase my population... guess my settlement people has bad luck with ladies just like me 😭

[frosty pine]

You just do stuff

The choices that your citizens give you from time to time will increase it

[median ember]

My settlement reached A class ages ago... nothing is changing

It doesn't go positive or negative.... happiness doesn't reduce even if i take wrong decision and neither productivity increases.,.gets reduced though.

[frosty pine]

Maybe you didn't build enough houses 🤷🏻‍♂️

[median ember]

Idk...its gotten so big i lost my way now and then

I have housing block... weather machines.... farms.... landing pads...dance clubs...all

It seems like a bug🤔

[obtuse mirage]

Complete random

[dapper condor]

can you get base blue prints when crafting memories?

[frosty pine]

No

[dapper condor]

so basically they don't want us making bases in expedition

[frosty pine]

You can. Just not as easy as in normal mode

[dapper condor]

this expedition anyway

[indigo falcon]

small bases only, not helper ones for others

but we do it anyways

[dapper condor]

30- 100 salvage data for one blueprint seems a bit too tedious for me

or is there an easy way to get them?

[frosty pine]

Get yourself a beetle and farm them

That's the way

Or find a flat enough planet without obstacles around and use the pilgrim or melee/reload combo

You can get all the needed technologies in a few hours if you are really into farming them

I wouldn't farm all the building blueprints tho

[dapper condor]

maybe the base npc quest line will give some of the blue prints

if i can even start it

[frosty pine]

Nope

At least i wasn't able to

[ashen shore]

Just finished and this discord helped immensely.

[cobalt shore]

You don't even need to attack them to extract their weaponry or to shut their forces down.

[blissful raft]

<@&590975379678953522> woo!

[ashen turret]

I feel sorry for you though, not discovering at least one system

(think I only had 1 or 2)

[dense basin]

at this point in the expedition it's pretty difficult unless you go far off the beaten path

[ashen turret]

well I had it mostly done in the first few days

[blissful raft]

I only started like 3 days ago so yeah

I hardly warped to any systems

especially because I grabbed a crashed exotic so its warp range was even higher

this was my first expedition though, hadn't played for a long time, I think they didnt exist last time I played

[dense basin]

This is a spicy one to start with 😆

[frosty pine]

🙈

What can i say? I like to walk 👀

[blissful raft]

Yeah it was, but I still felt like the glitches were the most dangerous thing

One of my deaths was pulse driving into a freighter that was in front of the station

and then I almost died when I glitched through the roof of my own capital ship somehow, was able to reload the save in time

[frosty pine]

That happens when you boost heading towards the hangar when the freighter just spawned

[blissful raft]

ok gotcha

I used the minotaur a lot and got the cannon for the sentinels objective, was not too bad and then walled in the whispering eggs for that part

[frosty pine]

Yea, i like the minotaur too

Too bad you can't paint the sentinel mods

[dense basin]

It happens at other random times, too.

I just always get out of pulse before I get too close to my freighter

[frosty pine]

Ohh i never pulse to my freighter

I just call it again

[blissful raft]

when it happend to me I was looking at the galaxy map in the command deck, when I exited the map I popped through and was looking down into the ship hallways and stuff

[dense basin]

Sometimes the freighter floors split up and get all weird. I plonk down a save point, do a manual save and reload because I don't want to be losing my perma over that

[blissful raft]

ok, I did see some gaps in my floors like the previous day

[dense basin]

It shouldn't have transferred over between sessions

But it's sadly not that unusual as bugs go

[blissful raft]

idk, im not too worried about it now since im done with it and prob wont voluntarily play a normal perm death save lol

[thick smelt]

ive been playing it nice and slow, only logging out on the Space Anomaly

its the only place to

[dense basin]

Safer to log out in a space station - the anomaly is a buggy place

[thick smelt]

really? 🤔

[dense basin]

Oh yes

[blissful raft]

I got even more paranoid after I saw a reddit post of someone being sucked out the space station door and dying after he landed

[dense basin]

floors disappear, ships can't land, ships get knocked in/out of the door, you can't take off,

I think they fixed the bug where you could get stuck on top

[thick smelt]

ive only died twice, both my own dumb fault, AFKing outside and pissing off an epic carny

[dense basin]

lol

[thick smelt]

didnt know they 1 shot you in this mode

[dense basin]

I have never heard of anything like that!

But this is a game with extremely random things

[blissful raft]

yeah he had the little video of it and everything

[dense basin]

Anomaly bugginess is very common

I never died to glitches in any of my playthroughs

Once to being cocky with a blue flower boost

[thick smelt]

the only bugs i ever get are PURELY graphical and its my card going "ok, im done, i need a nap cause all im going to do is render the lighting engine and thats it"

[final spindle]

where do you see those stats?

[frosty pine]

Expedition tab

[blissful raft]

here it is @dense basin https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/vazj9m/this_is_how_i_just_died_in_my_expedition_on_the/

[dense basin]

Bold choice, going to an anchor in multiplayer

[blissful raft]

haha

[dense basin]

(Pro tip: don't do that)

[final spindle]

when that happens i do auto ALT+F4 😄

[dense basin]

But seriously, that's awful

[frosty pine]

Even already finishing the expedition, i'm hesitant of turning on multiplayer

I kinda want to see people in the anomaly, but also don't

[thick smelt]

😁 i live dangerously

multiplayers always on

[dense basin]

I mostly play with it off but I turn it on to look at other peoples' ships in the anomaly sometimes, and to play with my brother

[autumn halo]

You'll just get flooded with single units of Ferrite Dust as people dupe

[frosty pine]

You can party up with it off tho

[frosty pine]

Ohh true

[dense basin]

I can join him with it off, he can't join me. It's weird
