nms-expedition

[median ember]

Goes well with my stupid looks

Until something starts to fire at me....then....i show true powers of my STARTER ship....

[median ember]

Its S class now

[smoky latch]

I already scraped it lol

the starter ship

[median ember]

I kept it.... nothing comes close it .....i have survived like many elite pirates with it....

Well could be my fighting style

Photon cannon.... INFRA-KNIFE....rocket.....goodbye....NEXT TARGET

[ashen shore]

Random questions is a S class solar ship good?

[smoky latch]

i reckon anything S is good haha

[ashen shore]

Lol

[median ember]

Not exactly...

[smoky latch]

i know but a S is a S you know

[median ember]

Base stats are higher yes...but with wrong upgrades... arrangements of upgrades and fighting style it can be brought down to knees...

[smoky latch]

Well that depends on what ur style is

[ashen shore]

Mine sucks because it doesnt have manh inventory slots

*many

[median ember]

What ship....radiant pillar or radiant claws

[median ember]

True...but arrangements do matter....you should try it

[ashen shore]

I feel stupid but wdym

[median ember]

What is your ship name...is it starter ship

[smoky latch]

Yeah I know i just put the upgrades together and it works

[ashen shore]

No. I bought it off some guys at a spacd station

*guy

[median ember]

A box arranged works best as comparison to line arrangement

[ashen shore]

Well maybe thats considered starter. But im making it my final too

Im adding specific upgrades for my main

Well maybe

[median ember]

Uhhhhhhh....starter ship are pretty much limitless...you can have as many as 21 tech slots on them

[median ember]

See that?

[ashen shore]

What makes it considered a startership tho

[median ember]

I got it at start. When i started a new game.

[ashen shore]

I mean im like 40 percent done no clue if that counts or not

[median ember]

If you keep it long enough....they got lots of potential.

[ashen shore]

Ah

[median ember]

Okay ..later...thanks for convo.

[ashen shore]

See ya.

[arctic vale]

Does anyone know a good planet in the expedition to find storm crystals. I've not been able to find one but searching for a while

[smoky latch]

dont go to planets with aggressive sentinels

just any planet with storm, I went to a scorched planet

[arctic vale]

Alright I'll keep looking

Thanks for the advice

[cobalt shore]

Mostly extreme hazard planets

[indigo falcon]

see the pinned message "min-faq" for these

in fact folks, see the pins in general, lots of good stuff in there

[arctic vale]

How do I see pins on mobile? Sorry I don't use discord much

[indigo falcon]

there's a pin icon somewhere, looks like

near the top maybe?

I'm on desktop so I can't tell you exactly but I know it's there someplace, another user found it the other day in their mobile app

google says "You can check all the pinned messages by sliding the mobile screen to left, here you will see the Pin icon." but I dunno if that's current or works for your app

[arctic vale]

Thanks I found it. now just waiting on a storm

[indigo falcon]

oh so, where was the pin icon? so I can tell other mobile users, @arctic vale

[wraith venture]

this is how it works / shows on iOS. not sure if it's the same / similar on Android.

[indigo falcon]

thanks a lot for the info!!

[wraith venture]

i can click on the channel name at the top for that slide to happen. or just slide left myself to show that section with the Pins icon at the top.

[indigo falcon]

gotcha. made a note, now all I need to do next time is be able to... find that note, lol

[native bloom]

Are x-class upgrades unlocked yet? Thinking of starting another playthrough

[indigo falcon]

oh they have been for several days now! where ya been? 🙂

[native bloom]

I stopped paying attention when I finished the first run 🙂

[indigo falcon]

lol

well if you're gonna go back through with the best gear, now's the time indeed. still almost 3 weeks to do it

you won't need anything like that of course

[native bloom]

I figured I'd use it to test some mods on new playthroughs

[indigo falcon]

anything in particular??

[native bloom]

I need to test gEpic and gLonely. Not sure how well gLonely will work with the expedition though

or any expedition

[arctic vale]

Anyone know what the final optional reward to unlock is?

[indigo falcon]

more memory fragments I guess

there's no new tier of gear

I mean... what could there be.

[foggy cloak]

Or do the timeglasses disappear?

And we can now unlock the blueprints?

[indigo falcon]

hmm yeah, it might could work with this one, you don't absolutely have to talk to any npcs outside of polo (and the leviathan I guess)

[indigo falcon]

I'm guessing that's a huge... LOL 😄

[arctic vale]

I know the tier gap was a really big one for 5 so I figured it would have to be a good reward

[native bloom]

Hmm, as I understood it, the optional objectives would be complete when I loaded up a new expedition, but they are not. Any ideas?

[indigo falcon]

the last one is not, the rest are/should be

have you done the very first thing (absorb a memory)?

[smoky meadow]

for me they completed the moment after i talked to Polo

[sharp shore]

they autocomplete themselves (except the last one) when you get to polo and speak to him

[native bloom]

Ah, the rewards I'm getting are X, so I guess it doesn't matter

[indigo falcon]

oic, that's inconvenient

yes, although we think X with a skew towards the better end

[sharp shore]

still random i think

pretty sure i got a garbage one but i may be remembering wrong

[smoky meadow]

is not like you get much of anything else unless you grind a ton of nanites

[indigo falcon]

from reports (I went through on C/B): there are fewer bad rolls for X and the good ones are very good

[arctic vale]

Can confirm from testing that x class is definitely better now. Even on non expedition saves

[native bloom]

They are definitely better. Before this patch there were no perfect hazprot upgrades (10/10/10/10); now there are

[echo bane]

is there any later need to have kept the starter solar ship or should i just switch to my good ol' reliable golden vector?

[native bloom]

You can switch

[indigo falcon]

do what you like. some people like to switch right away to get things done faster (but at this point you do get an S solar to start)

some people prefer the constraints of what the expedition provides

[granite axle]

<@&590975379678953522>

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[granite axle]

did it in 2 and a half hours

[indigo falcon]

very nice! how did you like it?

[marsh haven]

Its probably a terrible idea, but HG should setup a leaderboard with expedition finish times on nms.com

[granite axle]

it was good, the second time i decided to speedrun everything

[indigo falcon]

there's already out of game mechanisms for speed run competitions

(and people using them)

[marsh haven]

(terrible in that it would be filled with what most people consider outright cheating)

[indigo falcon]

well, there are rules for that

full video uncut must be available

no using player bases, no save scumm, no qs items or expd rewards or twitch drops from previous expds

in-game time is definitive (not loading time)

etc

[granite axle]

exactly, trying to track legitamate runs takes an army to verify

[indigo falcon]

obviouisly, no mods either.

[marsh haven]

that said - being able to filter it down to ones friends list...

[native bloom]

The no mods part would be difficult to monitor. It would be easy to make just very slight adjustments that aren't obvious in a video

[indigo falcon]

yup

also no duping, blah blah, all that stuff

fine for your own game, not for a speedrun

[native bloom]

Whereas I'm ruining any speedrun on this, as I'm waiting in my ship for daylight

[indigo falcon]

you've got other reasons for your repeat run(s)

[marsh haven]

do we have x-class ships yet?

[indigo falcon]

nope. S ship and mt, X upgrades 😄

[marsh haven]

pants

[native bloom]

Maybe next year when they try this mode again 🙂

[indigo falcon]

I hope they will have made it more accomodating to players of different modes by then!

[granite axle]

next expedition needs a living freighter, so i can fly a living ship surrounded by living frigates

[indigo falcon]

um that "surrounded" thing is already not gonna happen. 1 living frigate per fleet, sorry 😛

[granite axle]

not for PC gamers

[indigo falcon]

gonna edit them in? I seeeeeee

[marsh haven]

multiplayer freighters, that can be manuvered ala homeworld / eve online.

[granite axle]

yep, gonna convert my entire fleet into copies of The Leviathan

[indigo falcon]

multiplayer that isn't broken. how about that first.

no Normandy? sniff 😢

[granite axle]

according to the freighter computer the living ships are normandys lol

[marsh haven]

well, if we want non broken things,
then we go right back to, how about just a single cancel button on controllers. Rather than 3. and likewise a single boost binding. In fact, if cant get controller bindings right, how about they just make them customizable.

[granite axle]

the control bindings just make sense after awhile

[indigo falcon]

yep bit of an oversight there from the devs, woops 😄

[smoky latch]

i just finished the expedition, but like can I transfer the leviathan frigate to my main save or nah?

[marsh haven]

no. no they don't. Why can't I cancel out of this screen? Oh its the galactic map. I need to use ≡.
Why can't I cancel out of this screen? Oh. its an npc interaction. I need to choose the dialog option "cancel".
Its always bloody different.

[indigo falcon]

you don't need to transfer it; you can claim expedition rewards one time each on every save

[smoky latch]

ohhh

[indigo falcon]

go to the quicksilver vendor and "claim expedition rewards" on that save

[smoky latch]

sweet

cheers

[native bloom]

I'm just realizing how good the start on my first run of the expedition was. I've got no dihydrogen anywhere nearby

[smoky latch]

oh yeah speaking of the start

i stuck for quite some time tryna get hermetic seal

and found out you can kill yourself to get it lol

[indigo falcon]

that is the main way to get it

the slow way is to find a trade terminal etc that sells one

[smoky latch]

is it lol I thought its meant to be finding a trade terminal

[marsh haven]

i love when you first spawn, theres Fe+ and stuff in your inventory so you can repair everything else, and quickly discover the missing hermetic seal and the fact you need to die.

[indigo falcon]

nope, the milestone is named the way it is for a reason

[marsh haven]

and when you die those things arn't given to you

[smoky latch]

true

yeah I was so frustrated there was barely any oxygen near my spawn

i was like fuck fuck fuck im gonna die

[marsh haven]

my spawn had none. couldnt find a plant with any. had to complete the milestone that gave more life packs

[indigo falcon]

I think that's just get to your ship

[smoky latch]

yeah I collected all the life gel and stuff and someone told me just kms

[native bloom]

Forgot I had mods installed for a second:

[marsh haven]

co-ords?
😛

[smoky latch]

🤣

[marsh haven]

with those big-ass side pods... must be an explorer class ship

[indigo falcon]

symmetrical though, has a nice look

[marsh haven]

would totally clip everything when docking in a station im sure

[native bloom]

Ok yeah, receiving rewards on the Observing the Cycle quest (talking to Polo) is the trigger for the optional quests to be claimable

[indigo falcon]

thanks for that verification

[native bloom]

Hmm, only unlocked the first one

[marsh haven]

the amount of variety in nms does begin to disappoint after a while...
could really do with a Spore inspired upgrade to spaceships (and flaurna)

[arctic vale]

I think at this point they are very careful about tweaking too much because they don't want to reset the universe again

[indigo falcon]

one of the limitations of procgen is that even if you double the number of fauna parts let's say, still after a few hundred hours in the game most combinations will look familiar to players

[native bloom]

So I'm missing something, not sure what:

[indigo falcon]

give 5 times to polo

oh. sorry my bad

that's the participants in time one and I can't read

um

[marsh haven]

i would be happy with a universe reset. with a simple rule. The procgen in the first galaxies is fixed. And every year that passes, the procgen in the next galaxies gets locked down.

[indigo falcon]

maybe the memory loop piece?

[marsh haven]

then there can always be bleeding edge, fresh new procgen, being deployed in galaxy 24+. and then a year later, galaxy 30+. (because space for galaxy variants).

Also, when they do make brand new procgen, the new "edge" galaxy becomes the Newclid - where new characters spawn.

[native bloom]

Huh, I just had to wait and the others unlocked

So talk to Polo, then wait

[indigo falcon]

oh! that's a bit odd

how long a wait?

[marsh haven]

So new accounts and characters always end up in the fresh procgen. and existing players and bases remain stable

[native bloom]

less than 5 minutes. Had to get a delivery and get ready to eat dinner 🙂

[smoky meadow]

they probably unlock 1 by 1, like how the iterate/die one doesnt unlock immediately but when it shows the message

[marsh haven]

and we dont have to have ridiculous systems where maybe 1 planet out of 6 has the new fancy terrain

[indigo falcon]

duly noted, thanks again for the info!

[arctic vale]

I see where what you are talking about could be feasible but at the same time it also sounds like it would be extremely difficult to implement

[smoky meadow]

i would like the game to have a much better multiplayer, and just general bug-fixes

[fringe agate]

@indigo falcon

[indigo falcon]

I was just wondering whether you were goign to finish that up today

[fringe agate]

Lol not bothering unlocking anything with data, so no furniture

Carbon carbon carbon

[indigo falcon]

thinking about what you could use as pretend furniture. there's a quicksilver chair!

could put a fireplace and a terrarium in there too

[fringe agate]

I have those unlocked I believe

I stopped in a trading economy also....

So starsilk

[indigo falcon]

of course posters

might be able to flip the lighted pot upside down for a small table, dunno

[fringe agate]

Lol, going to end up grinding some after all

[indigo falcon]

oh? what are ya picking up, or should I wait and be surprised?

[fringe agate]

Surprise I think

[tranquil citrus]

Who should I dm for proof

[fringe agate]

I'm around

[mental gate]

is it possible to progress the nada and polo main quest in the expedition?

[tranquil citrus]

I sent a image it's just loading

[fringe agate]

No

After it converts you can

Welllll wait

Has anyone tried it after breaking the loop?

In the others, you have to wait for it to convert, so this is likely the same - but I don't have any evidence one way or the other

[mental gate]

ok thanks

i have completed the entire expedition (except the last community goal obvs) and have been to 5 atlas station but still no anomaly, so guess I have to wait

[indigo falcon]

pretty sure it's "wait until the 6 weeks are up", the conversion relates to the loop, not "hey no longer expedition mode"

[fringe agate]

Yeah

[arctic vale]

Does anyone know if you can start Under A Rebel Star in the expedition save or do you have to wait till conversion

[indigo falcon]

you need a settlement, which you can get. but I don't know if the quest will trigger for you or not

[arctic vale]

Dang alright

[distant knot]

How are people getting landing pads in this expedition? Surely they aren't farming 100+ salvaged data? That's crazy lol

[indigo falcon]

I did. got teleporter and solar panel and battery that way, 140 salv data

it's that or a save editor, take your pick (none for me, ps5)

[remote thunder]

why not make a base next to a POI that has landing pad(s)?

[indigo falcon]

base might mark something that doesn't have one (pillar, etc). guess we could ask in this instance

[sly pond]

@indigo falcon it's that or duping or save editor - such a purist that thought didnt occur to you?

[indigo falcon]

sorry, which thought now? (trying to multitask atm so may fail to context switch well) @sly pond

[distant knot]

Yeah I've seen actual bases with player made landing pads so is why I asked. Are they really spending 100 salvaged data to be able to craft them or is there other means of getting them cheaper/free?

[indigo falcon]

oh I see now, the 'duping' addition, no it didn't occur to me at all 😄

so some players may dig up one salv data and then dup it a bunch of times to get the right number. or I guess they dup a small stack, I don't use this so not really sure what would be efficient or how

but save editor would be a lot faster wouldn't it? @sly pond

[distant knot]

Well I didn't know if later in the expedition they gave you the plans for them or something. I aint about to farm 100 of that. No way lol

[indigo falcon]

no there's no base blueprints given to you except:

base computer

[distant knot]

Ah ok thnx

[indigo falcon]

and the phase rewards of flags, posters, the baby calf 😄

[sly pond]

@indigo falcon Not on ps5 it wouldn't :p

[indigo falcon]

yes well I'm on ps5 but I know plenty of players aren't

[sly pond]

Most console players don't save edit.

[indigo falcon]

I wonder what the stats are (% players on each platform)

[gilded tiger]

@indigo falcon you spent 100 salvage data on a landing pad?? You're a legend!

[indigo falcon]

I guess I should say % active players on each platform

[indigo falcon]

no, 140 on teleporter plus proper power

checks self roles

[gilded tiger]

That's crazy

[indigo falcon]

why yes, I do have the "legend" role 😄

um well before uploading for others I really wanted to have that as part of the base. so.

[gilded tiger]

Someone was kind enough to give me 150 salvage data and I was still stingy till the end

"10 to unlock? How about no."

[indigo falcon]

😄

[gilded tiger]

@indigo falcon Im getting tired of ship farming. Any tips? Do you stand at trading post for 30 minutes? I glanced at someone saying to reload after 3-4 waves but I can't be sure

[indigo falcon]

if traffic slows, reload

reloading at the trading post restarts you with a different first wave every time so you can definitely do that more often if you like

what type of ship(s) are you farming?

[gilded tiger]

I'm looking for a fighter. So I've been at about 5 different vykeen pirate systems. I need to fill the solar spot too

[indigo falcon]

are you just not seeing any models you like?

[gilded tiger]

Yeah 😅

[indigo falcon]

colors too ?

I think, or I have heard that colors correlate to the colors of the uniforms the npcs are wearing so you can decide pretty fast if the color palette you want could be there or not

[gilded tiger]

Yes 🥺👉👈

NPC at the trading post?

I'm interested in long nose but I hardly see those land. I know that should be one of that type in every system

[indigo falcon]

mm I was thinking at the tradig station, I don't know if it holds true at trading posts for color

[fringe agate]

What

[indigo falcon]

need more

[fringe agate]

Not how it works

You can find systems where every fighter is a long nose, or none or anything between

[indigo falcon]

models, there's no model that's guaranteed to be in all systems

7 models of fighters, you don't see what you want, move on

[gilded tiger]

Also! All these traveling and warping, I've yet to see a single paradise planet, like planet with that tag. How rare are those?

[indigo falcon]

(write down the names if you need to, to keep track)

[gilded tiger]

Oh really, from the last week I always saw one in each except maybe a couple so I assumed that. My bad

[fringe agate]

When I was doing the hub search, I found 12 in 5 days. It's just up to your luck and proc gen

[terse sage]

I'm a little new to NMS (about 12 hours in). How exactly do rewards in expeditions work? What do I need to do to get the frigate at the end of this expedition

I've just been getting all the milestones

[fringe agate]

Claim all the rewards in your expedition save. The main phase rewards will be redeemable at the QS store in your other saves

[indigo falcon]

welcome! you'll start a fresh save in expedition mode

oh, you've done that already, ok

[gilded tiger]

Any FAQ here on the types? Writing it down sounds like a good idea

[fringe agate]

Pins in #nms-legacy-ships have part infographics

[gilded tiger]

Thanks

[terse sage]

Oh okay. Sorry what's the QS store again?

[indigo falcon]

then as you claim all the milestones for each phase, claim th phae reward too; when you've done all five, you can claim the reward for the full expedition

you need a bunny command for after the bunny icon goes from your name. a sort of permanent reminder

[fringe agate]

Lol

Ok base is as done as I'm going to make it. No more grinding

Fireplace, cause you need that on a burning world

Cake poster ofc

And just cause

Anchor point 4

Love you bb

[sharp shore]

are these even useful anymore after the expedition?

and this

and the flute that you use to summon the leviathan

[gilded tiger]

@fringe agate I only see solar, living, exotic and freighter related stuff in pins at #nms-legacy-ships ☹️

[fringe agate]

You crazy

#nms-legacy-ships message

[indigo falcon]

oh couch AND bed, nice

impressed that you did the teleporter and the landing pad, the teleporter with power took my > 1 hour

tedious

[fringe agate]

Friggin 80 for the solar panel

[indigo falcon]

the frigate fuel, yes

[indigo falcon]

140 for teleporter with powerr, that's where I jsut said "done, stopping now"

[gilded tiger]

Wth! I swear it wasn't there before. I checked twice! Thanks though

[fringe agate]

That landing pad was maddening also- did you see the new one is only 10?

[indigo falcon]

yeah but isn't it locked behind the old one which is 100?

[fringe agate]

100 - 10

Yep

[indigo falcon]

which si why I did NOT get it

[fringe agate]

That's all for me on the base

[indigo falcon]

if I were gonna get something else it woulda been biodome and bips, another 300 + though, noped that

[fringe agate]

Too much digging makes me sad

[indigo falcon]

too much mind-numbing boredom makes me pull my hair out

anyways, gj on the base, heading to 5 now?

[fringe agate]

Aye, I'll wrap this up today I think. Break for now

[gilded tiger]

Will ppl be able to find these bases y'all make with ease? You're making them to help right?

[indigo falcon]

the one I added stuff to was near a couple useful poi, I uploaded it so it would be visible when I'm not online

if a bunch of other people uploaded afer me, mine will be pushed out of the list, hopefully theirs are also useful

[fringe agate]

Mine is for relaxation, there is 0 benefit for others to be had. I didn't upload

[indigo falcon]

you just expanded it as a big FU to anchor point 4, I got it

oh also did you encounter any ||extreme wind event|| or did you get lucky?

[gilded tiger]

Reminds me of 🎵I hurt myself today🎵

Y'all crazy for even going back to anchor 4

[fringe agate]

Didn't leave, did my digging there

Almost died once

[indigo falcon]

my one wasn't there (the uploaded one), I put it someplace mellower for othe rplayers

[fringe agate]

Got silly melee boosting (I have 4 X upgrades for the jetpack)

[gilded tiger]

I think you'll do well under CIA torture

[fringe agate]

They thought so too

[gilded tiger]

That kinda sucks. What's the number before bases start to get replaced?

[indigo falcon]

dunno tbh. I've heard different things and... yep dunno

[fringe agate]

Lmao

[indigo falcon]

well? 😛 😄

[fringe agate]

Friggin bases

[indigo falcon]

go ahead give that definitive answer we don't have

[fringe agate]

It does whatever it feels like at the time

That is my theory

[gilded tiger]

😯

[indigo falcon]

sometime I'll just screenshot all the nitro emojis I need and that will be that

so Gleam you didn't answer if you'd encountered an ||extreme wind event|| there

[fringe agate]

I did

And every time a storm happens at the base, another comes

[indigo falcon]

and you lived to tell the tale. huh! (I got lucky and did not have any)

[fringe agate]

Weeee, I love them

[indigo falcon]

not at the cost of a likely reset I do not

[gilded tiger]

I got flung once, I didn't even know about this. Minotaur jumped to me before I died. We've been best buds ever since

[pure elm]

I have a quick question, are minifiends dangerous? I know I've been able to easily kill them in my normal save but how different are they in exp mode?

[foggy cloak]

The what?

[pure elm]

The little aliens that pop out of horrific nests on derelict freighters

[foggy cloak]

Ah, then no, unless they come in great numbers

[pure elm]

I have a neutron cannon on hand

[foggy cloak]

But that shouldn't happen if you think twice before moving

[indigo falcon]

derelict in system 3 I take it?

[pure elm]

The one with the first loop point

[indigo falcon]

oh, huh. new data, thanks!

[pure elm]

I'm using the visor trick for now

[wraith junco]

If anyone needs extra cash in expedition. For melting ships , upgrades or to buy that sweet S class freighter i builded act. indium farm. The planet also has storm crystals. i recomend using it after you finish the expedition first.

🐐

[wary pasture]

Wow 👏

[pure elm]

Hey uh is there a cap on health maybe? I've got another module that increases my health but I can't tell if it really increased

I got like 8 "+33% Core Health"

[dull phoenix]

🐐

[barren creek]

oh lawd that's a lot of silos

[indigo falcon]

I think the cap is at 9 health

[wraith junco]

960

[frosty pine]

It caps at 9

[wary pasture]

Is there a way to view your current numbers for all that.

Perhaps I'm looking past it

[pure elm]

Health? If so then press H

[wary pasture]

Oo ty

[pure elm]

It'll show your whole HUD including health and shield

[wary pasture]

That's nice I feel I've clicked it before and was unsure so just never revisited lol

How you doing on exp?

[frosty pine]

It's also useful to check when you don't remember if you deactivated sentinels or not 👀

[pure elm]

Doing well but kinda been stalling for a while lol

[wary pasture]

Aww haha
Anything got you hung up or you just taking time?

[pure elm]

I got hung up on getting prepped for if I die

[wary pasture]

I played as slow as I could so I fully understand. 😅

[pure elm]

It probably won't happen but I don't wanna rush in blindly lol

[wary pasture]

Still a goal to meet but it's so ezpz

[arctic vale]

Finished the expedition finally

[wary pasture]

Ayyyee 🎉🎉

[pure elm]

For example, are horrific nests still easy to deal with on the exp with the neutron cannon?

[frosty pine]

You can always do a save file backup if you feel like cheaty 😂

[pure elm]

I got a bunch of shield upgrades etc

[wary pasture]

Um theres another way actually

I didnt get harmed at all collecting eggs.

Folks are building up walls around the eggs. Collecting them isnt allowing the horrors to spawn inside to get you. Worth looking into

[indigo falcon]

the nests might be those on derelicts

[wary pasture]

Oo that slipped my mind Apergos

[pure elm]

They are

Horrific nests are completely separate from whispering eggs

[frosty pine]

Ahh those

[wary pasture]

Oh lordy in that case I wouldnt touch.

[frosty pine]

You just don't do those derelicts 😂

[wary pasture]

The 2 I did just had robot life.

[fathom schooner]

Finished iteration 2 now for anchor 3

Derelicts are system based

[pure elm]

Ngl I've previously found myself easily dealing with the things once I got the neutron cannon

I got upgrades for the cannon here too as well as upgrades to shield and health

Yet I still feel kinda afraid lol

[wary pasture]

Keep it going 🤜

[frosty pine]

Whenever i do one of those, i just don't wake up the aliens 👀

[wary pasture]

Ye that's my thought, assassins creed through that badboi and get gone

[pure elm]

I did the visor trick to clear a derelict but I don't like doing that

I just wanna blast my way through

Kill everything in sight

[wary pasture]

Sheeeeesh

[indigo falcon]

do a derelict like that after you finish phase 5 😄

[fathom schooner]

My god what is up with these attack vector

[arctic vale]

<@&590975379678953522>

[frosty pine]

I did one of those for my expedition milestone 🙈

[pure elm]

Has anyone tried fighting robots and the little aliens on the exp? I wonder if they're any stronger than on a normal save and how much if so

[frosty pine]

And i did milestones in order

[arctic vale]

<@&590975379678953522>

[pure elm]

I have a whole bunch of upgrades I reiterate

[fathom schooner]

I'm just sitting there refineing sodium and I almost get killed by starships

[pure elm]

To shield, health, and neutron cannon

[frosty pine]

You mean sentinels 🤔

[pure elm]

As well as the forcefield

[pure elm]

No I don't, I mean the derelict ones

Lol

Ngl I'm tempted to just... finish setting stuff down and then just giving it a go

[frosty pine]

I've never seen any other thing inside derelicts than sentinels, turrets, horrors, and floating amoebas

[wraith badge]

you also need to ping a mod 😉

[pure elm]

There aren't any sentinels on derelicts tho

At least as far as I've seen

[arctic vale]

Thanks. I'm still learning how to do all this

[wraith badge]

just edit the post and add @moderators which should ping them

[arctic vale]

I think I did that right this time

[wraith badge]

well you'll find out once a mod spots it ... 😉

[arctic vale]

Thanks again for the help

[wraith badge]

no bother

[frosty pine]

No idea if the ping pops when you edit a message tho 👀

[indigo falcon]

it does

[frosty pine]

Ohh cool

Ohh, i'm golden now

[fathom schooner]

Okami your nanite count is sus

[frosty pine]

You can get that in 1h if you farm it

[arctic vale]

I sold unused modules

[frosty pine]

You just need being able to blow up sentinels 😂

[fathom schooner]

Ah

[arctic vale]

Full 48 inventory on general and cargo at 480 nanites per module for hours of grinding

Each load brings almost 50k

[random berry]

Has anyone found a reliable exotic or regular s-class spawn?

[frosty pine]

Like the crashed s class solar ship?

[random berry]

theres a crashed s-class solar?

i need starship inventory modules something bad

[frosty pine]

Ohh for that you can farm the 1st wave orange squid

[random berry]

and where is that

[random berry]

awesome

i came across an a-class solar that I really like, its become my main ship now

but I used all my inventory expansions from the expedition on the first ship because i didn't find this until later

[wary pasture]

Aww ye my sad behind upped the starter ship to max that I could so far anyhow.

I may go look for that squid as well, space station hunt?

[frosty pine]

Yea, when you talk about 1st wave ships it's always at space station

[wary pasture]

Okok mentally noted. Still a bit new to the hunting of starships.

[random berry]

If you need to find a portal, the anchor points for the expedition were all portals.

the names of the stations for those planets are in the pins

[wary pasture]

Thanks? Lol

I've made it through the expedition. Just touching up some things now

If you need any help lmk. 😅

[sullen quarry]

im bout to activate this big transmitter

great now im missing sodium

and theres none on this planet

oh christ

Things that this game make you do... 🤣

[sullen quarry]

closest thing to earth ive found. lol

[random berry]

Ugh. Didn't bring any metals with me for the portal

Gotta go mine some copper now

[random berry]

whats the expected spawn rate on that?

[frosty pine]

100% every reload

That's why they call those 1st wave ships

Because they come in the 1st wave of ships that arrive to a station

[random berry]

hmmm

ive only had it show up once so far

[frosty pine]

Euclid

[frosty pine]

No idea what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bought like 30 of those

Let me load the game real quick to show you

[wary pasture]

I'd like to see an image of the guppy you speak of.

[median ember]

How am i supposed to finish the expedition game crashing on start 😡

[wary pasture]

Omw lol

Lemme go back for those glyphs

The short tentacle one too that's nice.

[wary pasture]

Tysm

[median ember]

I scrapped like 7 of those 🤣

[wary pasture]

Likely being my new main save gotta have an exotic

Oh f. What's the cost

I'm at like 3m units. Gotta get that up

[frosty pine]

Tbh i only would like to get a royal one

[wary pasture]

Thatd be neat. White and gold?

[frosty pine]

Can be anything up to 20m

[wary pasture]

I want a mosquito but without the nose. Just the fold down wings on the orb

[frosty pine]

This one i checked right now is 5m

[supple radish]

I have an orange squid like that in my permadeath save. Used it to get through the Calypso galaxy. (I use a different ship in each galaxy just to keep it interesting).

[frosty pine]

So you may want to come here later

[wary pasture]

Ye ima go make some cash rq if I can manage 😅

[frosty pine]

Farm the derelict in this system

Just pick up everything

[wary pasture]

It safe-ish?

[frosty pine]

Only floating amoebas

[wary pasture]

Cool

[frosty pine]

And insane amount of crates

[wary pasture]

Tysm seriously for all the help.

[frosty pine]

Yw

[wary pasture]

It's got all the bells and whistles 😅

May farm it down the road for materials at the very least. Sadly just not my style

Heck ye

That's I wanna say soo close to what I've been searching for on my normal save

That's mean looking. Nice1

You know the system you got the exotic in?

The white one

Noicee

Eh the top fin. I'm sooooo picky 😅

I may grab it idk I'll lyk in pic form if I do.

[wary pasture]

<@&590975379678953522>

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[dull phoenix]

btw even if i make a new save i can claim it there too right like how it says for all saves

its like recorded to my steam acc or smth

[indigo falcon]

yes, all saves, one time each

new, old, whatever

[dull phoenix]

nice

[indigo falcon]

as long as it's the same account, you're good

[wary pasture]

Goodness what a journey. Cant say I didnt enjoy it, and to be honest I feel this has aged me as a traveler.

[indigo falcon]

glad you had a good time 🙂

[wary pasture]

Now ill do as others have and try to leave behind something helpful for those still passing through.

[zealous summit]

any reason why it keeps saying the lobby is full when there are only 2/4 people in the lobby

[wary pasture]

Perhaps best asked in #nms-questions
Sadly I am unsure

[zealous summit]

alright thx

[indigo falcon]

lobby full for where it tried to put you maybe

so you get bounced to the next one?

[wary pasture]

So we are in euclid ye? I'm quite curious do the glyphs transfer modes? Can I jump to portal locations with certain items ik about from normal mode?

Or is it different and specific to each mode you reckon

[indigo falcon]

we are indeed in euclid

multitools in cabinets should be there, ships should be there, assuming they are from a recent update

[wary pasture]

Ok ok all good to hear. I may go poking around in a few dif systems than 🤓

[indigo falcon]

enjoy the sights, traveller!

[slender harness]

I saw a ship like that. Unfortunately, I had the weird bug where the pilot despawns when you're talking to them, so it vanished 😔

[sly pond]

I've never actually seen conclusive evidence that a ship seed has been removed/swapped from any star system - they've just been repurposed for new types of ships when they were released.

@slender harnessThat was a pirate ship that landed during a raid, the weird bug is that those land and can be purchased in the first place, lol.

[slender harness]

Huh. I just thought it was just a deliberate spawning block to stop people trading in their ships ahead of time lol

I wasn't aware that pirate ships were unique, though

[spice parrot]

I've never played a more frustrating expedition than this. Dying to bugs when you're almost done twice gives such a sour taste

[coarse garnet]

When is the current expedition ending ?

2 weeks I think

[indigo falcon]

almost 3 weeks, time enough to get it done

[shy narwhal]

what's that website?

[granite axle]

did you just randomly drop dead in your mech suit too?

[spice parrot]

First time I was getting into the system of the last anchorpoint when a frigage warped and spawned inside of my ship. I was stuck and died. Second time I was killed by agressive creature that was glitching under the ground

[shy narwhal]

That one is somewhere on the expedition path. Can't remember which system exactly

[indigo falcon]

ugh that really sucks. hope you escape the bugs this time around, and if you have time/energy please consider reporting to hg

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[spice parrot]

These bugs have been reported before. Sadly. I just think permadeath is a bad idea for an expedition if your game is as buggy as this and death happens without the players being able to do anything about it or to prevent it

[granite axle]

Can you go to the expedition worlds in normal mode and help people there? or are people on different difficulties kept seperate?

[fringe agate]

Cant mix modes

[granite axle]

ah

[indigo falcon]

reporting them again lets hg know they are still a game-breaking problem for players

otherwise it's easy for someone to say "well we have no reports with the latest patch, let's just close that ticket"

[wary pasture]

Very true, I cant help but be a reassuring voice that says; there is nothing to fix or even acknowledge without first communication of an issue.

This is how we recently got past collection of end rewards. They had to patch it for us.

[sly bear]

If you do an expedition will you be able to get the reward on another world?

[indigo falcon]

what do you mean?

[quaint turret]

yes you can get the rewards on all your saves

[ashen turret]

the phase and overall completion rewards

[quaint turret]

if that's waht u mean

[ashen turret]

not the individual milestone rewards

[sly bear]

How long do they take?

[ashen turret]

what do you mean

you just claim at quicksilver vendor

[quaint turret]

if u mean completition time that differs from person to person i guess

it's the journey not the destination tho👍

[indigo falcon]

nah it's totally the destination 😄

[granite axle]

Can you start a fresh epedition with your friends? im thinking about introducing a friend to the game and feel like the Expedition would be a better starting point

[foggy cloak]

Sure, but exp aren't recommended Multiplayer

Because 🐛

[granite axle]

Oh

[fathom schooner]

Shite, almost died from hidden cliff

[fathom schooner]

Finally found a outlaw system

[wary pasture]

No clue why but I cant re find a portal

Sitting literally at the coords for the one at A5 and I dont see anything lol

[fathom schooner]

Your online?

Did you find it offline or online?

[wary pasture]

No like the portals they had us find

Anchor point portals

I cant find one

It's actually becoming an annoyance

Anyone any help with this?

Unless my ship is just inaccurate and is lying to me. 😅

[brave rain]

Just arrived in anchor world 4s system, wish me luck!

[fathom schooner]

You use the scanner to find the achor point?

[wary pasture]

I was just told about using exo to do that a few ago actually lol.
Ima try it

Was easy when we had to reach the anchor and pmuch had a waypoint on the scanner.

[alpine topaz]

What do u guys do after the expedition?

And after submitting stuff to polo

[wary pasture]

I'm continuing to play as if it's my main save. It may become that.
I did play normal mode before*

[silver vessel]

Anyone know of an outlaw system a long the route?

[dense basin]

There are 3 very near to the start. Diplo Where? is a bit to the right, Scheherazade is up a bit, and Toympiae III is along the route if you have baseline hyperdrive.

[silver vessel]

Damn, im at anchor 4

[dense basin]

Just teleport back to Rowland-Desk

When you're done, call the anomaly and teleport back to Chistor-Olev

[lavish yarrow]

sorry, is it possible to damage to corrupted sentinels? Currently in the loop collapse event

[dense basin]

Yes, they're easier to kill than normal sentinels

[lavish yarrow]

strange. I'm not doing any damage

I will just run away then 🙂

[dense basin]

Dig a tunnel, drop your save point and reload

I usually ignore them and fly away though 😄

[silver vessel]

While at rowland desk, where do I buy the outlawed goods?

[dense basin]

You don't - that's the start system that the pirate stations are near. BUT there are a LOT of bases on the starting planet that have nip nip, and if you harvest that and sell it, it'll count

Starting planet was Christole Oich, in case you don't remember offhand

[silver vessel]

Good o l café 42

[gilded tiger]

I think this concept was a great way of helping folks who didn't like / couldn't play much of expedition. Playing later on gives them a good leg up.

[alpine topaz]

True. I wouldn't have tried survival or especially permadeath if it wasn't for this expedition

[alpine topaz]

Yeah I've now gone back to normal haha.

[silver vessel]

Now I need easy nanites

[alpine topaz]

I don't know how else to get easy nanites other than. Sell scrapped ships and get the modules

Or go to a planet and scan all the animals

Which means buying A class explorers for like 1.5mill, or any cheap S for around 4mill

[dense basin]

Just sell memory packages you don't need

You'll also get a pile of tainted metal after doing a particular milestone in iteration 5, which you can refine for exactly enough nanites to hit the nanite milestone.

If you have enough units to buy ships, you can scrap ships and sell their modules for nanites

[calm flax]

I'm getting most of my nanites by scanning all the creatures on the planets. Just make sure to claim them when you scan the last one. Also turn everyting in at the anomaly.

[random berry]

Oh right. I have a bunch of tainted metal

I should refine that

[calm flax]

Also check the transporters for mold farms. I transportecd between 2 I found in the transporter and got the 50k I needed to upgrade from A class to S class.

[random berry]

im only like 5k nanites from either S class ship or S class multitool

[dense basin]

nice

[silver vessel]

What am I looking for one the derilct design for. Already got the logs

[urban scroll]

how do i get the leviathan role? i cant remember anymore...

ie what do i have to show?

[summer oyster]

!leviathanrole

[unkempt kraken]

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

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

[urban scroll]

ahh

thx

<@&590975379678953522>

[random berry]

anyone have a good sentinel/nanite farm?

[silver vessel]

How do I convert tainted metal to nanites

[summer oyster]

Refine it.

[silver vessel]

Yep, all good

[calm flax]

Check the transporter. I checked the transporter in the space station and found a bunch of them.

[random berry]

Ah. Right

now that I have my scatter blaster + upgrades should be a lot easier to farm them

[frosty pine]

You shoot a sentinel, more sentinels come, you blow up those sentinels, you open and sell the technology

[random berry]

well yeah

[calm flax]

Also I kept an eye out for bases on planets and went to comm balls to check them out. Found a bunch of good things that way.

[frosty pine]

About 100k nanites per 15-20 mins

[random berry]

but people have bases set up to funnel them in

I was looking for one of these bases

[frosty pine]

You don't need bases

Just shoot them to death and pick up barrels when your shield gets low

You leave summoners alive to farm sentinels

It's permanent lvl 1 wave

[random berry]

yeah, its just nice with the bases because all the barrels will collect in one spot

[calm flax]

I need to figure out which ones are the summoners.

[random berry]

the triangle shaped ones

smaller than the regular sentinels, bigger than the healers

[calm flax]

triangle shaped. Thanks

[median ember]

They simply get in my base...making themselves comfortable....and invading my privacy at any given time including my time of answering nature calls

😑

[random berry]

literally 1984

[calm flax]

I killed them the last time I was at a sentinel pillar.

I was trying something. I'd shoot the mech to get the threat level raised then I'd shut them down.

[frosty pine]

If have shield upgrades you can just stay still and fire while they aproach around you

All the barrels will stay at pickup distance

[median ember]

More levels means more of those 🍕 ones and healing ones

[calm flax]

I just moved to the side a little and shot around the shields

[frosty pine]

You can use cloak device for 1/4 second between each attack sentinel and they will never spawn shields

[calm flax]

I don't do very many sentinel battles.

[median ember]

I just shoot them not coz i want parts...i shoot them because they hug me a too much. 😑

[random berry]

Fastest nanite farming for sure

[calm flax]

I've also never used the cloak device. I installed it for the first time in my latest expedition save

[frosty pine]

It resets attack timing for sentinels

[calm flax]

I don't care too much for fighting sentinels. It's pretty much a never ending battle unless you just leave to lower the threat level.

[random berry]

Going to farm some more ship inventory modules first

[calm flax]

Now that the sentinel ships attack me when I get back in my ship it's hard for me to go to planets with extreme sentinels.

Before I just ignored the sentinels shooting at me. I did what I needed to do and hopped in the ship and left. Not now.

I've got an expedition to get back to myself.

[sharp shore]

i remember seeing a sentinel farm at one of those anchor planets

someone just built beside a factory that has sentinel spawns

they also built a nipnip and gravitino farm attached to it

[dense basin]

I mean, it does end eventually after the 5 waves are over. I just knock out the healers, then the summoners. I do find it irritating that you can't just jump in your ship and outrun the ground robos anymore - they call their spaceship friends instead.

They're also dumb as posts and won't attack you inside buildings, even though they'll follow you in

[wary pasture]

I still goof up and hop in my ship thinking the flying sentinels wont come. 🤦‍♂️

[primal rock]

Woot! I finished the expedition. Third times a charm.

[frosty pine]

You can just pop anomaly or freighter tho

[dense basin]

Yes, I know

It's just irritating that I have to leave the planet when I didn't have to before

[frosty pine]

I just blow up the ships too 👀

And when i want to stay on the planet and lose the sentinels i just use the cloak device

[dense basin]

The cloak doesn't last the entire time of their search. And they don't all leave the area. I know there are ways to ditch them - I'm just saying that it's less efficient than it was prior to the outlaws update.

[frosty pine]

you can easily make it last 30+ seconds 🤷🏻‍♂️

[dense basin]

do tell

[frosty pine]

You just spam it 👀

Instead of holding it

Sentinels lose sight of you as soon as you push it, but they take half a second to see you again

Or...

You can dig and fill the entrance

[dense basin]

Yes, I know

Like I said, I find it irritating that you can't just jump in your ship and outrun the ground robos anymore. I am fully aware there are other ways to deal with them. 🙂 We can leave it at that.

I will keep the cloak thing in mind, though

[dense basin]

Ye, I believed you

[frosty pine]

I know. I just wanted to show it in action 👀

And this is what i was telling before about farming the sentinels with cloak and not moving

[wary pasture]

Atlas would shudder

Is there a way you can clip this in action? I'm beyond interested in learning.

[frosty pine]

Maybe

[wary pasture]

Oh it's up there

Or is it

[frosty pine]

Not the sentinel farming

Just spamming it to get rid of them

Let me get rid of this inventory full of crystal and i will try to make a clip 😂

[wary pasture]

Ok ye it's kinda playing odd for me idk lol

Ok sick im bout to hit the hay. But I'll def be siked to see.

[frosty pine]

https://imgur.com/2vEpxIQ

I needed to crop it because i wasn't able to upload to imgur 😂

But the thing is that they don't fire at you by doing that

[wary pasture]

Hmm that's very interesting. You just kinda pulse the invisibility?

[frosty pine]

Yep

You can see on the top right the message about them losing sight

[wary pasture]

I see you arent holding it long. And the escape when you're done?

[frosty pine]

The easiest way is having a pillar next to you

Like me

You just get into the house

[wary pasture]

Ahh just shut em down and take time collecting. Very smart

[frosty pine]

Yep

[wary pasture]

Ok I'll try this tomorrow that's soo smart.

[frosty pine]

You can also just look right to the sentinel while shooting it and hold E

So when the barrel drops you are already looting it

[wary pasture]

Lmao ok I'll try that too

[frosty pine]

You need to release E before starting to shoot again to another sentinel tho

But once you get the timing to it you just do: E>shoot>pulse cloak while still looting the barrel>release E>repeat

Basically you loot the barrel mid air

And if you are using a weapon using ammo, you likely will never run out

But if you already have all your shield upgrades you can ignore the cloaking thing

But without cloaking sentinels roam around farther

[wary pasture]

I am pretty beefy by this pt ngl. Guess it's just a try either way thing. Try with and without eh

That way ik how when say the next perma instance comes up and I am shield less.

[frosty pine]

The cloaking makes them come next to you to "find" you

[wary pasture]

Oo 'searching'

[frosty pine]

Yep

[wary pasture]

It all just became that much more clear

[frosty pine]

Just remember that this only work with floating sentinels

All the other will still shoot you with lasers, mortars and all the other stuff

[wary pasture]

That's ok the bigbois still make me run in terror

bad minotaur, down boi

[random berry]

Alright. Silver extractors set up now.

[wary pasture]

Noicee

Build every hallway possible on that freighter

[frosty pine]

I usually just buy Dirty Bronze 🙈

[wary pasture]

Shoot asteroids 🤭

[frosty pine]

You can stack more than with raw silver

[random berry]

Asteroids are slow

[frosty pine]

1 cargo stack of silver = 1k silver, 1 cargo stack of dirty bronze = 2.5k silver 👀

So i just convert it to silver on demand

[wary pasture]

Mental notes being taken. Tyty

[random berry]

I'd rather not have to worry about getting that

[frosty pine]

Just buy it

[random berry]

Easier to just hit my base and grab the silver

[wary pasture]

I fr buy soo much at stations. My galactic-wallet is my best resource ngl

Just anything to this is expanding far beyond silver.

[frosty pine]

Ohh wait

1 freighter cargo slot actually holds double amount of dirty bronze

so 1 stack = 5k silver

[indigo falcon]

what are you all using the silver for?

[frosty pine]

Memory fragments

[random berry]

^

Silver + pugneum + wiring harnesses

[frosty pine]

50 per fragment

[indigo falcon]

ah gotcha. I buy pugneum and silver at a couple of the space stations, so that's not an issue, I guess if you are trying to build 30-40 at once you want other methods, I usually only want 5 at a time (wll, "wanted", as I've gone back to main save now)

[random berry]

Yeah. It's more of just a convenience thing.

And it's always fun setting up a mineral mine

[frosty pine]

I think i got the extractor thing but never put one down 🤔

[frosty pine]

🙈

Yea, we crafting them in big amounts

[indigo falcon]

going for bulk orders I see 😄

[frosty pine]

I still didn't get my neutron prepack tho

[random berry]

upgrade multi-tool to S or S class ship?

[indigo falcon]

you can buy a nice S class ship for units

if you really like the mt you have then spend the nanites there I guess

[alpine topaz]

lmao thats funny as. so the cloak is useful

[median ember]

I am animal hunted....in expedition 😭

Every animal see me...wants to kill me...

[indigo falcon]

you must be on the starter planet?

[sharp shore]

definitely the starter planet

think this was done on purpose to make it easier to do the Atonement quest

[indigo falcon]

well it is convenient

[calm flax]

When I start this expedition save the first thing I do after the first required thing is to repair the terrain manipulator asap then dig a hole. I have a habit of spawning in with a storm going on. Sometimes I tunnel all the way to the ship.

[sharp shore]

first required thing is to die asap 🙂

[devout stream]

Were you meant to complete first, second, third and fourth universal loop milestones all at once after talking to Polo for the first time? Is it a bug?

[sharp shore]

yes, those are intended

[indigo falcon]

no it's not a bug

[sharp shore]

they are community milestones

currently we are at milestone 5, so all new expedition saves start with S rank ships and multitool, memory fragments upgraded to X Rank, as well as immediately unlock the universal loops 1 to 4 after speaking to polo

[devout stream]

Ohh ok so what has to be done to unlock them?

[sharp shore]

nothing, just speak to polo

the milestones are achieved by turning in specific items to polo, this is a community effort.

[indigo falcon]

also btw there are some pins in this channel about expeditions in general and this one in specific, lots of good info in there, have a look

[devout stream]

Oh cool thanks so much

[terse jolt]

im having trouble finding storm crystals in the storm, is there a specific element that i have to mine?

[indigo falcon]

no

you need to be on a planet that has extreme storms and storm crystals as well

they will be visible for some distance and have an icon visible in the HUD when the storm ia really going

see the pins "mini-faq" for location of such a planet in the expd route

[terse jolt]

noted tysm!

[unkempt kraken]

No Man's Sky - Exploration - Finding Storm Crystals

Storm Crystals require an extreme weather planet, which often have Activated Copper/Cadmium/Emeril/Indium in their resource list.
They can only be collected when they are activated during an extreme storm, and can be easily seen from a distance.

📖 Did you know? Rarely, you may find extreme weather planets that do not spawn storm crystals.

@terse jolt ^

[indigo falcon]

don't have the custom command, just an image, heh

probably a lot of duplicate work around with everyone having either their own custom commands or their own folders of images etc

[fringe agate]

We share commands and have an image repository

[indigo falcon]

those with commands. the rest of us just have images on our laptops tho

[fringe agate]

for now

[indigo falcon]

you keep your bunny paws off my laptop images!! they stayin' there

[fringe agate]

Lol

Not the way I meant it

[terse jolt]

got it ty!

[remote thunder]

you should see our "-help" folders

i even have folders renamed to "old-*", where old stuff goes into, often temporarily until i finally let go of them

[indigo falcon]

oh old is the beginning of the slippery slope

then there's older, oldest, really-oldest, ancient, obsolete, ....

[fringe agate]

I only have 101 personal commands

[indigo falcon]

one of those lists all the rest, right?

[fringe agate]

Nah, that's inherent in Gunter

[indigo falcon]

oh nice

Guntie has all kinds of tricks up his... sleeve...wing...whatever

[fringe agate]

Aye, Doc is a mad genius

[indigo falcon]

what language is the bot in, anyways?

[fringe agate]

English

[indigo falcon]

replied to that out of the channel. 😛

[fringe agate]

Lol

[obtuse mirage]

Imagine not having 0

[indigo falcon]

having 0 is th best, don't have to remember them all

[sly pond]

I may not have a bot, but a bot doesnt have access to the resources I've developed., lol.

[fringe agate]

Oh?

!exosuitlayout

[unkempt kraken]

Best layout for Exosuit synergy

[analog onyx]

hey, can someone help me with expedition, im stuck (dm me)

[indigo falcon]

I don't have it via bot but of course I have it in my explanations directory

[indigo falcon]

do you need in game help or 'how do I get out of this' help?

[analog onyx]

nvm

i found anchor 4

[wary pasture]

Keep it up traveler

[primal rock]

I made a base and uploaded it. It's called anchor 4 sentinel tower, or something like that. So you can turn off sentinels on the anchor 4 planet.

[wary pasture]

Nice, others can even use this tower to complete that 20 sentinel kills.

[primal rock]

I finished the expedition last night. Now to just exploring. :)

[indigo falcon]

awesome! you can get the role for completion in this server if you want. see the pins for how!

[ashen shore]

What does uploading bases do? I haven't messed with it yet

[indigo falcon]

it makes the base visible to other players even when you are offline (in the form that was uploaded, new pieces you add later won't be visible)

the most recent uploaded base on a planet is the one players will see, if you uploaded more than one

[ashen shore]

Oh okay, I didn't know this. Thank you 🤘♥️

[fringe agate]

Lol! I just noticed the portal is in the pic

This was when I was looking for it visually

Didnt see it then

Lol

[indigo falcon]

😄

[pure elm]

Popping in again to see what else to do

I'm gonna set up a salt farm and a star bulb farm before I see if I feel ready for the next stage

[indigo falcon]

what's the next stage you got coming up?

[pure elm]

Anchor 4

[indigo falcon]

ah

everybody's fave

[pure elm]

Just gonna wrap up and make sure I got all I need all neatly set up etc

[indigo falcon]

okey dokey!

[pure elm]

Also it seems my refiner is malfunctioning yet again lol

Tried to make some star bulbs but when I leave the inv it just goes back to the oxygen, silver and paraffinium

[indigo falcon]

that is weird af

well you know the temporary cure, pick up and put down

[pure elm]

Yep that's already done

[silver vessel]

Just completed the expedition. This was a really fun one. Loved the end and the story to it

[indigo falcon]

congrats! and hey, get the role for the server! see the pins on how to do it.

[sly pond]

@fringe agate Okay smartie pants, ask your bot how many regions does the core void contain. :P

[fringe agate]

I'll ask you and then add it to the bot 😛

[silver vessel]

I don't even see a leviathan role in the expedition role list

[fringe agate]

!leviathanrole

[unkempt kraken]

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

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

[silver vessel]

Oh, well I don't care about it that much lol

[true bronze]

ugh, finally finished exp 7....that was arduous

[silver vessel]

Not as bad as the first expedition

That damn golden ship was well earned

[indigo falcon]

but you got it done, and that's what counts!

[true bronze]

Had a minor delay on account of my 2nd kid coming 2 weeks early heh

[indigo falcon]

congrats!!

[silver vessel]

I missed the expeditions where you got the worm and the sentinal companion. Not a fan of the companion ones

[true bronze]

I missed the worm and the one before the worm...can't recall what it was

hah

[indigo falcon]

emergence

[hushed oyster]

Uhhhhhh

[indigo falcon]

and uh cartographers

[stoic bluff]

Why did you ping mods

[silver vessel]

I started the worm one and gave up. Reward wasn't worth it to me

[true bronze]

I was going to put a screenshot of my exp 7 completion, but then forgot I had put the @ in my message and responded to another message

or, in short, ADHD

[indigo falcon]

welp post it now

[stoic bluff]

Ok lol

Yep

[silver vessel]

I really want to see another expedition with a unique ship for a prize. Maybe a platinum ship or something

Or a living capital ship

[main ginkgo]

how much longer do we have for the expedition

i forget the command

[fringe agate]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

[wary pasture]

Quite a while to go.

[main ginkgo]

okay sounds good. im at the first milestone and i've been delaying completion lol

[wary pasture]

That's quite alright theres a fair share of us that did the same I'm sure.. I was a procrastinator myself. Haha

[indigo falcon]

have you done iterate/repeat in phase 1?

[main ginkgo]

i have lol

[indigo falcon]

good just checking. safe journeys then!

[main ginkgo]

that was one of the first ones i did

much thanks!

[analog onyx]

<@&590975379678953522> <@&257147404178948096>
I HAVE DONE IT

[indigo falcon]

um only moderators, not admins (read the pin more slowly :-D)

[true bronze]

ugh, every damn time I start the game I now have to verify the game files or it crashes

[analog onyx]

woops

[hushed oyster]

That moderator ping pings admins too

[analog onyx]

have i done it?

[true bronze]

<@&590975379678953522> gimme my completion role 🙂

please

[analog onyx]

congrats

[true bronze]

thank you kindly

[indigo falcon]

love to see it!

[analog onyx]

waiting for my completion role, and i will be dead for 7-10 hrs (slep)

[pure elm]

Got the refiner bug again

This time I got a tell tale sign of it when I opened the refiner and heard the "start refining" sound

[indigo falcon]

I hate to tell you this but your refiners are haunted

[wary pasture]

Ye may wanna call a young priest and an old priest.

[pure elm]

Okay so there's another issue I've been facing

Sometimes, when I teleport to a base, I spawn in a spot that's not at the teleporter - or even at the base computer for that matter

It just... kinda puts me outside of the base

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

[indigo falcon]

sheesh three tries to get the right reaction in the right place

if it bugs you because the weather is bad you could try building out the base a little to have a room there 😄

I really don't know what causes that or how to fix it

[astral storm]

Meanwhile I'm trying to get a S Freighter on my expedition save, and ngl, RNGeezus isn't too keen on my trying to build up that character. Kinda 100 tries later and still no S.

[wary pasture]

Sadly this is a grind that can take some serious time, I've heard of others going forever for a S class freighter.

[astral storm]

Sure is. My first serious save, a survival one from way before expeditions were a thing got it with some grinding, but it was endurable... but this one? Geez. Technically speaking I have an S freighter, just not capital.

[wary pasture]

I wanna say I see this ona regular. When going to my fave most used base it pops me out by storage and my landing pad, with teleporter and base comp being clear on the other side of my facility.

[indigo falcon]

it's fine not for it to be capital

if it's S it can be expanded to the same max slots

[wary pasture]

In my opinion capital makes no grand difference.

[indigo falcon]

stats will be as good too

just takes longer because of lower initial slot count

[pure elm]

Okay I think I'll probs get ready for anchor 2 now

[wary pasture]

With added storage units slots just arent something to lose tears for.

[astral storm]

Wait. Can it though? The wiki is pretty explicit that it can't.

[wraith junco]

i heard that outlaw systems had highest % of S class spawn

[indigo falcon]

the wiki is out of date on this one

the wiki is very helpful and has a lot of good info, just missing the update on this bit here though

[astral storm]

I see... I had noticed a few other minor details that were off, but nothing as game-changing as this.

[wary pasture]

True but this commonly refers to starships iirc. I imagine freighter hunting ina pirate system would be a very long headache.

[indigo falcon]

highest class S starship spawn, pretty sure that doesn't apply to freighters

[wary pasture]

Making sure it's your 5th jump and so forth, sheesh that headache.

[indigo falcon]

so yeah if it's an expedition save, every 3 warps = rescue a freighter, collect reward, often a cargo bulkhead in there

[astral storm]

Yeah, that's given me a pretty good chunk of bulkheads already actually

[wary pasture]

I've been lucky enough to help out a few freighters and very awarded yes.

[wraith junco]

and make sure its 3 * system

[indigo falcon]

sotck up on hyperdrive upgrades for efficiency, sodium/shields if you need 'em and some warp cells and start raking 'em in

[astral storm]

Well, I've set my sights on a beautiful venator, perfect system and easily reachable. Although if I can upgrade a small freighter to the exact same stats...

[indigo falcon]

you can

but I understand the dream

the venator is a sweet look

[astral storm]

Yeah. Question is if I want to. A small freighter does have its upsides too, it's way more convenient to summon

[wary pasture]

Team Dreadnaught

[pure elm]

I wonder if there's a freighter that looks like the uss enterprise

[indigo falcon]

if only

there's mods for that!!

[pure elm]

Nice

[wary pasture]

Was ecstatic to see that was my exp7 freighter.

[indigo falcon]

I have some venator thing C of course, which is fine
