nms-expedition

[steel pagoda]

I did hold off on all phase 5 until 1-4 were done the first time

[wary pasture]

I cant type atm for some reason 😑

[steel pagoda]

Drop the beer.

Have delicious stew instead

[wary pasture]

No doubt though once I got to anchor 5 I just ran it straight at that point.

Lol no drinking going on here.

[steel pagoda]

So after I got my reward I shot down the cargo pods lol

[wary pasture]

Ooooooof

And they thought they were saved from pirates.. 😈

[steel pagoda]

Well. Blame the milestone

Don't think I stole 500k worth though. That ship was weak

[wary pasture]

Ouchhhh the afterburnnnn

Weeewooooo 🚒

[teal jetty]

how do ppl contribute to the loop progress

[steel pagoda]

Turning into polo

Has a daily limit per person

[teal jetty]

whats that limit

[steel pagoda]

Believe it's 20 @remote thunder

[teal jetty]

of each or 20 of any

[steel pagoda]

20 turn ins per person per day anything

[teal jetty]

ok thank you

[steel pagoda]

Np

The loop has ended.

[median ember]

I see lots of bases around anchor point 2

Not mine...they in purple and many save beacons... including red ones... 🤔

[steel pagoda]

This poor dude crashed on an agressive sentinal planet.

[glass solstice]

Were you able to complete the expedition though?

[steel pagoda]

Still working on it. But I think ||I turned off permadeath||

Can't verify

[glass solstice]

Can I see your Iteration 5 screen please? Pretty please lol

[steel pagoda]

Yea let me pm incase of spoilers lol. I do the lazy cell phone photo of my screen

4 milestones left between phase 3 and 4

Polo gave me a second geo cannon. I must be special

[teal jetty]

if you finish do you lose your progress if you die?

[glass solstice]

||Apparently, no||

[teal jetty]

ok thank you

[steel pagoda]

I'd rather not test it lol

[glass solstice]

Hang on imma test it real quick

[steel pagoda]

Brave soul

Get revenge on those turrets for me

Resilliant soul, I salute you!!!

Oh wait...wrong game

I might get to test it also. The abandoned building my map sent me to is on an agressive sentinal planet

[indigo falcon]

did you finish phase 5 already?

[steel pagoda]

Yep

I was super defensive on the derelict and skipped a lot. Avoided the storage doors.

[indigo falcon]

don't forget to ||put any useful items into cargo inventory in your suit so you don't lose them if you do die||

[steel pagoda]

Thought ||perma ended||?

[indigo falcon]

and manual saves often too, in case of game glitches.

[teal jetty]

one of the planets that had to go to was agressive sentinel +extreme weather. was hard getting to the places i needed to go

[indigo falcon]

well see, ||survival mode means you lice on but you would lose your inventory in general slots in your suit||

[steel pagoda]

Ah ok

Funky

[indigo falcon]

if you remember, in normal mode that stuff winds up at a grave marker if you die. in survival mode it's gone; in perma your whole saev is gone (or in this case, all your milestone progress).

[steel pagoda]

I'm in a bit of a sticket wicket. They won't seem to abandon me hiding in this building and search

Ah ok

[indigo falcon]

oh the aggro sentinels?

[steel pagoda]

Yea

They uses to lose you and search and move on.

[indigo falcon]

do they actually see you? are you line of sight from any that are not in the building?

[steel pagoda]

It's like they can see into the building with xray

[indigo falcon]

huh

so there's no timer started on the searrch at all?

[steel pagoda]

Nope. Second time

They're frantcially bouncing around the outside of building.

But i'm locked on

[indigo falcon]

you could probably save and reload to get rid of that but as soon as you started after the eggs (or putting down walls) they would likely be back

[steel pagoda]

Oh maybe

The cloaking device wouldn't last long enough. But i got a partial search

[indigo falcon]

oh?

you can sort of spam the cloacking device

[steel pagoda]

Yea the manual save did it. They deactivated

[indigo falcon]

probably not worth trying to get the eggs there, sounds like a mess

[steel pagoda]

Idk if an agressive planet bugs it out

I doubt it

I should switch systems to one without an agressive

[indigo falcon]

yeah try that maybe. weather is easy to deal with, drones gone amuck will just get in your way as you try to get anything done

[steel pagoda]

And my inventory is bursting also

[indigo falcon]

anything you can put in your ship?

[steel pagoda]

Also maxed out. Gonna head to freighter.

[indigo falcon]

sounds about right, all that free storage on there

[steel pagoda]

You keeping the flute that makes you toot?

[indigo falcon]

I kept everything but probably not goign to continue playing that save

[steel pagoda]

I forgot to use the wailing lol

[indigo falcon]

long as the game let you do the milestones, who cares 😄

[steel pagoda]

I could just wail at the moon tonight and call it a day

[indigo falcon]

awww

[teal jetty]

dig a hole, go in it and cover the entrance

[indigo falcon]

so lessee, Cebrac Elywin (first anchor system) has no aggro sentinels on any world, and it's low conflct too

couple worlds with extreme weather there, but you know how to handle that

[steel pagoda]

I mean I hope so by now lol

I took a portal to my anchor 1 base and it says swarm subsiding lmao

[indigo falcon]

eyeroll

[steel pagoda]

Do they have hyperdrives installed now?

In their tukkus perhaps?

This game is already weird with stuff. I'm just making it weirder.

It's after midnight. My brain is gone after 4 hours of extreme crap lol

[indigo falcon]

how many milestones you got left?

[steel pagoda]

Oops I died lmao. But I cleared the milestone first.

The horror flung me like 3 miles and over a cliff.

[cerulean fable]

Thats a horrible way to die. xD

[indigo falcon]

holy crap ouch

well welcome to the "yeeted by horrors" club if you weren't already a member

[steel pagoda]

Yea

But I kept my items on load in lmao

I got greedy. Tried to do 4 eggs at once to bang it out

Least they didn't spit in my mouth or lay eggs in my stomach

[indigo falcon]

gross gross!

all right so. how many milestones do you got left now?

[steel pagoda]

2

[indigo falcon]

wow home stretch for real!

[steel pagoda]

Seems so

[indigo falcon]

also save your dang game

[steel pagoda]

Since they ||don't reset||

Soon as I find my ship again

[indigo falcon]

how about manual save? 😛

[steel pagoda]

Lol nah. I just saved with my ship. Tho it's surrounded by beacons

The beacons are replaying their messages in deep space.

[indigo falcon]

yeah there's that delay thing where stuff is in the queue and you get the actual display wherever

I have a message capsule by the teleporter to welcome people to the beach bar and it plays in all kinda weird locations because I'm in a hurry when I come through or leave

[steel pagoda]

Ah

I haven't experienced it before.

Well i'll finish the last two milestones tomorrow night. 😀

[indigo falcon]

okay! almost there

which ones are those?

[steel pagoda]

Storm crystals. And the pirate smuggling goods.

[indigo falcon]

oh, so easy! awesome

[steel pagoda]

I wish I left the languages last

I did the smuggling pretty fast my first play through.

[indigo falcon]

and you know where that storm crystal world in the pins is

sweet

[steel pagoda]

I'll probably go there cuz I can't remember where I did them last time.

It's just 1am for me. And I still have like 85% of my posessions and clothing packed and a bathroom under construction.
Remind me the freighter cargo pods don't count for contraband? Maybe i got lucky last time on what dropped

Or i was in a pirate system

[static willow]

Only goods that say “black market” are contraband

[steel pagoda]

Ah yea. Thanks

Pretty sure I got a lot of it from cargo pods

[sharp shore]

And goods that say contraband on them

[indigo falcon]

hey so @median ember

the starter world has a ton of bases

[sharp shore]

• nipnip buds that aren't even labelled contraband

For some reason

[indigo falcon]

just go to the space station and check the teleporter list and look for all the ones that are uh

[median ember]

My hyperdrive sucks

[indigo falcon]

weather "Infrequent Heat Storms"

the trick about checking the discovery tab for bases, that's for your own bases if you can't keep track (which I often cannot any more)

[median ember]

Its only showing me for current system

[indigo falcon]

what system are you in?

[median ember]

Anchor point 2...going back to take on the predators 😑

[indigo falcon]

oh

well just look for Rowland Desk space station in the teleporter list

from ther go to any base on the starter world, done

[median ember]

It doesn't show up...i dint land on space station... before leaving...i was pissed at getting killed x15 times 😑

[indigo falcon]

ok well

go to um

what's the last space station entry all the way at the bottom if you scroll down the list?

[median ember]

And what sucks...is i dint got single hyperdrive upgrade this time 😭

[indigo falcon]

ok but let's see how close we can get you

what's tha last space station in the list?

[median ember]

I got close...and now jumping through systems to get there

[indigo falcon]

oh! ok nm

[median ember]

Last time it took 2 jumps... compared to 10 😑

[indigo falcon]

well Crbrac Elywin is anchor 1

but you probably stopped at some space station before that

it would be the lst one in the list

but if you're already en route,....

[median ember]

I have a minotaur bay in my inventory...is it one time use or can i redeploy it 🤔

[wanton raft]

You can destroy it and reassemble it so it's multiple use.

[median ember]

How to destroy it....using delete or dissaembly

[wanton raft]

On the "Meet the end" milestone, do you loose your inventory? Just wondering if I should move inventory into the freighter, for instance, in order to keep more of it or anything like that.

[rough hatch]

I got soo lucky last night! While destroying sentinels for other players settlements, i got a sentinel outpost map. Went there and it was near a crashed freighter! Boom! Two expedition obiectives done!

Also, thanks to the player that named his base "storm crystals"! I landed on said planed and completed another objective!

[indigo falcon]

delete the item and you get the materials back

then put it wherever

typically on a planet you will place it, immediately pick it up and just summon the minotaur as you walk around

and want it at some place

[indigo falcon]

sec lemme see which one that is

oic

this is a spoiler so I'll just tag the reply

oh I can answer a different way

if this loses you your inventory it's going to lose it out of the freighter too

I mean if it's a true reset, all your inventory is wiped so... take that for what it's worth

[wanton raft]

That's a bit of a non-answer answer. You could just answer in spoilers or send a dm.

[indigo falcon]

I could but it would, well

you should just experience the thing

that's all

break the loop, what choice do you have after all?

[wanton raft]

So take it you're saying that if there is pain, there's no way to make the pain better by actions before.

[indigo falcon]

yes

just do the thing

take the leap into the unkown

[wanton raft]

So I assume the last milestone one which the community has to complete?

[indigo falcon]

oh the optional one?

yeah all optional ones are "community"

don't worry about those

if you're a completionist, turn in 20 stuffs to Polo a day

otherwise, do whatever

[echo mountain]

Just finished the leviathan expedition :D

[sick kelp]

nice

after you destroy all the sentinel ships and all the guns off their freighter is there anything else you can do with it or ?

[echo mountain]

?

[indigo falcon]

not really no

[indigo falcon]

you know what you can do now? you can get the server role for completion! see the pins in here for how to do it

[echo mountain]

ok! thx

<@&590975379678953522>

[ashen shore]

Sorry but I can't help but wonder how long does it take you to move the cursor around from left to right edge of the screen

[glass solstice]

That’s one wide screen

[nimble token]

metre long mousepad for it

[drifting palm]

Is the last part of the expedition dangerous?

Where you meet Leviathan

[indigo falcon]

you should do it and see

[drifting palm]

I mean, am I gonna die? Hahaha

[indigo falcon]

it's not like you have a choice to avoid meeting it, unless you want to pack up your ship and go home 😛

[drifting palm]

I hope that's the way it should finish hahaha

I was expecting something like that

[indigo falcon]

whatever happens, no spoilers for others 🙂

[drifting palm]

Ok

I spend 10 hours on it hahaha

[indigo falcon]

only 10? that's fast 😛 😄

so you finished??

[drifting palm]

Really? 😂

[drifting palm]

Yess

[indigo falcon]

ok so you can now get the server role and get the nifty icon after your name! see the pins in here for how

[glass solstice]

Another one has broken the loop?

[drifting palm]

I think so

[glass solstice]

Well, congratulations then lol

[drifting palm]

Where do I claim the frigate in my save?

[glass solstice]

[drifting palm]

Thanks 😋

[glass solstice]

The quicksilver merchant guy at the anomaly

[drifting palm]

Who is he?

[glass solstice]

He’s next to the Nexus

Right side

[drifting palm]

Oh, found him

Thanks!

[glass solstice]

Also, you can call the mod, with proof of completion to claim a cosmetic role

[drifting palm]

I'll do it after, I'm trying to claim the frigate

[static willow]

Just picked up this beauty for my expedition save.

[glass solstice]

@somber robin here’s an example

[somber robin]

ah ha

thank you

[glass solstice]

Yup, have fun

[median ember]

Does a predator idiot protect me from other idiots or not?!

[fierce salmon]

<@&590975379678953522> i finished the expedition! :D

[median ember]

Anyone?!

[fierce salmon]

im not sure what youre asking.

are you asking if companion predators are hostile to wild predators?

[drifting palm]

<@&590975379678953522>

Wow, that was fast

Thanks

[fierce salmon]

companions will hunt wild creatures however this may not mechanically be the same as defending you.

im sorry i dont have a better answer

[median ember]

I got it....so that antwalker is useless unless he wants to kill me 😑

[viral latch]

christ...I only just found out there was an expedition up atm and there's like 8 days to go lol

[glass solstice]

It depends on their aggressive stats as well

[remote thunder]

do suggest jumping in, reading the pinned posts here will most likely help and set you up for a successful run

[indigo falcon]

and people in here can give advice based on their times through too

lots of help available if needed

[magic elbow]

so... i tried hopping back into the expediuon after a few weeks of not playing, and now whenever i try landig on a planet the game freezes and eventually crashes, i verified file integrity, i can land on space ststions and anomalies, just not on planets... which ykn...ckinda makes it impossible to progress? ;_;

[indigo falcon]

do you have options->network->multiplayer disabled? (I hope)

[magic elbow]

idk ill check in a bit, imma go have a quick shower

[indigo falcon]

k

[magic elbow]

i didnt have that disabled, why is that mportant~?

[indigo falcon]

could be that you have some stuff cached that's messing up your saved

saves

try this: turn that off, warp to another space station, save there, exit game, reload, then see if you can save on a planet (you might need to wait 2 minutes if it does black out)

[magic elbow]

turning mp off worked btw

[indigo falcon]

oh that's great

[remote thunder]

now whenever i try landig on a planet the game freezes

flashbacks

ours never crashed game clients though

(it's updating his save file with all the other bases and stuff)

[indigo falcon]

"You have learned the Vy'keen word for 'deleting'" (not actually a joke, just fun timing)

[craggy hemlock]

has any expedition repeated yet or? ive been out of the loop

[lofty patrol]

does getting all of the expedition rewards take awhile?

[craggy hemlock]

oh god dammit first objective caused exe crash lol

[glass solstice]

The worst it could be is like what? 13h for me lol

[craggy hemlock]

i think the thing im gonna struggle with is the multitook thingy cuz no twitch drops i have

[lofty patrol]

I literally just bought the game yesterday so I have no clue what im doing, but the expedition seems fun

[glass solstice]

You'll get more upgrades in the form of memory fragment

[craggy hemlock]

also i forget how long intro cinematic is e_e

[glass solstice]

Well, good luck lol, the expedition is a bit rogue like kinda stuff, try to be careful while playing

[indigo falcon]

read the pinned stuff in here, anyone who hasn't played this expedition through yet

[glass solstice]

Oh shit I forgot @craggy hemlock @lofty patrol you two may wanna read pins in this channel, lots of helpful stuff

[craggy hemlock]

wait the sentinel expedition is still running? i have a save that hasnt been converted yet lol

what the

[glass solstice]

Weird

[craggy hemlock]

what the f lol

it didnt even prompt me to convert

lol

[indigo falcon]

the first time you log into an expedition save after the expedition has ended, that's when it will ask you if you want to convert it

[glass solstice]

[glass solstice]

So it will basically convert to the next expedition?

[remote thunder]

no

[indigo falcon]

no

it will convrt in all cases but exped 7, to a normal mode save

expd 7 will convert to a survival mode save

[craggy hemlock]

just realized i should have scrapped the modules

[glass solstice]

Oh

Cool, I’ll just gonna delete mine

[craggy hemlock]

oh my god, read i installed hyperdrive so now i cant install the premade one

uuuuh the space station only has 1 gek?

nevermind

[indigo falcon]

just visit a few, it will all work out

[craggy hemlock]

i geniounly wonder if i can still get the sentinel rwewards from that sentinel expedition save that hasnt been converted for whatever reason

[indigo falcon]

by continuing? I think it will refuse

[craggy hemlock]

it didnt give me a prompt to convert soooo lol

hence my confusion

[indigo falcon]

does it still have the save marked as community expedition? is there still an expedition tab??

[craggy hemlock]

aye and aye

idk why

[indigo falcon]

huh

[craggy hemlock]

or wait lemme actually recheck if it had an expedition tab

[indigo falcon]

do you really have uncompleted milestones??

[craggy hemlock]

yes

lol

lemme grab screenies

aaaaand great softlocked my ship i think

[indigo falcon]

well heck choose a phase where you really want the rewards and see if it...

ugh

[craggy hemlock]

wellp shit now i cant save lol

[indigo falcon]

d'oh!

[craggy hemlock]

uno

the bottom one is sentinel

dos

@indigo falcon

did they change how it works cuz im lost lol

this is proooobably a bug i suspect lol

or maybe not? idk if complete grey signs is "unobtainable"?

[indigo falcon]

can you click on one and have it show you stuff in the mission log?

[craggy hemlock]

aye

i am so lost why this one still works

lol

i specifically dont remember this bein mentioned lol

[indigo falcon]

I mean

maybe you should try to play it a little 😄

[craggy hemlock]

yep seems like it once i finish the leviathan one

im just shocked lol

[indigo falcon]

for real

[craggy hemlock]

guess i gotta do anomally missions cuz i had the bright idea to install and consume most modules

[ashen shore]

Still wondering if that Optional Milestones label visible in previous expeditions

Means that HG hardcoded it with intent of having optional objectives in later expeditions

[craggy hemlock]

idk tbh i just opened the game and spotted it

[ashen shore]

Or that being just an oversight

[craggy hemlock]

i should proooobably bug report this if im legit still able to do it

i may have f-ed myself over installing those modules -_-

[indigo falcon]

uh ohes

[craggy hemlock]

cuz prepackages ones cant be sold sadly

[indigo falcon]

prepackage what can't be sold, sorry?

[craggy hemlock]

dis?

or wait wrong vendor

[indigo falcon]

you can absolutely can sell those. for yummy yummy nanites

[craggy hemlock]

i tried selling it to a pirate merchant lol

[indigo falcon]

oh 😄

[craggy hemlock]

oh god dammit too many sturctures in anchorpoint 1 i cant find the portaL

[indigo falcon]

the planetary coords to it are pinned in here

just navigate by ship straight to it (or on foot if you prefer)

[limber shard]

Time to redo the whole expedition again

[indigo falcon]

welcome back

[limber shard]

Hello-
This time I didn't want to feel the immense pain I felt last time, so I edited my save a bit, to not die as... easily
It feels like cheating, but I really want to finish it before it ends and also I'm not here to suffer, I'm here to collect-

[indigo falcon]

you don't have to justify any of that to anybody

as long as you know it makes the game more enjoyable for you, that's literally the only thing that counts

[limber shard]

True

[steel pagoda]

You can do it. I did yesterday. Just be catious and defensive. And ||craft your own memories if the tech rolls are bad||

[glass solstice]

This place is very chill after all, right aper?

[indigo falcon]

yes it is. sometimes we get off track but not for long.

[glass solstice]

Good enough anyway lol

[indigo falcon]

welcome back Wampguyn. going for the last two milestones later?

[steel pagoda]

I think I go through 2-5 essentials in 4 hours last night not including phase 1

[steel pagoda]

Probably after sunset. I might try it now once I make coffee. I can be blind at my computer ||with perma off||

I just woke up lol.

[indigo falcon]

the game will still be there later this evening 😄

[steel pagoda]

I do need to put a third coat of paint down in my bathroom and order colors and shop light bulbs.
But expeditions are a priority for everyone.

Priorities.

First thing I setup at the new house was my gaming PC. Now I wish I had blinds for NMS the planets get so dark at night.

I'm just ok to risk it now I think lol.

Debating if i do storm crystals first or head to F8

[indigo falcon]

storm crystals is easy

what is F8?

[steel pagoda]

The water gek system whatever for contraband

[indigo falcon]

oh gotcha

[steel pagoda]

I'll probably do the crystals first. Gives me an excuse to setup a base with my minotaur and use the tech I stockpiled for him

[indigo falcon]

might as well

it's abursdly easy as long as you don't run out of material to charge it with

[steel pagoda]

I have 3 inventory slots full of exo tech from milestones

[median ember]

I prefer my ball 🤣

[indigo falcon]

also works!

[steel pagoda]

Eh i've done storm crystals a lot over the years now lol

[median ember]

Thats the beauty

[indigo falcon]

I have literally never even once used the minotaur to retrieve storm crystals until this expd 😛

[steel pagoda]

You didn't do the toxic planet?

[indigo falcon]

I did

[steel pagoda]

I usually fly in my ship for crystals. On my main that's the squid

[indigo falcon]

and I also put the minotaur down out of an abundance of caution

[steel pagoda]

But I did a lot of storm crystals with the minotaur for expedition 3

I hated that thing tho

[indigo falcon]

I usually on my main save just run out there with no protection and jet pack around

[steel pagoda]

Your poor left hand

I threw everything in freighter cargo as discussed also.

[indigo falcon]

ah good

lots of room in yer suit that way

[median ember]

I don't use anything i just get near and pluck em

[indigo falcon]

yep, that's the most fun

but I'm in normal mode for that, not at all ashamed to take extra precautions for this

[steel pagoda]

Like a turkey tailfeather?

[median ember]

I landed near a cluster of storm crystals...there were 7 close by

[median ember]

Bring out my ball n vrooom

Scoot around ...get em alongwith some metal... fingers

[steel pagoda]

They can be spread out sometimes.

The starter planet has metal fingers.

[indigo falcon]

ennect has curious deposits I think

not the most helpful with the small stack sizes of survival mode though

[steel pagoda]

My mind goes to the gutter when I see them

[craggy hemlock]

HOW LONG HAVE the people making bases in anchor 2 extended

[steel pagoda]

Doh. My coffee hasn't kicked in. I called in the minotaur only to realize I left all the tech in a freighter cargo pod

[craggy hemlock]

i can literally not build anywhere ._.

[indigo falcon]

go a few minutes out by ship

[distant knot]

Where's best place to get those eggs or whatever? I have decent mods on but still get lit up by those crawler things. So annoying.

[craggy hemlock]

bandonned scoemce sites

about 12 ish if i remember

[steel pagoda]

@indigo falcon remember how I spent over an hour first run on the freighter refinjng purple slime? Lmao. I'm about to do a good chunk of refining again. I ran out of ferrite to craft a minotaur on the crystal planet. Doing all my rusted metal. Keeping the slime on my hauler though

[indigo falcon]

could just... buy some 😛

[steel pagoda]

Lol

Nah. I keep a hauler of mats for a reason. And the rusted metal adds up

It's faster than the slime was. 3 minute intervals per 250. Not 6 minute.

While I wait I decided to craft the posters. I've never used them before.

[indigo falcon]

oh cool

[steel pagoda]

Oh and almost forgot to check the mission I sent the Normandy on

[glass solstice]

You build a wall surrounding them, those bio horrors will just phase through it

[distant knot]

Hmm thnx I'll try to find a video on it. I'm scared to die lol

[steel pagoda]

The wall trick hasn't worked for me. It's not perfect. If I find a base someone else did with walls I'll use it.

[glass solstice]

Or you can be like me, get some jetpack mods then build some high platform

[steel pagoda]

I usually just grab 2 eggs at a time and hide in the building until they despawn

[glass solstice]

Then just get the hell up lmao

[distant knot]

How long til they despawn? I know I've waited around 10 min and they never went away before.

[indigo falcon]

they do

don't shoot them, just stay out of reach and eventually there's a message "swarm subsiding"

you need to wait a little bit after that for them to actually be gone

[distant knot]

Alright I might try making a long tunnel to get away or something

[glass solstice]

Do you need some help?

I can just go kamikaze on them lmao

[steel pagoda]

Should I claim ||the leviathan|| now? Or is it buggy until the save file transfers over?

[indigo falcon]

you can't, it's the end of expd reward

[steel pagoda]

If that happens try a manual save and reload

[indigo falcon]

need all 5 phases done for that

[steel pagoda]

Oh right I forgot lmao

[distant knot]

Thanks but I'll just try it lol. I'm not on right now anyways. Was about to get some lunch and then try it. 😬

[steel pagoda]

I'm not used to doing this so out of order.

[indigo falcon]

how's that refining? 😛

[glass solstice]

Alright, good luck with it

[distant knot]

Are we allowed to ask if the resource duping is still a thing? Would be nice to get a teleporter for base but I'm not about to farm 100 of those things

[distant knot]

Thanks.

[steel pagoda]

Sloe. I sent the normandy back out while I wait.

Oh that misson got me a frigate salvaged module. Do I use it at a freighter terminal?

Yea i have like 1k gold on my ship. Just needed the 5 metal plates.

[indigo falcon]

you do, when you have a freighter you want to upgrade

probably not the free one since it has no tech and is a C class

of all the luck, I send out 5 missions a day, one week later (35 missions) not 1 salv frigate module

you send out one steeeeenkin frigate and get the module 😛

[steel pagoda]

It says it's for frigates though.

But yea true.

[indigo falcon]

no it says it came from frigates

😛

[steel pagoda]

Regular freighter storage is safe on survival mode?

[indigo falcon]

should be uh huh

[steel pagoda]

Oh yea i misread that one lol. I haven't used one in like a year

It never gave me the portable refinery this run either

[indigo falcon]

5 metal plates is like 125 rusted metal innit

*personal refiner

that's tedious. although if they'd have left the medium refiner unlocked at normal prices I would not have cared at all that I got it very late myself

[craggy hemlock]

SHIT why did i interact with second point before summoning ship

and died....

[indigo falcon]

ah nooooooooo

[steel pagoda]

Yea well I don't do it halfway. If I refine something, I refine all of it.

[craggy hemlock]

if i have to redo eveeeeerything....

[indigo falcon]

see "persistence after death" pin in here to see what is retained

[craggy hemlock]

'yeeeep that was a solid 4h wasted

[indigo falcon]

did you put any bases down anywhere?

[steel pagoda]

I bought the portable on the nexus. It stinks to waste nanites on hazmat gauntlets when I already had them installed

[craggy hemlock]

only on second point

xd

[indigo falcon]

that's one part of the journey that will be shorter

[steel pagoda]

Do the first point this time. And read the pins

[craggy hemlock]

it was mainly an issue of me triggering the sentinels and didnt realize i couldnt recharge my shields

sooo ye massively overwielmed

[steel pagoda]

Yea, I've learned half the perma is about being self aware of your shields and systems. And playing cautious

[craggy hemlock]

not gonna lie chief i dunno if i wanna do that another 4h straight to then f up again

[steel pagoda]

I died after clearing 1-4 and was 2 milestones left in 5. I died on the repsawn also. Than took 2 days off and came back to it.

@indigo falcon ||the dreadful wailing|| is still in my inventory. I thought I completed it already.

[indigo falcon]

it's left over

it's not a consumable

[steel pagoda]

Ah ok. So it goes in cargo than

[indigo falcon]

yeah or the freighter

[steel pagoda]

I meant the freighter pod where I stored the rest

I was just about to land on the planet when pirates attacked. Bastards.

Lowest to the ground battle yet.

[indigo falcon]

they really are scumbags aren't they

[steel pagoda]

Don't think I've had a single trip from planet to station yet without pirates

[limber shard]

How many items do you think I can stack in one stack in a normal save, for the Ancestral Memories and the Somnal Dust? o:

Because right now it seems to be 500 per stack in my suit cargo

Nevermind, seems to be 1k in the ship cargo

[steel pagoda]

Stack is higher on Normal

[limber shard]

I see, neat

Do you have an idea of the exact number?

To know how many I can save, and give the rest to Polo

[indigo falcon]

well this save converts to survival, not to normal mode

[limber shard]

Wait really??

[indigo falcon]

yep

[limber shard]

Fucking hell

So I can't transfer those items to my main normal save is what you're saying?

[indigo falcon]

I don't see how you would, no

[limber shard]

uhhhhh

I didn't want to save edit my main save but guess I'll have to..

So I can transfer the exact number of items I got during the expedition..

[steel pagoda]

So for tech it was mostly exo I had. Except I got the minotaur hooked up with the AI again and a radar array and an S for the engine and a cannon with an S

Didn't get shields for him. He doesn't need them like an exocraft?

[indigo falcon]

not environmental ones

built in already

[steel pagoda]

Ah ok

[indigo falcon]

that's what makes it so easy for storm crystals

hop in, fly over, don't stomp on the crystals, pick them up from right inside, off to the next ones

[steel pagoda]

A storm ended as I built my base.

[indigo falcon]

eh another one will be along

[steel pagoda]

Yea it took a bit. But incoming now.

Lmao. My jump landed this beast right on top of a crysral crushing it

[indigo falcon]

what did I just say 😛

oh well plenty of other fish in the sea

[steel pagoda]

TLDR 😋

I just got my 5th before the storm cleared

[indigo falcon]

yay!

[steel pagoda]

I found an observatory also

[indigo falcon]

you uh

saved your game right? 😛

[steel pagoda]

Not yet lol

Ewww my third geology cannon

[indigo falcon]

😄

[steel pagoda]

Game can't take the hint

I'll give it away free to anyone who wants one.

Who wants to run their expedition on hardmode?

Get yourself a geo cannon and a plasma grenade launcher

[indigo falcon]

I guess some players must use them or they would be removed from the game

hmm no

the biofuel reactor is still in there 😛

[steel pagoda]

Oh I deff use plasma on normal. Not the geo

Took me a week to get used to not blowing myself up anymore.

I'm good now.

I don't have clearance granted 😞 i got a backup plan

Love when the atlas takes over my warp path when i'm searching for a specific planet

Are colonies in an outlaw system any good?

I assume they're all the same

Eww gave me the colony quest on an agressive planet.

[glass solstice]

[steel pagoda]

All done. Hot pursuit complete.

[wraith venture]

[steel pagoda]

Guess if I'm ever gonna keep and use a survival mode play, this one is it.

Oh good it's an S frigate too

[nimble token]

Survival is pretty good. Been my main save since survival was released

[steel pagoda]

My main save rarely dies anymore. So the inventory loss is minor. It's the inventory max capacity difference I notice.

[wraith venture]

aww survival's fun. i'd keep it if i was you. if you ever wanna join another player in that mode or help them out, you'll at least have it. survival i don't think is that much of a pain tbh. what you experienced with this expo is the "roguelike" dealio which was the hardest part. you don't deal with any of that in survival and you have both saves auto and manual you can revert back to. when you get enough upgrades on your exosuit it's a lot harder to die anyway

[nimble token]

Yeah can make it a little more grindy

[steel pagoda]

I keep all my expedition saves lol

The constant pirates was the most tedious honestly.

And the randomization of tech

[nimble token]

I just fly away from pilots

[wraith venture]

yeah, the inventory space takes time to get used to. but once you have all your inventory space maxed out across exosuit, starship and also freighter, along with the freighter rooms, you'll have plenty of space. so it's not as big a pain as it is when starting out

[steel pagoda]

Oh and Apparently I hate the rocket boots tech lmao

Drives me nuts.

[steel pagoda]

I sort of cheat and take the ship right to the nexus for my twitch ships for storage soon as it's fixed.

[wraith venture]

@remote thunder so i'm getting to confirm time and time again that the memory fragments that turn into grey Installable Technology Packages result in B or C class tech. I have to keep re-rolling for those packages to be S-class instead so i can get S-class tech instead. Doing a new expo save and yeah, same dealio as with the last one.

[wraith venture]

same

[steel pagoda]

The main thing is I can't grow my cobalt as far and keep on a single ship

[steel pagoda]

Shouldn't they all be S or X with optional milestones?

I believe I get all S and X on the last few milestones

[wraith venture]

you'd think. but i'm def not experiencing that with the memory fragments. i'm not assured s or x tech. i'm getting c, b and a. i have to keep re-rolling it to get s-class for things like hazard protection

[steel pagoda]

Would a death help? 🙃

I'm not the expert.

[wraith venture]

nah, cuz i already died. i always do an instant death right after i start a save.

[steel pagoda]

I got 3 S hazard in a row.

[wraith venture]

i'm assuming it's either RNG. or it's a bug.

[steel pagoda]

Maybe

[wraith venture]

since i re-roll a lot, i get to see what's going on.

i don't settle for the bs tech i don't want.

it's how i got the better weapon tech for my multitool.

after i absorb a memory fragment, if i'm not happy, i reload my save (prior to absorbption)

so i keep getting to see the tech re-roll in different classes, not just types of tech. it's so bizarre. cuz the memory fragment explicitly says x class.

[steel pagoda]

I should of offered you my 3rd geocannon before I turned it into nanites.

It's like the Oprah show. You get a geocannon!!! You get a geocannon!!! Everyone gets a geocannon!

[wraith venture]

lol

that'd be crazy to set up in this mode

[steel pagoda]

Yea I dumped all 3 of them. No way am I touching it.

They confirmed the save will convert into a survival mode?

[nimble token]

Yes

[wraith venture]

i got the scatter blaster for mine. and i got a bunch of x class upgrades for it so my multi got to 8k damage in the expo save i completed

[wraith venture]

yeah

i wish the freighter would've been S-class like the starship and multi. so i'll have to farm a red s-class venator with the save i'm keeping

[steel pagoda]

Oh yea first play throguh my solar got the scatter blaster. I kept pissing off everyone on freighter battles by accident

I got the double green laser this time around instead.

It does awesome at draining shields so I can punch a rocket at pirates

[wraith venture]

oh i meant, scatter blaster for my multi i do like the equivalent of that for the starship

[steel pagoda]

Oh

[wraith venture]

that one's pretty good. i was surprised by it

[steel pagoda]

I don't have aoe on tool or starship this time around

I got the pulse spitter instead.

It gave me X for boltcaster and pulse cannon on my tool. But I don't have either weapon yet.

[wraith venture]

Positron Ejector, had to look it up, to confirm the name of it for the starship. that i consider to be the "equivalent" of the scatter blaster for the multi.

my memory sucks with the weapon tech types. always mix them up

[steel pagoda]

Lol yea

Guess technically I had 5 deaths, But I don't really count the last oke. When the horror flung me like a pinata across a quarter of the planet.

[wraith venture]

i read about that super late

those deaths are pretty hilarious i admit. altho i'm sorry that it was during this expo

i experienced one long ago. and yeah, it's funny how they're able to fling you like that

[limber shard]

Oof, this kind of death sounds painful-

[glass solstice]

Talk about embarrassing deaths lol

I once killed myself in the expedition with either a geology cannon or a plasma explody thingy, not sure which

[wraith venture]

yeah, between that and the death from a grenade launcher inside a derelict ship. those are the two funniest deaths i've experienced (well, funny looking back). not during this expo. but when i was newer to the game and didn't know better lol

[glass solstice]

But I know that it only took one shot to kill me

[indigo falcon]

welp my belated congrats on completion, I fell asleep at the laptop, heh!

[glass solstice]

Welp sure hope you got some rest?

[indigo falcon]

yeah, probably won't be able to sleep on time tonight now 😄

[steel pagoda]

I mean I was pissed at the deaths when I was so close to being done. But at this point I can look back and laugh. We need a NMS perma meme picturebook

[steel pagoda]

Thanks

Yay

[wraith venture]

yeah, i can only imagine how frustrating that must've been.
and re: NMS perma meme picturebook. love the idea

[steel pagoda]

I jumped at the bit for the role lmao

[glass solstice]

Don’t we have some kinda channel to write stories about our expedition?

[steel pagoda]

One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead Gek got up to fight.

[wraith venture]

yes we do #expedition-logs

[indigo falcon]

yes we do, it's called #expedition-logs

[glass solstice]

I should get writing as well ||although I uh, got super low score at literature in high school||

[steel pagoda]

Lol i can help proof read. I took honors english comp in college.

[wraith venture]

you make a good point, i should write a log about this expo. being that it's my favorite. i even got teary eyed with the ending. reminded me of when i first finished the game's main storyline.

[glass solstice]

||same tho||

[steel pagoda]

The only writing I do these days is for solo tabletop rpg's. So it's creative. Which I'm learning.

I could write a log. I don't have time lol not until I am done moving into the house and my rennovation is over.

[glass solstice]

Sure lol, thanks for the offer tho

[edgy mulch]

Is there a way to buy frigate in Expeditions?

[steel pagoda]

Np

[indigo falcon]

no? I assume one would buy frigates the usual way

look around for freighters that have recruitable frigates with them

[edgy mulch]

googled it and it says something like "fly close and get on the comms"

but there arent comms

[indigo falcon]

the recruitable frigates will show up as green freighter-like icons on the HUD

[edgy mulch]

i didnt play nms for years. Playing Expedition right now. allrdy got a Freighter. Now i need more Frigates

[indigo falcon]

as you get near one, you'llget an incoming comms message from each frigate captain offering to join your fleet

[edgy mulch]

There are Fleets in System and i helped the Fleets. Never seen one of those Green Icons

[indigo falcon]

you can inspect the frigate and pay to have it join, or decline

[steel pagoda]

It's a separate hailing message in deep space when you approach with your ship

[indigo falcon]

https://www.gamerguides.com/assets/guides/259/NMS_Recruitable_Frigate.jpg here you can see the icon

three of them in that image

freighters near a planet or space station are liable to have several such

[sly pond]

0-5 Frigates available in each system, iirc economy influences how many are purchaseable.

[edgy mulch]

Never seen those Green tags

how to "inspect" them?

[indigo falcon]

when you are in the dialogue with the incoming communication, you will be given the option to inspect it

[edgy mulch]

I dont get incoming communication

[steel pagoda]

Wish I has a 10 second video clip of the horror flinging me a mile or two. Like a bucking bronco

[edgy mulch]

but i only found big fleets close to Space Station or Planet. Right when i jump into a new System

[limber shard]

Time for Anchor 4..

[steel pagoda]

That is @indigo falcon favorite

[limber shard]

This is my current bane

But I have better tech in my exosuit so it should be fine

[steel pagoda]

My trick was to fly off and use the anomaly to clear sentinal aggro

[limber shard]

Alright I found it thanks to someone's base beacon, it went fine c':

Didn't have to climb and climb down the damn cliff

[steel pagoda]

That one has save beacons thankfully

[indigo falcon]

these are fine places to get near those freighters and see if any have recruitable frigates

[steel pagoda]

Hopefully it won't put your grave in a horrible location like mine.

[limber shard]

Wait you can actually go back to your grave?

[steel pagoda]

No

I meant the memory milestone

The traveller grave site.

[limber shard]

Oh

Right..

[indigo falcon]

the "gravesite" thingie, yeah

[limber shard]

Well last time my death was due to a lack of launch fuel

This time I'm prepared

[indigo falcon]

which nominally ||is your grave from a previous pass through|| according to the story

[steel pagoda]

Mine was a terrible location on anchor point 4. Surrounded by cliffs and canyons and mountains and crap.

Dodging terrain ontop of gravitino sentinals

[thick smelt]

ok folks, im on point 5 and my visor wont change to scan mode, HALP

[indigo falcon]

trying to get to anchor point 5 (portal)?

[steel pagoda]

Oh it got stuck like that for me on a station. Try exiting your ship again and reloading the save

[thick smelt]

yeah heading to the portal

[thick smelt]

ill try that

[indigo falcon]

if that doesn't work out, the planetary coords for the portal are in a pin right here in the channel (along with names and glyphs for every other anchor point), you could try just navigating to them via ship

[steel pagoda]

Yea

[edgy mulch]

Sry, wrong screen sent

Wich one is a freighter?

[sick kelp]

they yellow and red bottom right

[indigo falcon]

you want the frigates surrounding any freighter

the larger things are freighters and the smaller ones around them are frigates

[limber shard]

Welp managed to get both the anchor 4 grave AND the storm crystals, it was an extreme storm 👌

[steel pagoda]

Gz

[indigo falcon]

the storms there are extreme, yep

just to add to the charm of the place

[remote thunder]

nice place for a party

[limber shard]

Is the final anchor... really difficult? Like extreme weather or terrain? I wanna know how careful I need to be-

[indigo falcon]

I found it easier than 4, which was the worst of the lot. but still be carefl, it's perma

[limber shard]

Alright 👌

[edgy mulch]

got it @indigo falcon It was not on the Mainexpedition Line and i instantly found Frigates

dunno why. but worked

thx anyway

[thick smelt]

ok, landed on the point, summoned my exosuit and now the point WILL NOT CHANGE

it wont go away, i cant get the visor to come up

[indigo falcon]

what do you mean: are you at the coords? do you see the portal there?

[thick smelt]

no, im at the start of the point, where you land on the planet and start looking, the point is here, i summoned my suit and the point is STILL HERE, and when i open my visor its in scan not search mode

[limber shard]

Time for a little backup before anchor 5

[indigo falcon]

yeah you are likely more than 1k u away

just go via ship to the coords

+7.03, +20.67 (anchor point 5)

fly nice and slow, low, until you get there

[thick smelt]

bless

[indigo falcon]

the portal should be visible right there

that's why we have those coords in the pins, for stuff like this

[steel pagoda]

If your backed up take some miralax and watch your ship shoot it all out as you fly to the anchor point.

[limber shard]

I'm ready

[steel pagoda]

5 is normal mostly. 4 was the worst.

[limber shard]

I must say, playing NMS with the FTL ost is so good-

[thick smelt]

I MADE IT

the cords really helped

and i now have ALOT of meaty chunks, thanks exo

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo

[limber shard]

Do you keep the ||Dreadful Wailing||?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[limber shard]

Niiiice

[indigo falcon]

when you're done with phase 5 you can keep for nostalgia or toss as you like

[limber shard]

It's such a pretty item!

[indigo falcon]

it is!

do I assume you are on the third milestone in phase 5 now?

[limber shard]

I just got it, I'm getting to the memory hotspot

[indigo falcon]

oh ok.

[slender harness]

That tier 5 loop is a pain o:

[indigo falcon]

it was ok for me. oh well usual precautions etc

[slender harness]

Nah, the main community thing, not the individual missions

[indigo falcon]

oh, sorry, misread

let's see where we are

[slender harness]

75%

[indigo falcon]

yep. inching along. mgiht get done with a few days left

[slender harness]

oh good, I was worried it might not get done by the time that the event concluded

Do we still lose everything at the end of the final loop, or is it just the save converting to survival?

[indigo falcon]

that would be telling

[steel pagoda]

It was paat 80% today. Maybe 85%

[indigo falcon]

you should go through the end and experience it

[slender harness]

85% global, 75% individual tier

[steel pagoda]

Ah gotcha

[slender harness]

Yeah, just concerned about losing everything before 100% completion lmao

[indigo falcon]

I know I know 🙂

[steel pagoda]

Freighter cargo bays.

And lots of duct tape.

[slender harness]

Do they even have ducts to tape in NMS

[indigo falcon]

there are pipes so I guess there are ducts

[slender harness]

It's usually just pipes and various nanite goo stuff

[indigo falcon]

there are screws or bolts so I don't see why there wouldn't be duct tape too

[indigo falcon]

Arinyl, how's things looking?

(don't wanna ping in case it's a rough spot)

[steel pagoda]

Maybe ducks are eaten by the horrors.

They went extinct a long time ago

[indigo falcon]

mm doubt

plenty of birds around, birds being a type of dinosaur as we know, and lots of other dinosaur types in the game too

[limber shard]

Well I'm in front of the Leviathan.. Will I ||lose stuff? Or is it now that I die but nothing really disappear?||

[sick kelp]

there is one way to find out 🙂

[limber shard]

No. I already lost all progression once, not twice.

[steel pagoda]

When you ||finish all phase 5 milestones||

||downgrades to survival mode so you will lose your general inventory every death, but keep stuff in ships and freighter||

[limber shard]

Nice I see

[steel pagoda]

And don't forget to tip @indigo falcon generously for all the pins

[topaz ginkgo]

someone wanna explore in a few minutes ?

[limber shard]

This poor dude's arms-

[sick kelp]

finally 3200 quicksilver

[limber shard]

Finally!

[remote thunder]

@indigo falcon ^

congrats @limber shard

!leviathanrole

[limber shard]

Thank you, it was a painful beginning but the end was worth it

[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.

[limber shard]

@nocturne mountain May I have the role?

[steel pagoda]

Gz

[limber shard]

Isn't Spork a moderator? o:

[steel pagoda]

@wraith venture

[remote thunder]

oh yeah

LOl

mb

[steel pagoda]

Another victim

[remote thunder]

oh, it's Spirit

[steel pagoda]

Ah ok i missed that

[remote thunder]

Spork..

lol

[steel pagoda]

Lol

[limber shard]

I have suffered, they will suffer with me

[steel pagoda]

I'm just used to red in this channel

[remote thunder]

any of them will do

might take a little bit

but all good,proof has been submitted

[steel pagoda]

Yeap

[limber shard]

I already have the role, they are fast

Can't wait to add the frigate to my main save

It's such a cool design, and it's genuinely a very good frigate!

[steel pagoda]

You haven't?

I'm just waiting for the Normandy to come back from a misson so I can send the new one out with it.

[remote thunder]

cool design and invincible too, afaik

(just like normandy)

[limber shard]

Wait, frigates can be destroyed?

[remote thunder]

sure

[steel pagoda]

Yea

[limber shard]

Oooh right, they come back with repair needed

[steel pagoda]

It's an S. I think the special expedition ones are safe.

[remote thunder]

ignore the repairs, and they will eventually get destroyed

[remote thunder]

can't land on them to repair

hence

[steel pagoda]

Yea

[sick kelp]

ave yet to play my main save as well. have stayed on the expedition one and waiting to see when i'll die on it lol

game has been trying to kill my ship by stopping my pulse drive inside frigates and freighters

[limber shard]

Here's my final loot btw

I'm gonna farm more ancestral memories and somnal dusts tho

I want moar

And I genuinely love doing derelicts soooo

[indigo falcon]

that's fabulous, congrats on getting through to the end!

(sorry, was doing long distannce family calls)

[limber shard]

Thanks! And don't worry ahah

[steel pagoda]

In how many languages?

[indigo falcon]

sorry?

[steel pagoda]

Nvm.

[steel pagoda]

@limber shard that is a big haul of loot buddy.

[limber shard]

Thank youu, pretty proud of it

Still a bit mad that I will not be able to transfer it the "non-cheaty" way to my main save, but oh well..

Not that it's cheating since everyone plays how they want to, but yeah I didn't know the exp save turned into a survival and not a normal one

Also the temporal ship trail goes very well with living ships!

[steel pagoda]

That's why we keep the expedition saves.

But eventually you can get the frigate on your normal main save off the nexus

Not sure if this ship trail will be nexus available. I have other ones from previous expeditions. Like I'm using the chromatic on this expedition

[limber shard]

Yeah the frigate I just got on my main save, as well as the other big rewards
But yeah... I want the memory resonator, the whalesong flute, those things c':

[steel pagoda]

Ah gotcha.

[limber shard]

Decal added to the expedition corridor

[indigo falcon]

love the greenery!

[limber shard]

Thank you!

Here's the other part, which wasn't very visible

[steel pagoda]

I have like zero light on the freighter to see my posters. But yea I'll want to trade up the freighter when this ends.

[supple radish]

Completed the expedition for the second time, this time in just over 9 hours. Since I usually play in Survival mode, I think this will be my new main save once the expedition ends and prices hopefully go back to normal.

[safe fog]

Done! My first expedition!

That was fun.

[steel pagoda]

!leviathanrole

[unkempt kraken]

[safe fog]

<@&590975379678953522>

[sick kelp]

i think i've turned this expedition into my main save and it's gonna suck sooo much when i finally die lol

[safe fog]

Heh. What happens to Expedition saves after it's over?

[sick kelp]

think this one is turned into survival

[steel pagoda]

Yea

The other ones rolled over to normal saves.

[safe fog]

Oh okay. This mode was very engaging and fun. It'd be nice to see it rolled into some kinda evergreen mode.

[pulsar rose]

is there any way to get free Emergency Broadcast Receiver?

dont really want to spend 5 mil

[indigo falcon]

you get one free as a reward for a milestone

[pulsar rose]

which one

[indigo falcon]

Bounds Testing (phase 1)

[sick kelp]

and i believe you get them for turning in somnal dust

i have a ton of them so got them from one of the repeat turn ins so i can give ya some if youw ant

[pulsar rose]

that phase requires to go to derelict freighter first no?

[sick kelp]

where you get the dust yes

[pulsar rose]

okay right i have 2 out of 3 things polo requested so imma turn them in

[indigo falcon]

phase 1 does not require any derelicts

there is only one derelict you need to do, and you won't have to use a receiver unless you leave partway through

[pulsar rose]

oh okay thanks

[steel pagoda]

Also do ||turn ins to polo for more||

You could arguably stockpile for after the expedition ends.

Who wouldn't want to spend several hours refining slime on their freighter? @indigo falcon 🙃

[indigo falcon]

stockpiling those free erbs is good though

say you need 30 for getting cargo bulkheads, another 30-40 for upgrades

[steel pagoda]

Yea

[indigo falcon]

you could do some runs and turnins to Polo to gather that many, stash them for when you get a decent freighter

[steel pagoda]

I'm just a slime hoarder

But those turrets and drones.. pick other systems

[indigo falcon]

there's a google spreadsheet of derelicts, what hostiles they have, what class upgrades they give, how many rooms

very very handy

[steel pagoda]

Ah didn't know that.

Those inventorg for freighters are good early on

I might do some polo runs tonight than. Help the community goal

I kinda owe the community I mean

[indigo falcon]

I just linked the doc in the -help channel, the question came up there

[pulsar rose]

stuff from expeditions stays after it ends?

[indigo falcon]

yes

now whether it continues to work as expected (creating memory fragments)

who knows

I am guessing not

[steel pagoda]

Yea I doubt it

So store a few for your memory

And somnal dust

[indigo falcon]

I would say, any memory fragments you want to get, do it before the expedition ends

and install them

[steel pagoda]

Before they become a memory

Too on the nose?

[indigo falcon]

because there is no "groan" emoji 😛

I couldn't help it

[sudden aspen]

Can you get the personal refinery in the expedition save?

getting sick of dropping portable ones

[steel pagoda]

I had to get it off the nexus. But it's a rare chance from memory fragments apparently.

[sudden aspen]

I thought nexus upgrades were locked?

[indigo falcon]

yes you can, if the prng divinities like you that day

many are locked, yes

[steel pagoda]

It costs nanites on nexus

Not sure which are locked.

[sudden aspen]

kk I'll check

[steel pagoda]

I looked after I finished it

[indigo falcon]

the exosuit upgrades are not memory locked, just pricey

multitool and starship ones are another story

[sudden aspen]

oh yeah they really are

screw that

[indigo falcon]

lolol

[sudden aspen]

800 for the gauntlet and atlas knows how much for the actual refinery

[steel pagoda]

Yea

[indigo falcon]

10x usual price

[steel pagoda]

I had a gauntlet installed from the memory. Yet I put nanites into the tech to get to the refinery lol

[indigo falcon]

usual price is 360 nanites

[steel pagoda]

Survival mode thing?

[indigo falcon]

nopw

all prices on the expedition are 10-fold remember

[steel pagoda]

Ok

[indigo falcon]

to discourage people from using stuff other than the memory fragments

[steel pagoda]

Well it worked in this case lol

[urban violet]

I died like 8 hours in, do I really have to redo all previous iteration objectives or can I just skip to the iteration I was working on?

[indigo falcon]

almost all milestones will be lost. see the pin in here "persistence after death" to understand what remains and what doesn't

[steel pagoda]

Read the pins. It'll help

[urban violet]

Hahah WOW that sucks

[indigo falcon]

there are ways you can plan so that a second pass takes less time

[sick kelp]

i really want a loadout of % of how people died just to see how many were due to "gravity"

[urban violet]

Actual pain

[sudden aspen]

oof 8 hours?

I died like 3 hours ion

and now Im backing up every 30 mins lmfao

[steel pagoda]

I would of said to do the death milestone first so it's out of the way. But you covered it

[urban violet]

Yeah I got caught up in a tornado I couldn't escape and died

[steel pagoda]

I think I was like 12 hours in. Cuz I was down to my last 2 milestones in phase 5.

[urban violet]

Owch

[sudden aspen]

yeah Im doing backups now lol

[urban violet]

Is there any way to escape tornados?

[indigo falcon]

be in your ship

[sudden aspen]

I hear digging a hole and jumping in it helps

[indigo falcon]

if you are already well underground when it hits (not an opening where the wind can suck you out) that's another option

[urban violet]

So once your in a tornado there is no way out, is what I'm getting from this?

[indigo falcon]

you need to save your jet pack for the end

[urban violet]

I see

[indigo falcon]

you're going to want to panic and use it sooner. don't

[sudden aspen]

yeah its not the wind that kills you

its the fall

[steel pagoda]

Like when a horror flings you

[sudden aspen]

bruh Ive been save scumming for a crashed freighter, its been like 6 times and ive gotten distress and abandoned but no freighter lol

[indigo falcon]

you need to get 6 maps

open them one at a

you know wht, read the pin 😛

there's a whole post on how to do this. I know because... I wrote it 😛

[sudden aspen]

Oh nope

found it

save scumming works too XD

[indigo falcon]

yep but slower

[sudden aspen]

true

[steel pagoda]

Also ||several bases on the way|| have it covered

[sudden aspen]

[steel pagoda]

[indigo falcon]

9 hours
2 deaths (first iteration)

[sour sinew]

anyone wanna help me speed run the expedition

[bright grotto]

Only 2 deaths! (The required ones)
This was my first expedition and my first time really going in depth with No Man's Sky! I had a lot of fun. 🥺

[sudden aspen]

You need to die TWICE?

[glass solstice]

I mean, yeah, if you count the end of the expedition

[bright grotto]

Well there is the one at the beginning to leave the starting planet, and then the one to ||"end the loop" and convert the save to a survival||

[sudden aspen]

ah

huh didn't know that

not there yet lol

ty

[glass solstice]

You might wanna spoiler tag that

[steel pagoda]

Well that would put me at 6 deaths than technically

[glass solstice]

You can do it tho

Mine would be 3
