wonder how the game knew 😄
#nms-expedition
indigo falcon
wary pasture
Oh you even got your fave how cool
astral storm
Also with a ship that has a hyperdrive range of 2650ly, suffice to say I do not need a lot of cells. I'd probably need like what... 10 hypercores to get from the edge of a galaxy to the center?
wary pasture
Same c and no drive but it's a big storage unit to me anyway.
indigo falcon
exactly, it served its purpose well
astral storm
What exactly happens to saves at the end of the expedition anyway? Converted to standard survival? Is the memory fragment blueprint gonna stay or not?
wary pasture
Good questions.
indigo falcon
all the previous ones, at the end of the 6 weeks, when you loaded into them again, would prompt you to accept conversion to normal mode
this will do the same except survival mode
I suppose you'll have the blueprint; whether it will build anything at all or anything useful remains to be seen
maybe a bunch of C crap 😄
astral storm
Well, by that time I reckon I would hardly need it anyway
indigo falcon
exactly
wary pasture
Lmaoo ye I'd spend this last bit of time grinding out what you may think you'll need.
astral storm
Strangely enough too the starting ship is now already so ridiculously good it's hard to even think of using a different one
wary pasture
I'm actually gearing my mind for some sentinel massacres ina bit.
Omg I've felt the same, like I want a dif ship but I cant even dream of redoing all the build that I have on the starter.
astral storm
I did grind sentinel freighters for a while. I still do not understand how I made one of them explode.
And the starter is S class anyway
wary pasture
Wait huh
Who's starter? I got c's 😅
Or you've done the classing upgrades is what you mean.
wary pasture
It was that anchor wasnt it the wind storms?
That's insane idk how you got the s class than. 😂
pure elm
From what I've heard yes
indigo falcon
may the prng divinities smile upon you and remove all obstacles from your path
pure elm
Everyone starts with an s class ship now
wary pasture
Ok I only wanted to be a voice of warning Eggy. Best of luck
astral storm
Yeah I was about to say. I thought everyone started with an S ship
wary pasture
And oo well I've been robbed where do I exchange this thing? Lmao
smoky meadow
the class ship you start with is based on the community milestone
smoky meadow
yeah thats normal it you started early
if you make a new save now it will be S class
wary pasture
Allg
Ye no thanks XD
I'm trying to make up my mind. I'm considering grinding out a living ship.
astral storm
Eh... damn. So having been just a little apparently worked in my favor then, eh. I didn't think it affected the ship, thought it was just the modules from the fragments
indigo falcon
if you die or start a new save now you get S gear and X upgrades
astral storm
Also turns out I already had so many bulkheads I barely need 4 more for the general section of the freighter... And then some for tech.
indigo falcon
sounds great!
pure elm
Well this is convenient
astral storm
ngl, it's not worth then to grind for a capital freighter at all. Why bother just to pay money and end up with a clunkier ship...?
indigo falcon
some people really like the look of the capital
wary pasture
Plus, capitals are a bit overplayed. Everyone has one and 9/10 pics of freighters online are capitals.
There are soo many others to be had. Many different looks too.
wraith junco
sean pls gib us more capital freighters
astral storm
Don't get me wrong, I do like the capital look too. But the small freighter I got doesn't look shabby either. And trying to scrap ships from a small freighter is quite a bit faster since you can summon it in so much closer
pure elm
Okay so I just disabled the sentinels, but apparently there still are sentinels
astral storm
Yeah, I guess I'll stick with the small one. Just gonna grind some more bulkheads and that'll be that
pure elm
Or nvm those are the sentinels that appeared when I destroyed the nodes
indigo falcon
Or nvm those are the sentinels that appeared when I destroyed the nodes
uh. did you in fact shut the sentinels down?
at the terminal?
because if so, there should only be barrels now where there were sentinels
astral storm
Yeah. Which makes farming salvage scrap even better since the moment you get the artifact, the corrupted sentinels spawn and immediately go poof, giving you free sentinel barrels lol
indigo falcon
😄 😄
if you find any resource silos there wil lbe barrels there too
remnants of their little corpses scattered around the planet
astral storm
Yeah. Actually you can see them explode after spawn if you approach it fast enough
wraith venture
not Barky though
hushed oyster
Yeah
indigo falcon
it just makes me so cheerful thinking of their little corpses
wraith venture
and this is correct. ty for helping clarify, Apergos 
pure elm
uh. did you in fact shut the sentinels down?
I have, I was just confused because I still saw some sentinels flying around, until I noticed they were the ones you'd get while fighting them
And as I had destroyed the nodes I deduced that they were spawned from that
Also I got the first part of anchor 4 done
indigo falcon
yay!
pure elm
Gonna do the loop hotspot now, hoping for the best
indigo falcon
dooooo iiiiiit
pure elm
I will don't worry :)
Also can I take the grav balls without consequence with the sentinels off?
indigo falcon
grav balls ain't all that anyways, for money. nips are better 😛
pure elm
Yeah ik, just wanted to grab them lol
indigo falcon
grabbing the sentinels' balls just because you can.... mmmmmm
pure elm
As Mario from Hotel Mario once said
That wasn't so hard was it
I honestly expected that I would have to be super careful but I guess not lol
At least not with my 2 heat shields and the sentinel pillar base
indigo falcon
well there were other surprises that could have popped up
you're gone from there now yes?
pure elm
Not yet
indigo falcon
enwell why the eff not? 😄
pure elm
Setting up a base
pure elm
Worry not! I was simply trying to set up a safe space just in case I die later
indigo falcon
yep yep makes perfect sense
wary pasture
Goodness I jumped on the same level of urgency when you said headed to anchor4. 😅
Like ye land do what you gotta with extreme caution, and gtfo.
indigo falcon
gotta put a base though
wary pasture
Yes that is a great thought truly. Though I was lazy and just slapped base comps. I should go back and make bases worth showing to others.
indigo falcon
they don't have to be, they just need to protect you from the elements
pure elm
I typically don't even bother with aesthetics. All I care about is that they work
indigo falcon
but if there's a base nere useful poi and you want to upload it for that reason, then sure
pure elm
That being said: now that I have cleared anchor 4, I want to do the whispering eggs
wary pasture
You got this
indigo falcon
can I reocmmend
that you do phase 5 first?
heck I am recommending it 😄
you did the memory loop on 4 right?
wary pasture
Truly not a bad thought than. Go through iteration 5 and return.
indigo falcon
yep. nothing wrong with good luck.
pure elm
Or maybe the wind event is really rare
indigo falcon
it's apparently not all that rare.
pure elm
Considering iter 3 is almost done besides the eggs, I wanna do that now
wary pasture
Well Apergos gave me the wind warning, idk if it was that or luck, but I didnt see funnels either.
pure elm
I don't feel like I'm at that much of a risk
astral storm
I still feel that, aside from a few glitches that can be survived by simply smashing alt+F4, NMS is the most permadeath worthy game I know.
indigo falcon
if one had alt+f4...
languid dove
- clips through freighter * yep
astral storm
It's still nothing compared to games like X or Darksiders 3 having a permadeath mode. With those it's kinda... ridiculous.
pure elm
Okay egg milestone is done
indigo falcon
dang fast! woo hoo
indigo falcon
used base and walls?
astral storm
That's what I did first time, but honestly...? I shouldn't have. Just use the minotaur. Maybe quickly beef it up with the new story line
Mine did a pretty excellent job of lasering the things away while I grabbed some eggs for pure fun later
astral storm
Yeah, I mean you collecting on foot and the minotaur AI-controlled
pure elm
used base and walls?
Yeah
wary pasture
I used a base and walls myself. Took the most fearful part of this exp and turned it into a cakewalk. For me anyhow..
Sounds like you're pmuch done Eggy
astral storm
Well, the one time I did die was during egg collection too. Alas that was a glitch, not those things
pure elm
Same. I built walls and a floor around an egg nest. Went to collect the stuff. Then I suddenly got yeeted out
astral storm
I get yeeted into orbit without using a base
pure elm
Ok since anchor 4 has been done without much of a hitch, I guess I'll immediately do 5
indigo falcon
go go go!
pure elm
I just tried to use a "yep yep yep" tenor made from land before time and it says the content is blocked :(
Are gifs not allowed?
Welp the moment has been kinda ruined 😔 Just wanted to say "yep yep yep" in response
indigo falcon
no memes or gifs in the channel yeah
pure elm
Makes sense. Again I just wanted to respond in what I thought was a fun way because I was excited
wary pasture
Aww moment ruined by restrictions. Shucks
indigo falcon
yep yep yep
pure elm
I should probably remember to check the channel description more often
indigo falcon
( 😛 )
wary pasture
Ayyee
indigo falcon
anyways looking forward to the live tweets of phase 5
pure elm
Yep yep yep!
wary pasture
Ooo now that its mentioned think I'm interested as well. Just to see what's said
Seeing more exp review vids on youtube now.
indigo falcon
besides then we can cheer Eggy on
wary pasture
Yes indeed.
Go Eggy🎉
You can always tell watching others play if they are part of the discord or not. Using different strategies and just doing things differently than how we all discuss.
pure elm
Ok apparently I just experienced something really weird
Warped to a system (in search of the last one because for some reason it hasn't showed), told me there were some "corrupted starforms", which then disappeared and then a freighter captain spoke to me as though I just saved them
Didn't get any freighter coords tho
indigo falcon
multiplayer on?
pure elm
Change of plans: I gotta do something afk, then I'll continue
Yeah I have it on all the time
indigo falcon
that can cause weird crap like this
wary pasture
Ye this exp made me sooooo anti multiplayer. Just to try and avoid anything cant be explained.
pure elm
Okay continuing on
indigo falcon
yeah! Eggy about to rock Phase 5!
indigo falcon
perfect timing!
pure elm
Okay so
For some reason I'm getting damaged by something
But there literally is nothing here to damage me
pure elm
I caught a glimpse of what looked like a laser
indigo falcon
right nooooowwww???
pure elm
Yeah I'll turn it off for this planet
I have no clue what that was
Just something absolutely random
indigo falcon
Fixed a multiplayer issue that could cause players to incorrectly take damage that ought have been applied to a different player. <-- bug fix in experimental. don't let that be you
pure elm
Huh. I happen to have turned experimental off some time ago
indigo falcon
eh don't mess withit now
pure elm
I won't no worries
indigo falcon
just saying, hg knows there's something off
granite skiff
guyssssss shud i buy this , im new and still have the starter ship, or shud i get a nice useful fighter
indigo falcon
buy and keep, sure. it's going to have nice all around stats
and you can expand the storage later over time
astral storm
So the emergency boradcast receiver... what's the CD?
(Also keeping that typo)
indigo falcon
you tell me what CD means besides compact disc and I might be able to answer 😛
indigo falcon
if you have multiple or reuse one, you just need to get to planet or space station to pulse again
astral storm
Or to be maximally specific, the thing where it tells me it's jammed. When can I use another one?
Planet or station, got it.
indigo falcon
jammed? ah I've not seen that before
yeah you should be able to speedrun a bunch of times that way
pure elm
I believe when it tells you that it's "jammed", it's almost certainly because you have no inventory space left
Or otherwise it's a countermeasure to prevent you from losing the item for no reason iirc
astral storm
Actually let me confidently say no to both of those...
pure elm
Also I'm gonna do the last loop
astral storm
My inventory is half empty, and landing on a station, nor my freighter, nor even switching the system did anything for me
pure elm
I do wonder what the last few milestones are
astral storm
They're sort of spoilers? Although frankly guessing them isn't that hard either
indigo falcon
My inventory is half empty, and landing on a station, nor my freighter, nor even...
try teleporting out and back in; if that fails, try save and reload somewhere with a teleporter and then go back to the station or planet
pure elm
I wanna find these out on my own
indigo falcon
yep no spoiling
pure elm
Although I do know what one of them is, mostly because it came up
But I don't know the rest
bright copper
So if I want the big space whale I have to complete all the milestones for this thing without dying ?
pure elm
Oh huh
bright copper
Or is it like as much as I can get done in each life?
pure elm
So ||the derelict freighter is first||
indigo falcon
Or is it like as much as I can get done in each life?
see "persistence after death" in the pins
you do need to complete all 5 phases in the current life to get the end reward
indigo falcon
So ||the derelict freighter is first||
yep. have a good time 😄
pure elm
Well I'm unprepared for that lol, or what I actually mean is I left the supplies I need at home
indigo falcon
got ammo?
indigo falcon
heaters
pure elm
I know but I also like to be safe
indigo falcon
got even one cold protection and a pile of batteries?
pure elm
Got a cold protection but not a pile of batteries
indigo falcon
heaters it is then 😄
pure elm
I'll go suit up first
indigo falcon
if you leave the derelict it will despawn I think
wary pasture
Helios on the anamoly gives one distress beacon weekly. This is key to another.
pure elm
I got a whole bunch from turning in somnal dust
wary pasture
Noicee
indigo falcon
well every somnal donation got you a free one too
bright copper
see "persistence after death" in the pins
Thanks
wary pasture
I hadnt known that. Good I do now. :)
indigo falcon
yep, you can go farm a bunch of those if you want
wary pasture
I wanna say I need to go look, I likely have many I didnt know I had recieved. 😅
Make sure you keep some somnal dust btw. A stack of 32 to be exact. You'll thank me ina bit.
pure elm
I've teleported back to my base and why does it have to put me into the hole that just so happens to be under my teleporter 😔
I don't know how I'm gonna fill it up, I've tried
wary pasture
Tried the terrain manipulation on building mode? You can fill in areas as well as dig out.
My first few hours in this game I spent filling holes like a silly.
pure elm
The last time I tried, I can't terrain manipulate in build mode
indigo falcon
there's a create mode for the terrain manip
wary pasture
Lemme look at exactly how I was doing it and get back
indigo falcon
but if that hole existed before you built, you're stuck
because that will revert
you could try putting solid base pieces in there ... maybe... anyways ignore for now, focus focus!
wary pasture
Ye that why I felt silly after doing as I did with this 'create' terrain manip.
pure elm
The thing is, I dug into terrain and I have actually tried putting solid base pieces into the hole
It didn't do anything :(
indigo falcon
later you can move the dang teleporter! for now
wary pasture
Lmaoo
frosty pine
I need ||dioxite to combat the cold||
It's better to just take a stack of batteries with you
indigo falcon
you have a job to do 😛
pure elm
It's better to just take a stack of batteries with you
I prefer using materials instead but I can also take batteries I guess
indigo falcon
do what you prefer
wary pasture
They'll help. I kept a fat stack the whole exp
solid peak
Batteries are good as a backup, and it's good to have them because some recipes need them
pure elm
Yeah I've used batteries for some stuff
wary pasture
Moment I'd hear that voice, 'hazard systems are blah blah'
Yep yep recharge ty.
pure elm
As for hazard shields, I am more used to the respective element
E.g. ammonia for toxic protection
solid peak
And batteries also take up less space than the dioxide and phosphorus and stuff
frosty pine
I prefer using materials instead but I can also take batteries I guess
It's better space wise and usefulness wise. You can just use them for anything and use one per recharge of the full hazard protection
wary pasture
Oh ye that's really helpful tbh, just not so efficient given our limited inventory. 1stack of batteries to cover all bases. Nice and clean.
As Apergos said though, it's your expedition. :)
pure elm
I got a bunch of space so I don't mind that much :)
wary pasture
I'm just here rooting for ya 🎉
pure elm
That being said, I just bought some batteries but I'll still take dioxite
Okay time to get that freighter, here goes
wary pasture
The derelict?
pure elm
Yep
wary pasture
O.o
indigo falcon
aaaaahhhh the suspense is killing me 😄
wary pasture
Not sure if I've mentioned, but I do enjoy your weavile pfp.
pure elm
Not sure if I've mentioned, but I do enjoy your weavile pfp.
Thanks! I drew it myself
astral storm
Man these infestetation critters are weak but annoying. Are they easy to wipe in masses with the plasma launcher/geology cannon?
pure elm
Also I just took on one of the security robots and it... wasn't that scary to fight
pure elm
Man these infestetation critters are weak but annoying. Are they easy to wipe in...
Neutron cannon
In my experience
wary pasture
Ye the derelicts can be breezy, the first I visited was.
astral storm
Well the turrets are at least big targets that hold still. Hm, neutron cannon... once I have the BP I'll try.
Kinda wish I could bring my absolutely perfected infra knife into the derelicts
I think there is genuinely no way to go higher from what I know lol
pure elm
Okay I'm guessing that I'm very suited up because this derelict isn't that threatening so far
It also seems I've gotten an easy one
indigo falcon
good, keep up the good work!
indigo falcon
nice!
indigo falcon
yes I can't believe you didn't loot a bunch
indigo falcon
the rest are short
pure elm
Okay apparently I can't loot the somnal dust the way I could before
indigo falcon
check some crates, did you just skip them all? 😄 the large blue ones
pure elm
Okay so I just pulsed towards the station and got an object of interest
It's a... derelict freighter
The old kind tho
pure elm
I just accidentally bought an ebr while loading off the stuff for tainted metal lol
pure elm
Well I still have security credentials from another system's derelict but the scrap dealer isn't taking it for some reason
indigo falcon
yes normally so
indigo falcon
you did get the item at the end and the miletone, yes?
pure elm
Yep
pure elm
Sure
indigo falcon
let us know when you have built the item
worthy horizon
How long will it take me to do this Expedition? Do i still have enough time?
indigo falcon
you do, 2 weeks 4 or 5 days
astral storm
And it can be completely finished in like 2-3 days, my experience anyway
indigo falcon
radio silence from Eggy, wonder what's up
static willow
Is there actually any benefit to X class memory fragments?
supple radish
How long will it take me to do this Expedition? Do i still have enough time?
It took me 28 hours to finish after dying 17 hours in. I am not fast and was not trying to be fast, so for an average player I would plan on 15-20 hours of playtime? I am sure others will chime in and say you only need 10 hours or so, but just sharing my experience.
static willow
10 to 12 hours seems like a nice reasonable pace for people who are familiar with the basic mechanics of the game
indigo falcon
Is there actually any benefit to X class memory fragments?
yes, many of them are better than S, rolls have been improved for the expd
static willow
i’ll have to pay closer attention to the actual stats, thanks!
good news, my settlement in the expedition now pumps out Pugneum!
So that’s basically one free memory fragment per day
indigo falcon
that's handy
static willow
not that it’s too far away to get to the trading station 😉
At least it’s something useful, other settlements I’ve had in the past produced useless items
languid breach
i finished the expedition. where should i post the screenie for rolw?
indigo falcon
check the pins for all the info on that!
astral storm
I've got a settlement that produces an amazing 200 activated indium per day
I mean, nevermind the automatic mine nearby producing 10000 activated indium. Per hour.
But hey, the settlers are trying or something?
indigo falcon
trying your patience, more like 😄
astral storm
Well, I think the real saving grace of settlements... are the minotaur upgrades.
The rest is just noise and gameplay it seems
indigo falcon
I mean 1 million units worth of goods a day isn't a lot but over time, and supplementing other income, it can add up
you got your frigate expeditions, missions from the overseer, farmer, exocraft person... all that translates into several million units a day at least
add onto that scanning from exploring and that's pretty self sufficient
astral storm
The first couple scanner upgrades made a pretty solid difference, yeah.
500k just for scanning some animal for a moment is actually pretty much always worth the like 5 seconds it costs.
languid breach
<@&590975379678953522> role please :3
languid breach
rip eggy.
wary pasture
Gzzzz btw Kharmachaos 🎉🎉
languid breach
thankies! only had the one death.
wary pasture
Oh wow that's very fortunate. I had 3 deaths and various panic attacks. 😅
languid breach
honestly, i purposefully took down the sentinels first so their upgrades made everything else easy. completing the goals out of order is the way to go
astral storm
Actually, aside from the 1 glitch death and the other glitch assassination attempt I never really found myself in another I-might-just-die kind of moment
wary pasture
You do make a good point there. Sentinels were one of the last things I did.
astral storm
And yeah, first beefing up helps a lot
Pirates too. Easy to shred, and consistently drop good stuff
wary pasture
See sadly my first 3 were, environment, predator, fall.
And they all happened around anchor2
I wasnt horribly upset by the loop because of that.
languid breach
oof, rip. honestly i found a kind person's kill-the-pillar base on a particular planet so that made THAT section easy
wary pasture
Yessssss that's how I ended up knocking that part out.
supple radish
honestly, i purposefully took down the sentinels first so their upgrades made ev...
Agreed. I fought sentinels to get the pillar map, went to anchor point 4 planet and turned off the sentinels, then went to anchor point 4.
wary pasture
Really it's just exercising extreme caution, and being overly methodical in collection, everything is bearable.
astral storm
Gotta say, one of the things that really miffs me now is the terribly low amount of tech slots the exosuit offers. 14 slots felt like a lot back in the day before expeditions. But now tho...
smoky meadow
planning is also very important, if you know what you are doing the expedition can be almost completely no risk
general inventory also kinda counts as tech
smoky meadow
i mean thats just excessive, also this is on the expedition??
astral storm
My general tab is half tech. There's more tech than in the actual tech tab even
Expedition, yes
Arguably, I will definitely replace those S life support modules and nuke maybe one or two
As it stands my life support lasts for like 2 days on one load and that really is totally unnecessary. It's nice not to have to reload once every 30 minutes but yeah
smoky meadow
well at least they did add cargo not long ago which you could use as a replacement for your almost full general
astral storm
Which is how I can deal with it. And thanks to expedition inv boosters... and this one ridiculous dude my exosuit is long since decked out
Some guy just... dropped like 70 suit inv modules on me lol
Too much for a single person to even use so I gifted the rest to the next lucky guy
smoky meadow
in my main save i dont even use the general tab for tech, you can still everything but you dont really need everything
wary pasture
Ye ima say that's too much.
worthy horizon
@indigo falcon @astral storm @supple radish @static willow thanks guys!
smoky meadow
stuff like the C hazard protections one are kinda useless, life support maybe okay but not needed, you even have the breathing underwater one
wary pasture
So what's your tech tab look like than
astral storm
Yeah I was thinking of ditching the underwater things, I just didn't really need the slots yet
wary pasture
I have all I need and like likely more than 20slots in my regular inv.
astral storm
So what's your tech tab look like than
smoky meadow
i would say essentials are just movement and shield upgrades and one of each of the hazard protections (the ones that recharge with ion batteries)
astral storm
Eh, really? Is that new or do I just misremember the atlas pass thing? Ah well
wary pasture
Nope always been a thing as far as ik
Ye I'm thinking youd benefit from seeing a cleaner setup. All the upgrades and such can easily get away from ya. Start to resemble clutter and become unsure of what's actually helping or not.
astral storm
Well I know the life support units aren't helping anymore. Not this many anymore.
wary pasture
You've got some good ones though. I value s more than x myself.
astral storm
It's because the sentinel upgrades beef life support up too, and the upgrades are multiplicative
Well... the X ones are generally better across the board, except the super rare dud
wary pasture
That's under heavy discussion though. Are they buffed for expedition? They were never so likely to be as good outside of exp7. And will the rng revert once over?
astral storm
They are buffed.
All of my S tier upgrades are substantially beneath all of my X tiers
wary pasture
Ye we do know that much as true. But the rest remains to be seen right?
wraith junco
They are so buffed i think i will keep expedition save after it ends
wary pasture
I'm already continuing to play mine as my main save.
astral storm
I guess so. But it's not like your gear now will be rerolled later I think.
Same here. I had a good survival save but that one is years old
wary pasture
I guess so. But it's not like your gear now will be rerolled later I think.
Theres question in this statement, I can feel it. And i feel the same
Here's to staying hopeful 😬
smoky meadow
i just noticed the sentinel upgrades can just be a better version than a life support upgrade
has the potential to give the same buff but also gives extra ones
wary pasture
The sentinel ones are really niceee yes
astral storm
Indeed, which is also why I rock all 6 possible of them shamelessly
They make a colossal convenience difference
wary pasture
And remember you can host 3 in inv, and 3 in tech.
Ye for sure that's only being smart
smoky meadow
i really need to figure out my upgrades on my main save, im using only tech tab there for upgrades xD
69 hours on that save
actually thats crazy you already got so many upgrades
expedition op
wary pasture
Well since they allow us to craft memory fragments ye I'm sure some have opened hundreds by now.
astral storm
Not to mention the pirate stuff.
wary pasture
But the organizing and using tech tab, this can be abused to our gain, put the more important things there, and they dont break during core jumps.
astral storm
And what with nearly 70k DPS on my infra-knife, I guess like 60k taking shields into account farming pirates is very, very easy.
wary pasture
Whereas you regular inv will be horribly riddled with necessary repairs.
astral storm
I'm actually going towards the center using only normal jumps, not black holes
It's hardly even faster at this point actually
wary pasture
The scenic route*
astral storm
Well... with 2670ly jump distance...
wary pasture
Cant ever say where a black hole puts ya
astral storm
Yeah. And the time it takes to repair is the same time in which I just make another jump or two and get even
Just without the hassle. Plus regular freighter battles for bulkheads
wary pasture
Theres a set of coords, I've yet to use it, but the claim is it takes you to a core edge system always.
astral storm
Well... could definitely just use a portal, yeah. But I only used that for my second multi-tool
Since I also came in a little late... the original pistol at S class is still the perfect mining tool
Honestly it's ridiculous how much of my equipment in the expedition is already min-maxed
wary pasture
I'm almost miffed at that. Stinkn c class solar in my hanger lolol
Multi tool as well.
astral storm
Well, I have to kinda agree there... Starting a save now makes investing into both ship and tool permanently worth it
Whereas if you start right away... I mean you can beef them up with nanites now apparently, but meh
smoky meadow
if you dont like solar ships it being a c class is not really a problem
you can just get a new ship and work on that one
calm flax
Theres a set of coords, I've yet to use it, but the claim is it takes you to a c...
You can spam the first glyph or this is a couple I found a while back somewhere.
wary pasture
Ahh see someone else knows what I speak of.
But no there is a set of coords online. I have a pic as well.
astral storm
Well, my ship design isn't my favorite, but it looks good enough to keep it permanently. Besides I don't necessarily want to try and get another ship to the same level of absolute destruction perfection as this one
wary pasture
They are proven. So the claims state.
calm flax
if you dont like solar ships it being a c class is not really a problem
Or you can use curious deposits or scrap first wave exotics or first wave squid to get the 85k nanites.
smoky meadow
you can also grab a new S class solar, there is always the case that the starting one is just not to your liking
wary pasture
Ye I'm just on the path of an exotic I think. Or LS one of the two.

I like to use exotics and look at my LS.
wary pasture
I think a LS on expedition save would just be such an accomplishment in itself.
astral storm
Exotic is the path I took on my other save. Actually I got an exotic in the expedition save too. I even bought it in the starting system.
smoky meadow
nevermind
wary pasture
Ye 😅
astral storm
But I'm thinking of scraping that ship lol
wary pasture
That's pretty neat to get one soo early.
astral storm
While it is a royal, it's not the nicest look, and the inv module seems more tempting
Eh... I got it in the starter system, but not at the start. It was a bit after I finished everything
calm flax
My last expedition save I started out with a S class solar ship. I just used it for the entire expedition even though I picked up a crashed solar ship.
smoky meadow
here is my optimal upgrade list, any suggestions?
------ Tech -----
1 jetpack
4 hazard protection technology upgrades
3 movement modules
3 defense upgrades
3 sentinel upgrades
------ General ------ ( 11 total)
1 life support
1 hazard protection
1 haz-mat gauntlet
1 personal refiner
1 airburst engine
3 movement upgrade
3 sentinel upgrades
wary pasture
The 4 hazard techslot are one of each type I imagine? What is the one in regular inv?
wary pasture
Ah ye I may do better with images sadly.
That is a nice neat list though. Credit given where it's due.
astral storm
I wonder, the hazard resistance stats, they also apply to the ion battery powered S tier upgrades, right?
smoky meadow
thats a good question
astral storm
I think and feel it does, but I wouldn't bet my kidneys
If they do, they are super worth the convenience. For me anyway. Also makes it so I don't need to stop and drop what I do to recharge a failed shield right away
smoky meadow
but isnt it just like 10% per upgrade
wary pasture
I do believe so, as I have 3 hazard protections in some cases, and it shows both the a and c classes as using their batteries. But once empty it's not as if shields are fully down yet. I'm thinking that's the 3rd still giving its 21% protection.
astral storm
Well, 10%*6 would be 60%, assuming it's additive. And 81% with the C types
That's not taking in adjacency bonuses into account, which might or might not push it higher
smoky meadow
i feel like without upgrades its already good enough though
also personally i havent used my freighter ever for storage so i value inventory space on the exosuit a lot more
wary pasture
Ahh I've gone and built storage on freighter. So the suit is quite light these days.
astral storm
I find that the decked out cargo tab on my exosuit is plenty alone, so I appreciate using less time to maintain stuff.
late sky
i actually use my freighter storage a lot bc the teleport tech lets me access it from basically anywhere
so its kinda like a second exosuit :P
astral storm
Similarly I don't mind wrecking a ton of slots for the jetpack, at least so long as I can't summon the minotaur everywhere quite yet
wary pasture
Ahh you've got the materializer.. I'm jelly
late sky
but most of the items stored on my freighter are things like lemmium so that takes up a lot of space
astral storm
Yeah... I so want the materializer too. And I'll get it, but it's friggin expensive
smoky meadow
recharging my stuff i do it in like 3 seconds so i dont mind it too much, its already a second thought (i have played more than 100 hours barely using life support or hazard protection upgrades)
astral storm
Well I store lemmium and whatever in the extra rooms usually
But a materializer would be... sooooo convenient
smoky meadow
recharging my stuff i do it in like 3 seconds so i dont mind it too much, its al...
i did anchor 4 without hazard protection upgrades, like collecting the storm crystals xD
just drained ion batteries...
astral storm
Well... they are cheap at least, yeah
wary pasture
Oh my, I hopped out of starship collected hopped back in. For each and every crystal. 😂
wary pasture
Lmao ok I'm not alone.
astral storm
Although having 70% cold resistance (or more if adjacency counts) makes a ridiculous difference in derelict freighters
calm flax
i did anchor 4 without hazard protection upgrades, like collecting the storm cry...
I dropped a base computer then built a 4 wall building around the grave and did it at my leisure at anchor point 4
astral storm
I remember my first story derelict I didn't even have the S shield since RNGeezus didn't want to. It was recharging all the time. With that resistance just snapping on a heater occasionally while I'm looting is plenty
smoky meadow
just the cold upgrade is insane, is like a 5x upgrade from normal or something
calm flax
I've got a few good S class upgrades from checking out the damaged machinery.
smoky meadow
i did anchor 4 without hazard protection upgrades, like collecting the storm cry...
disclaimer i did have to get on my ship after like grabbing 2 of them, but there were freaking tornados
late sky
imo i don't need the cold upgrades
i usually stock like 100 ion batteries next to my hazard protection so i just pop one in
calm flax
If you fly your ship around to the storm crystals you can pick out the spots with the most in that location instead of just taking what's the closest to you
smoky meadow
in the expedition if you get a ton of uranium, then you can do like most stuff just with the ship
i even did it for the memories, is like: landing, scanning, marking the direction, then i head in the direction with my ship.
wary pasture
That's what I did. Bought 500 uranium at the first station I could and was set.
I did the same lmao
Land at portal for anchor, hop out manual save, hit memory resonator, then back in ship headed to grave. 😂
astral storm
You can also either just pop a minotaur station down on such a planet and have it real easy, or pop 6 launch thruster X upgrades into your starship and have each launch cost like 8 or 9%
smoky meadow
i dont think you can get launch thruster upgrades from memories though
wary pasture
That's what I need. 0 efficiency on that uranium. Quite sure my thrusters have a special straw.
astral storm
Actually I think you can get launch thrusters only from memories... let me check
smoky meadow
i have done the expedition 3 times and i didnt get it
astral storm
Yeah. For whatever weird reason the "Suspicious Packet (Technology)" doesn't have LT upgrades in the pool.
Memory fragments though do
astral storm
Well yeah. That's where I got mine from.
smoky meadow
would had been a time save for my meh speedrun
had to mine the blue crystals a few times...
astral storm
It's "only" 4 X and 2 S to be fair, since I got 2 of them before the last milestone upgrade, but yeah
Yeah, launch costs are ridiculously harshly in the beginning.
50% is something you REALLY feel
smoky meadow
its fine if you have uranium, also big time loss on my speedrun since i didnt find it on the stations i visited
astral storm
Not to mention that launch fuel is stupid expensive when bought, very unlike ion batteries/life support gel
smoky meadow
its fine if you have uranium, also big time loss on my speedrun since i didnt fi...
but made the other launch fuel instead with help from some stuff at the trade terminal as backup
you can buy the stuff it is made of
astral storm
Yeah, the ingredients are cheap at least, and finding uranium is decent. But in the long run having the upgrades is definitely better. Having 6 of them let's me get away with the passive recharge completely
smoky meadow
yeah though for just finishing the expedition is a lot of work to try and get them, when there is an easier alternative
in my main save i do have all 6 of them in my ship + the passive recharge
astral storm
Yeah, if you consider the expedition save disposable, absolutely
Since for me it'll be my new main save it's a different story
smoky meadow
yeah
i still dont know if i want to keep any of my expedition saves
i might even make a new one so i can get the inventory upgrades on a ship of my preference
wary pasture
I am, this has just made us all surpass the tutorial island that is normal mode.
astral storm
As in make a new save and transfer the upgrades?
wary pasture
I must admit I wont erase my normal save for all I've done there. But this is main bae now
smoky meadow
im confident i can do the expedition in less than 2 hours easily, so like just making a new save
i already wasted the inventory upgrades on my other saves
wary pasture
Ye, theres not much reason to create more than one besides shaving times for personal achievement.
calm flax
The easiest way I've maxed out my inventory on a new normal save is to refine around 200k cobalt. Then strart crashing the market and getting the inventory slots at the space station and anomaly and the glyphs from the travelers I find. Usually by the time I max out my inventory I have all my glyphs and around 1B.
smoky meadow
i would say otherwise, my original save with C-class stuff is pretty barebones, if i just do the expedition right now it would take me just a few hours and i end up with S-class ship and multi-tool and a bunch of op X-class upgrades
but just getting memories can be pretty fast so i guess is a lot more effort for around the same rewards
wary pasture
When really you could just grind out units for better ships and multitools. And continue making memory fragments and opening in hopes of finding that upgrade.
smoky meadow
yeah though the inventory upgrades are the tempting thing
getting upgrades for inventory normally is a bit of a pain without a first wave exotic location and that also requires a good amount of units
wary pasture
Yep the whole time I'm thinking everything beyond what we now have would be units or nanites.
smoky meadow
i could make a save just to extract the inventory upgrades 🤔
wary pasture
I need to go visit this indium farm. Someone has already built an enormous one.
astral storm
I do have a 50 miner indium farm in a place pretty close
How can you actually benefit from visiting other peoples bases? Can you actually take stuff from them if allowed? I suppose yes
wary pasture
Man this guys I think he said a number in the 900s
astral storm
How friggin high do you have to tower that? Geez
wary pasture
Yes. If you're offline, you can collect, and leave. Then I can come right behind you and also collect.
But always always, turn off multiplayer before entering another person's base. If you collect and leave you can ruin it.
calm flax
If you want to make the most from selling your activated indium this is a good place to go. They pay 979 and it's in Euclid
wary pasture
How friggin high do you have to tower that? Geez
This was in the image shared. It's in this channel.
astral storm
But always always, turn off multiplayer before entering another person's base. I...
How that? As in stealing it or something worse?
calm flax
Man this guys I think he said a number in the 900s
I only have around 630k units of storage but, pretty much everyone I've seen go there can't even hold that much.
astral storm
Is that 900 miners though? It does not look like it, and isn't the layout inefficient, nice as it looks?
wary pasture
Well if online you start the clock of reload. Plants take hours to regrow.
calm flax
This was in the image shared. It's in this channel.
This is mine. I had to downsize to approx 630k because I kept hitting the build limit.
wary pasture
Ah is that you. You have another discord acct than?
calm flax
I probably change my name from time to time
wary pasture
I was spreading word about you and didnt know. Lmao
astral storm
What's the hourly yield? Is that 630k?
calm flax
Thanks. It's only there for the other players so I'd like to see a bunch of people use it.
wary pasture
Erm I'm unsure. Astoroth posted this.
smoky meadow
thats insane, its on the expedition?
calm flax
What's the hourly yield? Is that 630k?
I don't even know. It fills up once a day I'm pretty sure.
wary pasture
Either way I plan to stop by fellow traveler.
calm flax
Either way I plan to stop by fellow traveler.
I encourage people to build a base on the planet and also there's a nice planet in the system that pays 979 to build a small base on.
wary pasture
Oo than I shall. 😊
I'd like to be a returning grocery shopper anyway. Haha
Well dang I may ask you for updated imagery and glyphs than. Not that the glyphs have changed.
calm flax
I really like exploring the planet myself. I used to go around looking for activated indium and electromagnetic hotspots close together so when I helped someone get there they'd have a spot to build their own activated indium base if they wanted to.
wary pasture
Oo, perhaps a journey we too can take. I'm excited
Omg you serious that's the planet?!
OMW
calm flax
I think it's a great planet myself.
astral storm
You placed those bubbles manually I guess?
wary pasture
Gorgeous I love the purple. Is there bioluminescence at night?
Nooo it's a paradise. Bubbles are good.
Means no sentinels.
calm flax
I helped someone get to the activated indiium planet I found myself in Hyades a few days ago. They wanted me to help find a activated indium hotspot. The first place I landed I found an S class activated indium hotspot and eventually found a C class electromagnetic hotspotg less than 950u away.
no sentinels on a normal save. I went there on my survival save and it was an extreme sentinel planet.
astral storm
Decent. I have my base on a planet someone else called Phendrana. Searching the spot was a royal PITA, but it's an S class mining slot with an A class power spot. Frozen planet though, in case the name doesn't make it clear
Looks downright earth like
wary pasture
Very very earthy
calm flax
That's a good find
astral storm
It's a shame there's no activated mining spots on glitch planets tho...
calm flax
I also like cold planets
wary pasture
90% water? Lol
Sadly most the earth's I find are.
I'm just not the underwater base type.
calm flax
I've probably got over 1k u of underwater tunnels on my main normal save at my main base.
wary pasture
I just idk, I've seen more bugs underwater than above in my experience. Having plants or animals come swimming in is discomforting. Lol
astral storm
I just idk, I've seen more bugs underwater than above in my experience. Having p...
looool, sounds nice, doesn't it?
Yeah I've got some underwater stuff on myprevious main save, but idk if and when I'd bother in expedition
Blueprint prices are insane so I unlock them only very pickily
astral storm
almost, yeah
wary pasture
Built for speed type swimmers
astral storm
This is as far as I currently got with my setup. 51 miners technically since I'll add a 3rd layer eventually and a 4th is planned too. But first I want the silos to actually hold stuff for at least some time
calm flax
I wish I could remember which planet it was on but, I found a base someone built at a minor settlement that had a blue experimental in it. I didn't have the money to buy it but, it is in a Vy'Keen system so I kept talking to the Vy'Keen npc at the minor settlements until they offered me a multitool and it was the experimental B class.
It was a C class in the box at their base.
That's one thing I like about going to the minor settlements in Vy'Keen systems. I ended up 3 A24 rifles in a row on one of my saves going to them.
astral storm
Didn't find any great tools in my expedition save yet. Well there was an alien B class in one of the sentinel pillars but eh
Damn. And well, now that you can upgrade them...
calm flax
I found a couple of bases people built that had royal multitools in them
astral storm
I don't even know if royal existed back when I played my previous active save before expeditions
wary pasture
I've never been able to afford a royal tool. 😅
astral storm
Although it's a bit of a shame that Royals/Experimentals aren't the optimal tools to use overall. It's Alien for damage and Pistol for Mining after all.
wary pasture
Experimental is the best if only using 1tool. If you care to swap yes having 1 alien and 1pistol are best.
astral storm
That's what I'm rocking. Although wouldn't Alien still be best for a single tool?
wary pasture
It's all truly subjective and arguable. But if that were your argument I'd still say go experimental. It's best overall.
calm flax
I've never been able to afford a royal tool. 😅
Visit my activated indium base and you'll be able to afford a bunch of them. Just have 63 open storage slots or be prepared to make multiple trips.
wary pasture
I'm coming with a base computer.
Neighbor*
astral storm
Well, or even better a freighter with an materializer
wary pasture
That's a fr goal. I gotta figure out how to grind it out though
calm flax
I checked and it turns out I was mistaken about the B class experimental it is a C class experimental.
I think I got pretty lucky on one of my expedition saves. After I finished the expedition I was warping around looking for a paradise planet and happened up on a freighter battle for a long Sentinel freighter. I wasn't even looking for a freighter and wasn't even interested in checking it out especially since I only had around 14m on me. I had to look though and on the first battle it was a S 34+9 and I only needed 150m to upgrade to it.
astral storm
Yeah that's solid. I also got a smaller S class freighter right at the start.
And in a bit I'll have it at full slots too with farmed modules from battles
But as for a materializer... man together with the indium drive we're looking at I think 280 salvaged frigate modules
Uh nope. 330. Even better
random berry
I ended up settling on a B class tool because it had the scatter blaster module on it
Upgraded it to S
astral storm
Getting the base weapon blueprints can be semi-easily done by grinding out alien monoliths on planets too
Although they are unlocked in order and the scatter blaster comes towards the end...
random berry
I think I might be about done with the expedition though
calm flax
I like to get upgrades finding crashed ships. That's how I get the personal refiner.
random berry
I got the personal refiner pretty earlier on
calm flax
On the first 2 expedition saves I got it in the first system. The last one I didn't get it until I finished the expedition. I could have got it faster if I had just used maps to find the crashed ships. I find them by following ley lines and either finding the crashed ship or find transmision towers.
wary pasture
Following leylines. I dont see many speak of this. Very smart 🤓
astral storm
So I got 6 frigate modules so far. Safe to say that without either waiting for a save conversion and price normalization or straight up duplicating it with some other player, a freighter with a materializer isn't gonna happen
Grinding out a couple hundred salvaged data for the basics, feasible. Frigate modules? Big nope.
random berry
Yeah I gave up on that
wary pasture
Not the best to hear. I'm really unsure how many I have I'd have to check the freighter.
random berry
I found a freighter group that I got three from once
astral storm
Well, the plan there seems to be simply to wait for the expedition to end.
random berry
But I still only have like 8 total
astral storm
If prices revert, then the total tech tree cost should also drop down to like 58
As opposed to 330 for ONLY the materializer+indium drive
random berry
Yeah that's been a real drag too
astral storm
On the flip side, grinding out emergency broadcast receivers and thus freighter upgrade modules is currently orders of magnitude easier than it will be post expedition
random berry
True
I have like 60 beacons in my freighter
Although I saw something on Reddit about putting the beacon in your refiner before you board the ship
Doesn't consume the beacon when you are done
astral storm
That'd be a... ridiculous bug. Then again, since duplication is probably always going to be possible, if you put your mind to it, cheating is easy and comes in various flavors
languid breach
I wonder if i should restart my expedition save to get s class stuff 
also is is possible to get an s class capital freighter on this exped save?
astral storm
Well, yeah. I have one, albeit a small one. Then again a small one even is easy to upgrade with the increased freighter combat frequency
And I'm sure capital S freighters spawn all the same. Even though I had no luck, not am I going to keep trying now that I know that the small freighters can be uplifted to the same state
Also huh... this derelict freighter was... safe. No infestation, no defense turrets, no drones. Merely a handful of these green floating jellies. Didn't even know that there were freighters you could loot for free and so easy
onyx loom

Super easy to make the jump between the modules

Gotcha ok

The only modifiers for salvaged technology distribution are mission based
salvage technology = salvage data
Hey @indigo falcon Has a scatter blaster prepackaged module been confirmed from memory fragments for the exp?
Friend just asked if it was available at all, and I assume the only way to get it is memory fragment RNG as it is locked for purchase.
supple radish
Royal tools *always* start as C
Interesting. That is the first time I've ran across one. I just assumed since it is modeled after an S class ship it would have been an S class multi-tool. Thanks.
static willow
yeah common misconception, also, always do the reload check to see if your pillar has a royal. 😉
Just FYI, there are spotty reports of Royals spawning in different classes after Outlaws, but this is not 100% confirmed
For the longest time, the rule has been they will always spawn as C

Wait, so maybe I misinterpreted, are the modules available prepackaged from fragments, or only on a found tool?
The tools in NMSCE are the same in appearance on exp portal locations as far as we have found, but their weapons config is changed. Three attempts at tools with scatter yielded matching tools to the posts in appearance and class, but not loadout.

you won't get a scatter blaster on a seaprate memory fragment later. you can either get it as your main weapon fragment (it's one of the early phase 1 things) or find a tool with it (hard) but I'm pretty sure people have gotten it as their main.
wanton raft
I have milestones in the expedition which say memory fragments upgraded to S class and after that one, another which says memory fragments upgraded to X class. X class modules generally aren't as good as S class modules. I wonder if that's the case with memory fragments. The fact that the X class memory fragments upgrade comes after the S class upgrade would indicate it's better.

They are better than S. In expedition they got buffed

Look for planets that have extreme weather, they have a chance of having storm crystals
Planets with activated elements (activated copper, cadmium, emeril or indium) always have extreme weather

lots of other good things in the pins too, check 'em out!
keen mango
any tips to completing the new expedition? i might start it tomorrow
indigo falcon
see the pinned messages for some useful information.
remember too that this is survival-ish mode, which means that hazards cause more damage, as do attacks from hostiles, and shields recharge more slowly. a jetpack drop that does almost nothing in normal mode could kill you in this mode.
so take it cautious until you figure out the limits.

How do expeditions work and how do I sign up?
fringe agate
How do expeditions work and how do I sign up?
Expeditions are time limited, season-like, objective-based content. 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.
• Note: After expedition is over, the game will force the player to convert the Expedition save to a standard game mode save, in order to be able to continue playing that save.
Start a new save and choose that mode
fringe agate

Yeah, work at the various goals - they don't necessarily need to be done in order, but the rewards from,one can often help you finish another. So look at the various milestones and see what they give as well as what they will need.
copper heath
Okay
fringe agate
The pins here have useful info as well
indigo falcon
(thanks, was about to mention that again)
copper heath
What are memory fragments and why do I have so many
indigo falcon
open one and see!
pure elm
Mostly because it's RNG-based and the memory fragments may not give you what you need
My impression anyway
indigo falcon
also when they were C class you really needed a lot 🙂
indigo falcon
yep we're at that tier: you should have S mt and ship, and X class memory fragments
anyone starting now does.
pure elm
anyone starting now does.
That just reminded me how I want to make another, fresh save for the expedition because it was fun
indigo falcon
free (well almost free) storage!

Still 2weeks

Summer temps?
indigo falcon
Still hanging around if someone requires help
you should get the role for the server! see the pins on how to do it
sand wigeon
🤔 will have to look up that
sand wigeon
28C stuff temps outside
Ah right, so you prefer to be outside

Took a look, requires time
indigo falcon
not sure how hard getting screenshots off your platform is
kind of a nuisance for me (ps5)
sand wigeon
No, for discord 🙂
indigo falcon
ooohhh for posting the screenie when you get it, I see
tablet? really? huh. how is that?
fringe agate
I use mine mostly for discord
sand wigeon
Yes
sand wigeon
Yeah, also there are apps on tablet\phone for remote access to consoles
fringe agate
I do have to download from the Xbox app for that to happen though
My typical session on Xbox is followed by 10 minutes or so dling pics lol
indigo falcon
I remembered to pull all the crap off the console today so I could get the poster done. otherwise I might let shots pile up there for weeks or longer
fringe agate
I got in the habit of getting them immediately, limited space for uploads
On live I mean
indigo falcon
I do not do this with the camera, full discipline there: get home, pull shots off immediately, first pass processing immediately, no exceptions
ah cloud space limited? yeah I can imagine
tribal notch
Do we know just how much Liquid Sun Polo is after? That number is crawling so slowly.
i'm handing in like 5,000 at a time everytime i get a chance
it would be nice to se an actual number, no matter how big it is
indigo falcon
only 20 contributions (of any sort) from a single account are counted each day
you can get more memory fragments (or erbs if you turn in somnal) but above 20 contributions doesn't count towards the community progress
otherwise dupers would just dup for hours....

if this expedition is like the previous ones, you'll need to wait for the end of the six weeks before you can start the main quest.

tribal notch

This is true though, makes sense
indigo falcon
the X memory fragments are good either way
tribal notch
yeah i've amassed quite a few
is it even possible for this milestone to be completed at this point?
tribal notch
i completed the expedition after 5 attempts, so i'm just slowly building my exosuit up as something to o in the meantime
sand wigeon
i completed the expedition after 5 attempts, so i'm just slowly building my exos...
What you mean by 5 attempts? You died 5 times?
tribal notch
What you mean by 5 attempts? You died 5 times?
Yep
sand wigeon
Uf!
tribal notch
usually doing something very very stupid
i dont' play on survival mode much so it was the little things that knackered me
like running out of jetpack before i thought i would
sand wigeon
Right, need experience\patience on survival\perma
tribal notch
and you will observe that an Anomaly without a jetpack do not so much fly as plummet...
tribal notch
Right, need experience\patience on survival\perma
yes, i was very impatient to begin with
and also overly precious about my wares, when i just shoudl have concentrated on what was important
if things didn't persist throughout the expedition I honestly don't think I would have been able to do it.

i dont get where to get solar material 😦
you mean liquid sun or something else
mild jungle
yeah liquid sun
foggy cloak
yeah liquid sun
ah, then use the solar ray technology to mine a resource deposit
indigo falcon
any resource deposit will do. aiui you should adjust the solar ray to the largest diameter (unlike the terrain manip) for the best yield.
mild jungle
ah, then use the solar ray technology to mine a resource deposit
no matter the ressource ?
thought it has to be solr deposit or some sort, thx
foggy cloak
no matter the ressource ?
yes
indigo falcon
nope, it magically converts stuff
pure elm
Yea all you need is the Solar Ray, and when you point at a deposit, the pop up will say that the resource will be transmuted :)

almost got killed by a tornado sucker launched me in the air

pure elm

indigo falcon
congrats on making it through that!
fathom schooner
Why are there so many settlements?
indigo falcon
why not?
tribal notch
congrats on making it through that!
That was one of the things that killed me. the Tornado yeeted me off a cliff. I was very annoyed 😦
indigo falcon
oh dang 😦 that really sucks
gilded tiger
This is why you gotta have minotaur. I got yeeted then bby came 5 seconds before death
tribal notch
minotaurs don't save you from Monstrosities... I found that out the hard way
gilded tiger
I just run on foot 😅

You better name the planet before double dash gaming!

The names arent sticking anyway last I heard.
You load out, and load back into a procgen name. From the reports I've read anyway.
indigo falcon
the names will be sticking now, latest patch fixes that (serverside too)
wary pasture
Oo good to hear. Tysm for the news flash Apergos truly. 🤓

yeah that was a big one. this last patch is golden

One of these nearly killed me on my perma-death run. Had never encountered one before so it was a complete surprise. Survived the first and ran into one of those small freight container-like buildings - yep, apparently the tornado can suck you right out of those. FYI.
Luckily I had enough exosuit shield modules to survive the fall after my panicked jetpack attempts ran me out of fuel. With the storm it was also difficult to see where exactly the ground was. Fun times.

Hello again
granite kiln
so uh, whats with polo and not taking any liquid sun/ancestral memories/(possibly) somnal dust?
sand wigeon
Is it possible you have to small of a stack?
Or I heard earlier that there is daily quota of 20 stacks, so perhaps it’s that
granite kiln
Is it possible you have to small of a stack?
dont think so, the quest says i can turn the liquid sun in to polo
i just wish he would take it so i can get the hyperdrive
sand wigeon
Oh so, first delivery
granite kiln
yes
sand wigeon
Well then 🤷🏽♂️
🤔, maybe you should try jumping to another system and resuming anomaly there
Oh damn, that won’t go
granite kiln
🤔, maybe you should try jumping to another system and resuming anomaly there
yeah thats not possible cause i dont have the hyperdrive
sand wigeon
Since you lack hyperdrive
wary pasture
How much at a time are you trying to turn in?
He does ask for pretty decent sized stacks.
granite kiln
i have 515
sand wigeon
Ok what about exiting game and re-summoning anomaly?
wary pasture
Ye if anything drop a manual save and reload it. Never know sometimes.
granite kiln
Ok what about exiting game and re-summoning anomaly?
done that multiple times
sand wigeon
Strange
Hmm, maybe you could go to another system via interstellar terminus on anomaly
Or if you group up with someone and then sync to teammate system?
verbal flame
Anyone know what planet or system has storm crystals?
sand wigeon
Just look for any planet with active minerals on it
Or you could join me and I can give you some, have surplus
