you can I think get it now if you do the hop

deft phoenix
#

I park all of my saves besides my main Normal one cuz I have put so many hours into it. I just keep them around in case I decide maybe one day to use the other saves

dense basin
#

You're now used to playing in perma mode - may as well run a quick perma core jump 😄

indigo falcon
#

"used to": I am now used to hating playing in survival-perma 😄

deft phoenix
glass solstice
#

Ayo what

#

It’s good tho

#

Oh wait

cobalt shore
deft phoenix
#

The worst part is the stack sizes

glass solstice
#

No it’s not, whoops

indigo falcon
#

shouldn't bug anything out, no

#

have a spare ship and mt to switch to, move all the important suit tech to tech slots, get repair kits

#

that's about it

cobalt shore
indigo falcon
#

remember that one repair kit repairs one component of a tech

deft phoenix
#

Couldn't you just reload a manual save after making the jump, since it would only autosave the jumping part but you would get the achievement?

indigo falcon
#

so most tech = 3 components

#

so you can repair 2 and 2/3 slots of stuff

cobalt shore
#

Dupes repair kits. Nah just kidding 🤣

deft phoenix
#

I think you can get repair kits from Suspicious Packets (Goods)

indigo falcon
#

you can cheese it: have one ebr, call in a derelict, land, get the repair kits, leave. (you didn't open the door, you still have the ebr.)

#

go elsewhere. come back. summon... etc

#

some pie rat systems sell repair kits but why, when you can get them for free 😛

deft phoenix
#

I forgot they sell them too

cobalt shore
indigo falcon
#

they do not. I have my eyes open for faceium

#

for nipnip farming

#

0 faecium drops 😛

dense basin
deft phoenix
dense basin
#

also, I forgot I had repair kits and I was literally in the middle of repairing a crashed exotic, so thank you

cobalt shore
indigo falcon
#

oohh cool. model exotic?

dense basin
#

when's the last time you opened one?!?

deft phoenix
#

Even warp hypercores sometimes

cobalt shore
deft phoenix
#

I got 2 of those and a bunch of quad servos too

cobalt shore
#

I never buy them. I just get them when I kill pirates

dense basin
cobalt shore
#

I’m not wasting my units on something from which I don’t know what the contents are

indigo falcon
deft phoenix
dense basin
#

And two of the three almost always give mods, so as I said, you can convert units to nanites. It's not the most efficient way to do it, but if you're at unit cap, it doesn't matter

deft phoenix
#

Sometimes you will still get a random 'damaged' item that isn't worth anything, but even those are usually worth as much as the packet that opened into them

dense basin
#

I also got a couple walker brains that way

#

I get a lot of storm crystals, pearls, indium, that kind of thing

#

I've never had something as crap as ferrite dust

deft phoenix
#

Oh yeah, I forgot you can get Stellar Metals from them too

cobalt shore
#

I did lol

#

It can go from walker brains to ferrite dust

deft phoenix
#

I got Ferrite (and dust) from a few, but they were only a couple in a whole batch of like 50 that I opened

dense basin
#

I buy boatloads of them (and lots of hadal cores too)

indigo falcon
#

maybe I'll go to the 8 outlaw systems I've got on my main save list and buy them all up, see what the range is

cobalt shore
deft phoenix
indigo falcon
#

that would be worth taking a screenshot before/after and posting on the subreddit!

#

you want me to get suspicious packets "goods" or anything else?

deft phoenix
#

Goods are the only ones that give items. The other two only give tech mods and pre-packaged tech parts

dense basin
#

I'd be curious about the difference between difficulties

#

The mod packages sometimes give other things, but it's very rare

deft phoenix
#

Does difficulty change drop chances for that sort of stuff?

indigo falcon
#

I wouldn't expect so

dense basin
#

I don't know - I thought we might do A Science Scientist

deft phoenix
#

Science for Life!

#

Although, I feel like the phrase 'for science' is gonna be my downfall one day...I like testing things for no reason and usually end up breaking stuff

dense basin
#

I also like testing things

deft phoenix
#

But do you break them?

dense basin
#

On occasion - but I'm more the "do a science and give inarguable numbers to the devs so they can fix their stuff" kind of person

#

When I beta test, I beta test

indigo falcon
#

strictly speaking... we are all testing in production 😛

dense basin
#

lmao

deft phoenix
#

We are a test

dense basin
#

I have spent many hours in various alphas provoking "can I fall through the world" moments

deft phoenix
dense basin
#

Some of my bugs get fixed. Some don't

#

My big numbers thing that took weeks to compile did get fixed, and that was gratifying

deft phoenix
#

My favorite bug so far is the one where joining someone's group causes their freighter to disappear and they nearly die before the game auto-puts them in their ship. Just found that one yesterday when playing with my gf 😂

#

Great way to give someone a panic attack

dense basin
#

😄

#

I just don't play anything other than normal in multiplayer

deft phoenix
#

It was normal. We were just hanging out in the same system and I wanted to go onto her freighter (but it doesn't appear for me when not grouped up so I joined her) and suddenly she was falling thru space and only had like 3% of her hazard left by the time she was in her ship

fiery minnow
#

when will this expedition dissapear?

dense basin
#

Sorry - to be clear - I mean I don't play MP on anything but normal so that when buggy deaths happen it doesn't matter 😄

X class rolls can better than S class or almost C class yes?

glass solstice
#

Yeah, depends on your RNG

median ember
#

RNG?

dense basin
#

During the expedition they're almost always better than S class

#

It'll revert in 12 hours

median ember
#

😑

#

So S class stays as it is yes?

dense basin
#

yes

#

but cheap 😉

median ember
#

Yeah they revert back to normal before scalping rates 🤣

glass solstice

And more consistent

median ember

@trim dome

And two more at end

||Ending almost gave me a heart attack||

#

there we go

fringe agate
#

😄

#

Fun expedition

trim dome
#

Now that it is over I can say it was fun but during it when I died like 10 times..... not so much

#

I want a polo shirt with the Leviathan logo and a caption under that says F AP 4

fringe agate
#

Lol

#

That's where I built my base

median ember
#

||Uhhhhhhh...yeah...i think it was heart break and touching for me....the levia was with traveller... but it died during warp or due to anomaly glitch.....so levia...kept searching for the owner travelling entity... encountering other travellers in process...and....ummm...accidently killing them....and since the travelling entity and its minds were linked it started a loop...until the memories were restored||

#

||once they remembered each other and responded in correct manner...levia was able to reunite with original owner||

trim dome
#

Storylines are always impressive. They have some good writers. I just wish it was more multiplayer friendly. I would love to play with my friends but its not really a thing. So we play inferior games together

median ember
#

That's what my theory says. 🤔
||And the loop or expedition path was one which was covered by levia during the journey...and anchor point 5 being place where she was reported...SIGANL LOST or CONNECT BROKEN||

trim dome
#

I would pay 25 bucks a month for NMSOnline, the new MMO.

median ember
#

You can play with any friend.

alpine topaz
trim dome
#

Sorta. I mean you can see someone else but not really play together

median ember
indigo falcon
#

checks watch

median ember
#

Atleast not at same time.

indigo falcon
#

12 hours

#

so I'd wait until then before spending anything.

trim dome
#

I can not really explain it other than if you have played a MMO you would understand what I mean

indigo falcon
#

really glad to see you made it through!

trim dome
#

I absolutely love NMS but its not a game where you have a guild and a group of friends playing together

alpine topaz
trim dome
#

@indigo falcon I didnt think I was going to

median ember
#

Oh well nvm

alpine topaz
median ember
#

Although i also feel it should have the guild thingy .. 🤔

alpine topaz
#

it can be an isolated feeling playing it

median ember
#

Well i love that isolated feeling. 🤔

alpine topaz
#

im fine exploring on my own. but what do you guys do after the expedition?

indigo falcon
alpine topaz
#

i have not much missions left since on my Normal game i have to reach the final quest

trim dome
#

@indigo falcon ||The ending scared the bejesus out of me|| I almost broke my keyboard. Luckily I took a deep breath.

indigo falcon
#

devs really did a number on us

trim dome
#

Now I look back and just smile, but yeah. At my age you gotta be careful a heart attack dont spring up

indigo falcon
#

let's see what's here

#

ok so you'll need to enter free look and remember that uh

#

this glazom II system is apparently off to the right for you, so that should be "right" according to your orientation

#

anyways I see Cebrac up some so maybe looking more in that dir

#

@crystal citrus and sorry this is so frustrating

crystal citrus
#

its cool, just sorta a weird roadblock progress wise for this expedition and the pirate alarms are not helping

#

pirate alarms that 80% of the time are false alarms as I exit the map to see nothing but "hostile ships nearby" WHERE?

indigo falcon
#

yeah I wonder if that isn't an artifact of multiplayer (other people in your instance having the encounter, for the false alarm ones)

wraith venture
alpine topaz
#

the notice in game says save will convert to Normal Mode

#

or is this a typo ingame.

indigo falcon
#

it will convert to survival mode

#

OR in fact it will convert wrong and that's a bug (but it shouldn't, let's wait and see)

crystal citrus
#

found toympiae

indigo falcon
#

yay! whew

#

sorry it took so dang long

crystal citrus
#

thats an outlaw system?

indigo falcon
#

hey put a base down in the system Just In Case (tm)

#

just a base computer is fine

#

yes, it is and you'll see that when you get to the space station!

crystal citrus
#

it says nothing on the hover info

indigo falcon
#

who cares, just go go go

stray reef
#

phew, that was a close one!

indigo falcon
#

if you don't have an economy scanner or a conflict scanner, even with system details open you won't know if a system is regular or outlaw.

crystal citrus
#

I have the economy scanner though

indigo falcon
#

when you look at the system details for the economy, at the end of the economy description it will show "Black Market"

and a tiny tiny skull by the trade icon

#

anyways, you get to the space station yet?

good good! to smuggle you can just go out from the space station with all those goods, summon the anomaly, and teleport from there to the regular space station of your choice 🙂

so when this expedition ends, does that mean the next one immediately begins? or does it just come out when it comes out?

glass solstice

#

when it comes out it will be out

indigo falcon
#

could be a week. a month

#

we'll know when we know!

stray reef
#

i mean i know hello games is wicked fast at making stuff

glass solstice
#

Yeah, we’ll know when it happens

foggy cloak
#

Yeah

#

Srill waiting for the emoji

stray reef
#

sad that i missed the normandy

wraith venture
stray reef
#

oh yeah, forgot that that's a whole thing

#

but that means i ain't earned it

indigo falcon
#

you can save edit in these rewards but you can't rerun the past expeditions now

#

I still think hg should provide a means for people who couldn't do the expeditions to either do them later or get the rewards another way

stray reef
#

putting them in as a random bonus reward for completing nexus missions maybe?

indigo falcon
#

quicksilver shop could be possible with some delay

stray reef
#

i just hope some day we'll get to edit the looks of our ships, really give 'em some proper personal touches

indigo falcon
#

decals or accents maybe

stray reef
#

i was more thinking the way pets and exocraft work

indigo falcon
#

exocraft, it's decals

stray reef
#

modules on pets, with individual colorable sections

#

i wanna make a clown ship

indigo falcon
#

hmm might be a mod only thing

#

but a minimal cross platform mod framework would be pretty nice too

stray reef
#

definitely not getting my hopes up

#

my current ship is pretty great though

indigo falcon
#

I like my ships well enough, but more options are always better 😄

well

#

there's no grave in survival mode

#

you lose anything in general inventory

#

gone

wraith venture
#

but

#

you can make frequent manual saves

#

and reload your manual save as well

#

it's not like Permadeath where it's a one and done

crystal iris

Oh ok.
And the inventory slots are still nerfed?

anyone here working on it, if you're struggling with deaths, since there's a limited time left...

🧀 cheese / tip: if you do die, you can close your game when the death text is still showing on screen. you'd lose whatever progress you'd made since your last save. but wouldn't lose all progress.

and most importantly, with cheese or no cheese, save often. both auto and manual saves.

🧀 cheese / tip: if you do die, you can close your game when the death text is still showing on screen. you'd lose whatever progress you'd made since your last save. but wouldn't lose all progress.

  • On xbox, just click the home button, which lists the game in the guide and you can close it from there
  • On PC, hit Alt-F4
  • On PS4, press the PS button on your controller to bring up your Home screen. Press the Options button, and select Close Application
  • On PS5, press and hold the PS button to arrive at the home screen. Highlight the active game or app and press the Options button on your DualSense. This will load a sub-menu, you simply choose the option that says Close Game.

Most importantly, with cheese or no cheese, save often. both auto and manual saves.

for PS5

Seeing it follow from target planet to target planet, wondering if it was normal at first. Then encountering living ship pirates at some point. It was also very poetic (like many other NMS stories, but this one hit in a different way).

#

I liked the ending a lot.

#

and the reward is just so fucking cool

fair enough, I wasnt sure if it was on a regulated schedule sort of thing

indigo falcon

notable is that there is usually an anniversary update early in August (no guarantees though)

and there is already the Switch release set for Oct 7

#

Ok. QOTD: Can I finish the expedition today without going offline and changing my system clock?

indigo falcon
#

what do you have left?

sterile crypt
#

Loading up my save now...

#

Probably half of it

fervent umbra
#

I had two milestones left and I killed myself with the geology cannon. I was so close to finishing on PS5. I already had it done on Xbox and I was looking forward to just getting it done on PlayStation but I fucking killed myself trying to get liquid sun to call in the leviathan. I am so pissed right now.

sterile crypt
#

Oof

fervent umbra
#

Not even entirely sure what happened. I was trying to make the solar Ray size smaller and I guess I used my secondary which was apparently the geology cannon and killed myself.

#

I quit out of the game as soon as I could but it still reset me

sterile crypt
#

Yeah, about halfway to go

#

Time to get cracking

indigo falcon
#

Armchair: did you put down any bases anywhere by any chance?

#

ah dang 😦 😦

glass solstice
#

Oof

#

That sucks

fervent umbra
#

I was like maybe 20 minutes away from completing it fully and I killed myself.

indigo falcon
#

because those bases are still there and still yours

#

it would cut out all that travel 😦 😦

fervent umbra
#

Yeah and if I didn't have work today I might do it again but I didn't set down bases on anchor points four or five because I figured if I die at this point I'm not going to be able to run through it again so there's no point.

#

Even if I did have bases there it would take me more than an hour to finish it.

indigo falcon
#

right, understandable

coral raven
#

Can I do a proof of an older expedition?

glass solstice
#

Yeah, that sucks, but hey, gotta get your priorities straight right?

no. you can go self assign in the roles channel though!

I did finish on Xbox though! <@&590975379678953522> ohboy

#

well I feel a lot less sorry for you then 😛 😄 glad you got through!

#

(yeah I know, no cross save play, maybe someday they'll change that)

Oh well lmao that’s a relief

wouldn't it though

#

imagine not worrying if you have all the quicksilver items unlocked on your steam account after you decide to move off of e.g. ps4

btw, snuck in a pin with all the dates of expedition releases

indigo falcon
#

ooooohhhh

glass solstice
#

Ooh nice

wraith venture
#

since i've seen a few posts in the past in which ppl suggest that expeditions run back to back

#

which they don't

#

or haven't all, necessarily

I swear, if Red tells me to check the pins for more details, I’m putting a pin next to my name

Aaaaaaaaaah

I got it, or did I?

indigo falcon
#

yep! well done!

#

spread the good news of the pinsssss

#

now I'm gonna check all the update dates and see about 'anniversary' updates

glass solstice

One of us

#

When is the anniversary by the way?

indigo falcon
#

11 aug 2017, 24 july 2018, 14 aug 2019, 16 july 2020, 1 sept 2021

#

pretty inconclusive

#

(aug 9 2016)

topaz creek
#

kind of between july and september lol

glass solstice
#

That’s inconsistent all right

gloomy pecan
#

OMG I need like one more day,

I got covid when I was on a work trip and had to quarantine overseas for two weeks,

And by the time I got back I only had 2 days to finish this expedition. I got up at 5 AM to try to finish before work, and I died at 8AM with the first five iterations complete,
And had to leave and go to work.

glass solstice
indigo falcon
#

dang 😦 😦

#

hoping for a rerun like last year

gloomy pecan
#

Hah
I wonder if my boss would let me just take the afternoon off for this.

indigo falcon
#

"I have some.. uh.. personal... issues, is it ok if I come in tomorrow? really really sorry for the late notice" cough cough lol

#

they need to find a way to make these permanently repeatable after some point

#

we'll see what happens

gloomy pecan
#

I'm gonna call in permadeath to work

glass solstice
indigo falcon
#

I didn't even see that. nope

#

And so I get to do it again tho

<@&590975379678953522> My very first expedition since i got the game 🙂

And another one has joined the cool kids club

#

What happens to an expedition save that you didn't finish the expedition on?

abstract sapphire
#

It turns into a normal save

#

All expedition saves turn into normal saves when the event ends

minor breach
#

No

#

This one is turning into survival

#

First one to ever turn to survival

abstract sapphire
#

??

#

Really?

#

That’s not what I was told

minor breach
#

Yup

abstract sapphire
#

Cool

warm crane
#

So it's no different if you did or didn't finish the expedition

abstract sapphire
#

Wdym?

minor breach
abstract sapphire
#

If you don’t finish the expedition you won’t get whatever rewards are at the checkpoints u didn’t make it to

abstract sapphire
#

You have to start at the very beginning

minor breach
#

Not survival

#

In survival it’s just your items

abstract sapphire
#

We’re talking about the expedition

minor breach
#

Yeah

#

When you’ve finished it

abstract sapphire
#

The expedition hasn’t turned to survival yet

minor breach
#

Pretty sure when you finish all the steps you won’t loose your progress anymore

abstract sapphire
#

You do

#

I finished the expedition and killed myself and it went back to the first one

#

I had to force quit and reload the save

warm crane
#

Once the whale kills it it converts to survival mode

#

That's weird I died farming whispering eggs after the whale killed me and I respawned at the same place

#

With all my progress so far

tribal bluff
#

I still got liquid sun and somnal dust. Will they disappear when expedition ends ?

naive plume
#

How do I increase my jump range to get to the anchor points in one jump

indigo falcon
#

when the expedition ends in 5 hours

#

the next time people try to load into their save, it will prompt them to convert to a survival mode save

#

after that point, if you die, you will lsoe items in general inventory (not cargo)

#

no grave to get them back.

warm crane
#

The second system you can jump to is a pirate system. Sell some of your unneeded mods for nanites. Grab a hyperdrive upgrade there

indigo falcon
#

hope that clarifies.

indigo falcon
#

liquid sun is in the regular game in any case

tribal bluff
#

its better to trade them for mods which i can sell for nanites

warm crane
#

@indigo falcon I've never had a survival save. I was thinking about making this my main save. The normal mode doesn't offer much of a challenge

indigo falcon
#

if you like it, go for it

warm crane
#

@naive plume just check the starship upgrade vendors at each station you stop at they will probably have some c or b class you can stack to extend your jump range

naive plume

#

So I'm on the third anchor point planet and there's a storm, can I get the crystals here?

indigo falcon
#

no

#

see pins: there's a place in starter system. also anchor 4 if you can stand it

#

you want the pin "mini-faq" for location of the storm crystal place

sterile crypt
#

Then a storm hit and I took off.

#

Now I'm dead.

#

😭

indigo falcon
#

😦 😦 😦

#

extreme wind event?

sterile crypt
#

Yerp

indigo falcon
#

did you put down bases as you went?

sterile crypt
#

Like at each anchor point?

indigo falcon
#

and anywhere else useful

sterile crypt
#

Uhm

#

Well, shit, that would have been a good idea.

#

I didn't know bases stayed.

indigo falcon
#

it's in the pins here but if you weren't hanging out in here you would not have known

#

so two things

#

it's still psssible to complete this thing in the time left, there are video guides for sort of hauling *ss through this

#

second, if you've not that much time or whatever, you could try to concentrate on specific phases if there are rewards at the end of them you want

sterile crypt
#

Or I can just do what I did last time I was running late, and turn off the wifi and change the system time.

indigo falcon
#

if it works

lapis ember
#

Been grinding the whole exp for the past couple hours

median junco
#

yo so does anyone know an easy way to find a plenty with predator animals or do I just have to search every planet I find

indigo falcon

I hope it still works but I don't know

indigo falcon
#

see "mini-faq" pin in here for more

median junco
#

oo alr

indigo falcon
#

psa don't get killed by the predator, lob a creature pellet from a little ways away via the companion registry menu

what was the starting systems space station called

There's a reason why I've never played permadeath before.

indigo falcon
#

hard to argue. so I won't even attempt it

neat spruce
#

ahhhhh.. done.. now I can take a nice long break 🙂

naive plume
#

So I have to finish everything before meeting the whale

well you should finish enough to unlock the obscured milestones in phase 5

pure elm
#

Oh, oh huh

#

Apparently it'll turn into a normal save, not a survival save

minor breach
#

The devs said survival though didn’t they

indigo falcon
#

it says that but I bet that's incorrect text

#

on the web site it says survival, and anything else would be incorrect gamewise

naive plume
#

Does the leviathan kill me or can I meet it and kill the sentinels and smuggle after?

indigo falcon
#

if it does for some atlas-forsaken reason offer to convert to a normal mode save, it should be reported as a bug

indigo falcon
pure elm
#

Possibly. Although I kinda wouldn't mind it becoming a normal save

pure elm
#

It was to remove the permadeath factor, right?

indigo falcon
#

uh huh

#

at this point might as well not even put spoiler tags

#

phase 1, memory from 2,3,4, phase 5 -> now your save has normal survival mode mechanics

median ember
#

Anyone need help in expedition completion. 🤔

pure elm

Oh so all of the memories need to be done?

Or just phase 5?

Idk how to mark spoiler

indigo falcon

it's not a memory, it's a blueprint

And can I be in any sysyem

indigo falcon

yes

pure elm

Well anyhow since I still have some time left and should've remembered to get to it, I am going to try and reach the core

have a nice trip!

Thanks! I'm booking it for the heart right now

It's done

indigo falcon

get the server role, see the pins !

naive plume

Can I also get the blighted expedition one too since I did that as well?

indigo falcon
#

it's self assign, as are all the previous expeditions if you did those

dense basin
#

Would hate to have someone submit at the end and never open the save when they died x_x

pure elm
#

I am getting there - under 200k ly left!

dense basin
#

Wow, doing it the old skool way!

#

I should do that sometime

pure elm
#

I did use a portal to put myself a little closer but not too much

#

Just enough so that it doesn't take ages

dense basin
#

Black holes?

pure elm
#

Nope

#

I had no idea those even were a thing

dense basin
#

Oh, I guess that'd be close to impossible since you can't ask polo for them during the expedition || and couldn't see them on your own unless you've done the atlas path||

pure elm
#

On my adventures I have come across a literal straight vertical line of systems

#

Am under 100k ly now!

naive plume

Mod has not gotten back, so here

pure elm

Under 50k. Almost there!

Yeah, only took 5 hrs

Tbh I died two hours in and though I had to mine emeril specifically to get liquid sun

Not just any deposit

I thoroughly enjoyed this expedition…I’m using it as my new main save now…just patiently waiting for its to switch over to normal/survival mode now so I can continue playing 🖤❤️🛸

All those upgrades and stuff

This expedition was fun, but the real expedition is what I'm doing right now lol

It's tight. But I just got home so I can complete the last milestone.

I spent 5 hours in the car because of traffic.

Suppose to be a 2 1/2 hour drive from the lakehouse. But you know. Holiday and all.

hey guys
can anyone guide me to sentinel pillar rn?

would appreciate

if you beat a wave 5 sentinel fight, sentinels are disabled and a sentinel nest is revealed

i know duh

#

but I have 40 minutes till the exedtion ends

tidal cedar

ah

#

why do you need a pillar?

remote pine
#

to turn it off

tidal cedar
#

you can beat a wave 5 fight in under 30 min

assuming thats all you have left to do

Check the teleporter lists at the anchor points, several sentinel pillar bases

There!!! I clicked the button. The last inventory reward was for my starship luckily.

damn it

had 40 minutes, but game froze for 15, then I went through 5 sentinel waves and had 1 minute left to complete the black market task

#

no baby fregate for me

steel pagoda
#

Aw

remote pine
#

oh btw

#

i kinda got interested in the plot, so what happens in the last two loops?

#

well I almost finished 4th so likely nothing else

#

so my question is about the last one

dense basin
#

You get to the last anchor but your memory is stubbornly challenging to get at, so you go to space and pulse. Pulsing sends you to a derelict freighter that you explore, and it turns out that it's been destroyed by a "leviathan incident." Completing that gets you plans for the whalesong flute. When you build that and use it, it summons the leviathan. You talk to the leviathan who tells you that the loop began with you killing it. It says the loop needs to end with it killing you. You submit. You die. The save closes. You have a small heart attack. You reopen the save and find yourself on a new planet, and the loop is broken.

remote pine
#

is your progress reset and all rewards given out after that?

dense basin
#

Your progress was not reset - but there was a moment where you'd think it was - hence the heart attack. But yes, the final reward was available after that.

remote pine
#

huh, thanks

# crystal iris Ahh Ok. How do you get freighter upgrades again? Think I'll keep this Sentinel f...

The currency you use to buy blueprints is salvaged frigate modules, and those can be acquired different ways. The best one right now is re-running a particular derelict freighter and speed looting the blue chests. Frigate missions have a decent chance to bring them back, but that's only going to be once a day on average. You can dig them up at crashed freighters and you can shoot up freighters in space if you see SFM in their cargo holds.

steel pagoda
#

Eh it was ok. I'm a little burnt out by 7. I liked a previous one that was intellectually stimulating as it was very puzzly.

#

I just got salty when I died 2 milestonea from the end.

#

I think a lot of people favor their first expedition. Mine was beachead. And I remember a lot of exploration on it.

#

Milestones required you find certain types of planets. Like a toxic planet.

#

I had fun

This was my first

Had quests again, once i run out ima dip

are the X modules no longer with good stats? what's up?

I can't remember if I checked them before or after the expedition ended.

when you test, try rerolling them btw

as in, do a save before trying them out, then reload and try again. see if the class changes

cuz that's what i was having to do my entire expedition tbh lol

i kept being trolled by the game. so i just re-rolled all the tech

see if that works

Looking at inventory stacks of 9999 again on my normal save. Makes me realize how badly storage on this expedition was killing my soul with stacks of 250 500 and 1000

"new mission: powering the base, learn the biofuel reactor" No I don't think I will 😄

but you forgot that you need to do that to get to the electro in the tree

my one scanner module (X) is still fine (10k increase)

Is it 10k + 10K though?

#

Plus range

indigo falcon
#

yep 4 X modules all looking like they did, still ok

#

+9, +10

dense basin
#

I will be interested to see what happens if you log off and back on

indigo falcon
#

after the conversion? ok, can do that

dense basin
#

Yeah

#

Mine were fine after conversion and nerfed at the next logon

indigo falcon
#

did verify the base part blueprint price drop

dense basin
#

Didn't trust me? :*(

indigo falcon

trust but verify 😛

#

it's more hg I don't trust, tbh

DHarhanWulf said they had been warning people this was coming :/

one is still mostly ok, the other three lesss good

#

I didn't discard anything for them, however

#

welp. it was a nice perk for those who had it, while it lasted

dense basin
#

I don't want to talk about how many nanites I spent today

indigo falcon
#

oh, anyone got leftover memory fragments around?

#

wonder what they turn into todau

dense basin
#

I meant to save a stack but I forgot

indigo falcon
#

well I'm going to craft a memory fragment here in a minute once I get the supplies, and see what happens

steel pagoda
#

I did not keep a leftover memory 😞

cunning lagoon
granite kiln
#

ok!!

#

anyways if i dont get expedition 8 release date by this friday i will RIOT and DEMAND for reruns of all other expeditions (including 7 why not) grrr

indigo falcon
#

crafting it gives me an X fragment so there's that

cunning lagoon
#

Im willing to wait a year or 2 for a rerun of 7

indigo falcon

typical X, crap values, so that's how they discourage us from using this ability. heh

So it circles back once more kenowasabi

that should be all I need: checked upgrade and blueprint costs, verified nerf of X modules, checked functionality of making new memory fragments, checked existence of dust and memories, nothing else outstanding from these saves, right?

What I want to know is when this will get out of my log

Nonetheless, I rebuilt all my multi tools and one of my ships…the others will have to wait🖤❤️🛸🤘

In the process of doing the same, as best as I can through my tears

Expedition Aftermath

  • Now that the expedition run period is over, if you have not logged into your expedition save since it ended, the next time you log in, you will be prompted to convert it to a "standard save". After you do this and exit out to mode select, you will notice that it has become a survival mode save.
  • Your stashes of liquid sun, somnal dust and ancestral memories will still be intact, though without their special uses from the expedition. Liquid sun is useful at one point during the living ship quest, while the other two items are only good for trade or nostalgia.
  • Once your save has been converted to a survival mode save, the first time you log back into the save after closing the game fully, you will notice that any X modules you installed from memory fragments may have crap stats instead of the nice stats they had. You will want to check each one and replace as you see fit.
  • Prices for tech upgrades, tech blueprints and base parts are now back to their usual numbers instead of the 10-fold prices we saw during the expedition.
  • You can continue to craft memory fragments once you obtain the required materials, but as far as upgrades, they will produce X fragments that will generally have crap stats. They can also produce prepackaged tech modules which at least will sell for a few more nanites than the X upgrades.
  • The Leviathan server role is now avaialble by self-assignment; see the #roles channel for more.

Congrats to all who made it through, sympathies to those who didn't or couldn't, and we'll see you next time!

#

(now to get a mod to pin that for the last days of this channel until it goes away)

#

hey @wraith venture care to uh... pin that message ^^ ? 😄

dense basin
#

Do they just make X modules or do they still make the prepackaged deals too?

indigo falcon
#

I haven't tested for that, I just made one.

#

if you do the Scientist please let me know and I'll update the message

static willow
indigo falcon
#

oh! ok, what was the prepacked, out of curiosity?

static willow
#

Obviously the sample size is small, but it seems to be about the same distribution as prior.

indigo falcon
#

messaage updated accordingly! and thanks for that test

static willow
#

👍

indigo falcon
#

ty!

calm flax
#

I've got a storage container on the freighter full of random upgrades I didn't use from the just ended expedition.

#

I just started a permadeath save a little while ago and I found the space station so I can scrap the 4 crashed ships I've found.

#

something I thought was weird. I got basalt out of a damaged machinery on a radiated planet.

indigo falcon
#

that is a weird one. huh

tight bluff
#

should I convert the save or wait for the developers to fix... something? maybe a few of these are bugs/glitches? 😄

#

no idea, I didn't read everything, just read that X modules behave in a strange ways

#

like people disappearing... o.O
kidding

indigo falcon
#

I think it's intended behaviour

#

the devs don't want us walking around with superpowered saves

tight bluff
#

perfect 👌

indigo falcon
#

and they don't want us to be able to craft the best of the best X either

cobalt shore
indigo falcon
#

yeah, it was a nice expedition perk and very not nice that it was nerfed at the end

indigo falcon
#

hg could have left installed modules alone

cobalt shore
#

POOP

#

Btw. Yesterday the notification said it would convert to a normal save. Have you looked? Is it survival now?

indigo falcon
#

see the

#

hee hee hee I so wanted to do this

#

PINSSSS

cobalt shore
#

Pins

indigo falcon
#

the most recent one should have all the post-expd stuffs now

cobalt shore
#

I guess you checked it

indigo falcon
#

checked everything we could think of

cobalt shore
#

Yay

indigo falcon
#

if you run across something not in that last, poke me and I'll add it!

cobalt shore
#

The notification thingie said it would convert to normal. That must have been an error then.

indigo falcon
#

yep

#

the actual prompt says "standard save", heh

#

so they cleaned that part up at least

cobalt shore
#

Well, I did the core jump yesterday so I have the survival archivement

indigo falcon
#

oh congrats!

#

only the perma one left 😉

cobalt shore
#

Found a nice purple bubble planet with mellow storms in Hilbert which I call home now.

indigo falcon
#

ooohhh good job. I love me a purple bubble world, still using the one from emergence as home from that expd

cobalt shore
#

Well. Now it's a matter of waiting for an emoji tweet of Sean so this whole server will get batshit crazy again lol. Could be happening anywhere between a few days from now and a couple of months.

indigo falcon
#

yep.... can't wait for the hype 😄

calm flax
#

They must have nerfed the upgrades. I know a B class isn't close to the best but, I expected it to be better than 2% heat dispersion.

indigo falcon
#

which specific upgrade is that? we can check the ranges for it

hollow beacon
#

whens the next expedition tho

wraith junco
#

Maybe in few weeks , maybe in few months .

indigo falcon
#

whenever it's released 😛

#

basically everyone sits around and does scrying of the digital tea leaves:

#

has Sean sent a single emoji?

#

is there a new internal branch on steam?

#

has the game gone on sale on a few different platforms?

#

any leaks???

#

etc

granite kiln
#

oh crap yeah the game always goes on sale during expeditions

#

so if you see the game go on sale that probably means theres an expedition about to start

calm flax
#

I also found a nice looking experimental rifle. C class though

indigo falcon
#

well that's what nanites are for, if you like the look enough 🙂

pure elm
pure elm
#

Nice. I kind of procrastinated but then booked it at like... 2 and a half hours before the expedition would end

calm flax
pure elm
#

Luckily for me, I could travel for 3.5k ly each time and every full hyperdrive could offer me about 50 jumps before having to refuel

cobalt shore
pure elm
#

I only did it to put myself closer but not right at the core

calm flax
cobalt shore
pure elm
#

I wanted to make it an actual journey rather than "hello I will use this portal to get to the core"

#

It felt very satisfying

cobalt shore
#

I didn't have much time

calm flax
#

I already did it over 2 years ago. That was enough for me.

pure elm
#

That's understandable. I wanted to do it the old fashion way

cobalt shore
#

I'm a cheapskate who doesn't want to waste warp drive fuel

calm flax
#

Now I just waste my time starting and deleting permadeath saves

pure elm
#

I was initially at 900-something ly but that was way too much, so I went to a portal and popped some glyphs until I about halved the journey

calm flax
#

I've been playing one for a while now that I'm about ready to delete. I did find some nice looking cobra head diplos. I guess that's what they're called. .7 tall

pure elm
calm flax
#

need some more? I think I've got over 200 on one of my saves

pure elm
#

Nah, I don't need that many atm

#

In fact I believe I got more storm crystals stored back home or on my ship

calm flax
#

I don't even know why I have that many

pure elm
#

Does it prompt to convert to a survival save after loading in or before?

#

Ok neverming got my answer

#

I'm checking my upgrades now and it doesn't look like any of my X modules have changed?

indigo falcon
#

read the pin more carefully

wraith venture
indigo falcon
#

the 📌 📌 📌 😄

wraith venture
#

i'm so sad no one's commented on my name CS_cry_Kayo

indigo falcon
#

it's so beautiful I had no comment worthy of it!

#

(although I kind of expected it to be RedHotPins tbh 😛 :-D)

pure elm
indigo falcon
#

you exited the game fully and got back in?

pure elm
#

No

indigo falcon
#

then you didn't.... read the pin more carefully! 😛

#

Once your save has been converted to a survival mode save, the first time you log back into the save after closing the game fully, ......

pure elm
#

Oh oooooh

indigo falcon
#

maybe I'll bold that

pure elm
#

Sorry I must've skipped over that

#

I kinda slept in today xD

indigo falcon
#

heh

wraith venture
nimble token
indigo falcon
#

(fixed, hopefully that will catch people's eye more now)

wanton delta
#

Anyone else disapointed when they realized that the exp7 main reward wasn't a freighter?

calm flax
#

I don't really know what any of the rewards was except for the frigate.

azure bone
#

The expedition was crap

calm flax
#

would this be a cobra head diplo?

sly pond
#

Yep

azure bone
#

?

pure elm
#

I've seen those before

calm flax
#

.7 tall

pure elm
#

They're really nice

calm flax
#

short stuff

sly pond
#

@azure bone I had more fun with this expedition than any other lol.

pure elm
#

Also just logged back into the save to find my X upgrades have indeed regressed 😔

pure elm
#

I do wonder if it's a bug or intentional

indigo falcon
#

I think it is quite intentional

sly pond
#

Intentional, because of the way the Expedition was set up, they artificially boosted X Class rolls in it, I fully expected them to revert when it ended.

#

I know both I and roarinflames tried to warn people, but no one seemed to want to listen.
