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
You're now used to playing in perma mode - may as well run a quick perma core jump 😄
"used to": I am now used to hating playing in survival-perma 😄
My feelings exactly 😂
And it doesn’t screw everything up? I heard people got buggy issues after going to the galactic core during thr expedition.
The worst part is the stack sizes
No it’s not, whoops
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
I have like 8 repair kits so that shouldn’t be a problem haha
remember that one repair kit repairs one component of a tech
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?
I know
Dupes repair kits. Nah just kidding 🤣
I think you can get repair kits from Suspicious Packets (Goods)
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 😛
I forgot they sell them too
Most of those suspicious packages contain shit.
they do not. I have my eyes open for faceium
for nipnip farming
0 faecium drops 😛
they're a great way to convert units into nanites
I feel like they may have nerfed the drop rates for stuff cuz I usually get shit, but sometimes they still contain the good stuff
also, I forgot I had repair kits and I was literally in the middle of repairing a crashed exotic, so thank you
I usually get ferrite dust from them lol
oohh cool. model exotic?
when's the last time you opened one?!?
I get anything from that to Storm Crystals and Hypnotic Eyes and more
Even warp hypercores sometimes
Ooh wait. I just remember that during this expedition I got a Walker brain from one
I got 2 of those and a bunch of quad servos too
I never buy them. I just get them when I kill pirates
it's a yellow/gold guppy with side wings, large double thrusters and no nose
I’m not wasting my units on something from which I don’t know what the contents are
cute! worth repairing for sure
I buy all of them anytime I visit a pirate system, since they are really really cheap and usually provide stuff worth more than I spent
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
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
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
Oh yeah, I forgot you can get Stellar Metals from them too
I got Ferrite (and dust) from a few, but they were only a couple in a whole batch of like 50 that I opened
I buy boatloads of them (and lots of hadal cores too)
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
And then I’ll probably the person who buys 50 and all of them contain ferrite dust lmao
If you actually do that (and if you decide to make some sort of a list of what you get) could you share your findings with me? Cuz I'm actually curious if there's anything I have yet to get that can be obtained from them
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?
Goods are the only ones that give items. The other two only give tech mods and pre-packaged tech parts
I'd be curious about the difference between difficulties
The mod packages sometimes give other things, but it's very rare
Does difficulty change drop chances for that sort of stuff?
I wouldn't expect so
I don't know - I thought we might do A Science 
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
I also like testing things
But do you break them?
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
strictly speaking... we are all testing in production 😛
lmao
We are a test
I have spent many hours in various alphas provoking "can I fall through the world" moments
That happens to me even after Alpha and Beta. Sometimes I feel like I became some sort of Delta tester because all of my bugs happen after the game is fixed and those bugs shouldn't exist anymore
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
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
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
when will this expedition dissapear?
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 😄

ok
that's how long you have to finish up! after that, -> survival mode save
I’ll get the glyphs to get to the center of Euclid and then go!
KA-POINK! Archivement unlocked
TADA
Yeah, depends on your RNG
RNG?
During the expedition they're almost always better than S class
It'll revert in 12 hours
Yeah they revert back to normal before scalping rates 🤣
And more consistent
S class upgrade in expedition be like .... Graphics card prices when bitcoin was booming 😑
pretty much
Not sure if i can share a video....but that pretty much depicts the situation really well
Well as Long as its only a link
( use < > around the link to embed w/o preview)
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
||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||
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
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||
I would pay 25 bucks a month for NMSOnline, the new MMO.
It is cross platform...
You can play with any friend.
when it goes to survival mode, the costs of salvaged data for unlocking items still remains the same right?
Sorta. I mean you can see someone else but not really play together
I don't understand....you can play together...if you mean two ppl on same console then no.
expect that everything will go back to normal in
checks watch
Atleast not at same time.
I can not really explain it other than if you have played a MMO you would understand what I mean
really glad to see you made it through!
I absolutely love NMS but its not a game where you have a guild and a group of friends playing together
thanks ill have a look
@indigo falcon I didnt think I was going to
Isn't that what i said earlier....
Oh well nvm
its a lonely game, but with many players hahah
Although i also feel it should have the guild thingy .. 🤔
it can be an isolated feeling playing it
Well i love that isolated feeling. 🤔
im fine exploring on my own. but what do you guys do after the expedition?
I uh... had the feeling you would. but I can always be wrong. glad I wasn't! 🙂
i have not much missions left since on my Normal game i have to reach the final quest
@indigo falcon ||The ending scared the bejesus out of me|| I almost broke my keyboard. Luckily I took a deep breath.
someone here yesterday, no the day before, was convinced ||they would have to restart from the beginning again. total despair||
devs really did a number on us
Now I look back and just smile, but yeah. At my age you gotta be careful a heart attack dont spring up

want more memory fragments? better make 'em in the next 10 hours (and open them too!)
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
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?
yeah I wonder if that isn't an artifact of multiplayer (other people in your instance having the encounter, for the false alarm ones)

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)
found toympiae
thats an outlaw system?
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!
it says nothing on the hover info
who cares, just go go go
phew, that was a close one!
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.
I have the economy scanner though
when you look at the system details for the economy, at the end of the economy description it will show "Black Market"
!faq-outlawsystem
to view, enable Link Preview 
like in this image you can see 'Black Market' on the right
and a tiny tiny skull by the trade icon
anyways, you get to the space station yet?
Thanks Red!
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 🙂
if they need it for the expedition
gotta help folks get through
last day and all
I mean, it’s nice to see you helping people out and I need an excuse to send this

oic
So yeah
Lol mostly because I want to use the clap emote
so when this expedition ends, does that mean the next one immediately begins? or does it just come out when it comes out?

when it comes out it will be out
Sorta yes
i mean i know hello games is wicked fast at making stuff
Yeah, we’ll know when it happens
sad that i missed the normandy
if you're on PC you may still be able to get it via save editing or modding. can ask in the #nms-modding
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
putting them in as a random bonus reward for completing nexus missions maybe?
quicksilver shop could be possible with some delay
i just hope some day we'll get to edit the looks of our ships, really give 'em some proper personal touches
decals or accents maybe
i was more thinking the way pets and exocraft work
exocraft, it's decals
hmm might be a mod only thing
but a minimal cross platform mod framework would be pretty nice too
I like my ships well enough, but more options are always better 😄
<@&590975379678953522>
and there it is at last
Can't forget to do that!!
the screenshot I was waiting for 🙂
Lol.
I know right.
I do??
How do I see it?
check your profile
So if we die now. Everything is saved and we just have to find our Graves?
well
there's no grave in survival mode
you lose anything in general inventory
gone
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
Oh ok.
And the inventory slots are still nerfed?
250/500, yeah
that's survival for ya
but blueprint prices at least should stop sucking in a matter of hours
cross fingers

Yeah, sure hope they’re gonna make it
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.
I think I can provide my help for like a few hours before going to sleep tho
how does one close one's game? do you happen to know for a couple platforms?
Maybe press the power button on the pc
on xbox, i just click my home button, which lists the game in the guide and i can close it from there
Open it up then shut it down for real
have become an expert at closing a game quickly with silly gta glitchies 
😄
Shit nvm, my internet is messed up thanks to the heavy rain
I stayed up late last night and managed to finish the expedition. Got my whale! 😊
woo hoo!
Hold on Red, you play GTA Online or something?

(someone say it now)
I kind of like the limits. It keeps me engaged on the planet instead of buying everything. Yes, I hope the prices go down.
no one's saying it
congrats!! now get the server role if you like: see the pins in here for how!
I said it 😛
Didn't know what to type. LOL But Congrats to that Traveler!
no fair.. I don't have access to that emoji. 
This emoji is from this server. Get Nitro to use it everywhere.

that too!
but you did that 🙂
That’s why I’m using it here
hey wait...
<--- look a little one. free
.. guess that's mini me
oh, I guess I should step out and go back to #no-mans-sky for everyday typing now.
Ok, Thank you everyone for all your assistance and help!! Couldn't have done it with you.... for real!!
glad you made it!!
Thank you! 😄
I have my moments 😄
ALT F4 on PC
Or unplug your pc and throw it out the window.
My laptop has multiple Function key functions. The first time I died in the derelict freighter,I frantically hit ALT F4 and it turned Bluetooth off or something. It definitely did NOT end the game. :(
🧀 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.

@wraith venture care to pin the above?
hm ok that's interesting and not good
I have since corrected that with my laptop, but thankfully didn't die again in the freighter or anywhere else I didn't need to
ty!
👀
btw Apergos, did you wanna add info for PS? i dunno how you close games on it 
I would love to add it if I knew it 😄
people have tried to explain it to me and I just, er, didn't get it 😄
saw this for PS4:
Press the PS button on your PlayStation 4 controller to bring up your Home screen. Press the Options button, and select Close Application
who contributed that, so I can add 'em at the bottom?
for PS5
While in your game/app, 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.
not sure what the difference is between those 2
video that shows 2 different ways of closing it on PS5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS7YsSPyC9M ... second way seems easier
got usernames for the ps4 and ps5 tips?
or you found that info off site and I can attribute it to you?
video for PS4 (seems pretty similar): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5rhn44jGD0
hopefully we'll save some last minute traveller souls 
hopefully! or even better, maybe they will get through without needing the panic button 🙂

you know I gotta watch and see what happens when it hits 00 right
boooo that was anti-climactic
at least a little boom or something 😛
i should make one 
if it's easy enough, sure!
panic button?
noice
hey ping the Moderators in that same message and get the server role!!
(it's really ok to ping them, check the pins here about how to get the role if you're feeling anxious about it 🙂 )
aight
I have to say, Leviathan was my favorite expedition
I've completed every expedition aside from the milk one (5)
did you complete it?
yes 🙂
(wanna post a screenshot in here and ping the mods and get the role? see the pins on how!)
congrats then!!
please do!!
Kinda sounds like: hey kids, you want some candies?
I really like when story designers for videogames work standard game loops into the story; Dead Cells to name another game
only I'm not giving them out, heh 😄
but I really cherished this Leviathan in particular

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
Same tho, I loved the ending
<@&590975379678953522> Proof! 😁
hope the roguelite aspects get considered for a game mode of its own
We’ve got Permadeath for it tho
I think this one is like permadeath lite heheh
Just curious, when do they normally do new expeditions? The last one was my first one and it was super fun!
Yeah this is like a short term thing
they've been very frequent recently
fair enough, I wasnt sure if it was on a regulated schedule sort of thing
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?
what do you have left?
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.
Oof
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
Armchair: did you put down any bases anywhere by any chance?
<@&590975379678953522> proof
I did but I have to leave for work in like an hour so I have no chance of finishing it again.
ah dang 😦 😦
I was like maybe 20 minutes away from completing it fully and I killed myself.
because those bases are still there and still yours
it would cut out all that travel 😦 😦
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.
right, understandable
Can I do a proof of an older expedition?
Yeah, that sucks, but hey, gotta get your priorities straight right?
no. you can go self assign in the roles channel though!
I'm actually hoping that they wait a bit before the next one so I can go do something else! I finished Blighted and Leviathan started immediately after! 😆
Older expedition roles can be assigned to yourself now
thanks!
I mean, I have games I've not even started!
We all do
I did finish on Xbox though! <@&590975379678953522> 
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
That would be the dream, only having to complete an expedition once to get the rewards on every platform.
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
ooooohhhh
Ooh nice
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

(say it, please say it!)
c'mon, you gotta


we need this pins movement to spread! join ussss
yep! well done!
spread the good news of the pinsssss
now I'm gonna check all the update dates and see about 'anniversary' updates
11 aug 2017, 24 july 2018, 14 aug 2019, 16 july 2020, 1 sept 2021
pretty inconclusive
(aug 9 2016)
kind of between july and september lol
That’s inconsistent all right
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.
Oof, damn, I’m sorry to hear that
Hah
I wonder if my boss would let me just take the afternoon off for this.
"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
I'm gonna call in permadeath to work
That reminds me…||I once missed an exam on my first uni semester, I sent the prof a picture of my broken leg from months ago lmao||
I didn't even see that. nope
<@&590975379678953522> My very first expedition since i got the game 🙂
And another one has joined the cool kids club
Goodjob 👏
What happens to an expedition save that you didn't finish the expedition on?
It turns into a normal save
All expedition saves turn into normal saves when the event ends
Yup
Cool
So it's no different if you did or didn't finish the expedition
Wdym?
When you finish dying will get rid of your inventory not your progress
If you don’t finish the expedition you won’t get whatever rewards are at the checkpoints u didn’t make it to
It gets rid of your progress to
You have to start at the very beginning
We’re talking about the expedition
The expedition hasn’t turned to survival yet
Pretty sure when you finish all the steps you won’t loose your progress anymore
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
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
I still got liquid sun and somnal dust. Will they disappear when expedition ends ?
How do I increase my jump range to get to the anchor points in one jump
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.
The second system you can jump to is a pirate system. Sell some of your unneeded mods for nanites. Grab a hyperdrive upgrade there
hope that clarifies.
Still don't have enough tho
no, if past expeditions are any guide you'll keep both
liquid sun is in the regular game in any case
its better to trade them for mods which i can sell for nanites
@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
if you like it, go for it
@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 you can try and report their base and it should despawn the base
if you are completely below the floor and there's no exit you'll have to report it via the quick menu
Ok
I've done this: 8 outlaw systems, selling from 2 to 8 suspicious packets. total: 46. Screenshots following.
I've included screens of the individual items in some cases where the picture would not make clear what it was (trade goods).
Note that the two geodes are actually different, one was cobalt and one was ferrite dust.
TOO SOON ;_;
I know 😦
ouch less than 5 hours 

hope everyone makes it
don't forget peeps, save often, auto and manual. and most importantly, Read The Pins
for expo tips
So I'm on the third anchor point planet and there's a storm, can I get the crystals here?
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
I was wondering what you meant.
Then a storm hit and I took off.
Now I'm dead.
😭
Yerp
did you put down bases as you went?
Like at each anchor point?
and anywhere else useful
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
Or I can just do what I did last time I was running late, and turn off the wifi and change the system time.
if it works
i forgot that worked
Been grinding the whole exp for the past couple hours
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
I hope it still works but I don't know
starting planet
see "mini-faq" pin in here for more
oo alr
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
see pins, there's one with all the system names
Rowland desk
the pin is the one with all the glyphs and stuff in it
#nms-expedition message this one
I can't speak to changing it after the expedition has ended, but if you go offline and change your system time to a day earlier, it should work.
Just super frustrating
There's a reason why I've never played permadeath before.
hard to argue. so I won't even attempt it
ahhhhh.. done.. now I can take a nice long break 🙂
So I have to finish everything before meeting the whale
well you should finish enough to unlock the obscured milestones in phase 5
phase 1, the first milestones in phase 5, certainly

The devs said survival though didn’t they
it says that but I bet that's incorrect text
on the web site it says survival, and anything else would be incorrect gamewise
Does the leviathan kill me or can I meet it and kill the sentinels and smuggle after?
if it does for some atlas-forsaken reason offer to convert to a normal mode save, it should be reported as a bug
||you can do other milestones after||
Possibly. Although I kinda wouldn't mind it becoming a normal save
And I finally understand why people kept suggesting to complete phase 5 first lol
It was to remove the permadeath factor, right?
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
Anyone need help in expedition completion. 🤔
So I just did the derelict freighter and where are the plans? Like I got the milestone but is it a memory?
Idk how to mark spoiler
claim rewards
Thx
it's not a memory, it's a blueprint
And can I be in any sysyem
yes
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
🤔
get the server role, see the pins !
Can I also get the blighted expedition one too since I did that as well?
#roles for that one
it's self assign, as are all the previous expeditions if you did those
At this point probably better not to put spoiler tags!
Would hate to have someone submit at the end and never open the save when they died x_x
I am getting there - under 200k ly left!
I did use a portal to put myself a little closer but not too much
Just enough so that it doesn't take ages
Black holes?
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||
On my adventures I have come across a literal straight vertical line of systems
Am under 100k ly now!
Under 50k. Almost there!
Woo!
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
WAIT. So if I hadn't died on anchor 4 trying to get strom crystals, I would have gone to 5 and then been no longer permadeath?!?!
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 🖤❤️🛸
This expedition was fun, but the real expedition is what I'm doing right now lol
Under 10k from the core, let's gooooo
Ah yes the Love star system. I shall set up camp here and then run off into the sunset

Ok thank you! I will try it
There we go. Also had one last distressed freighter, so I saved it as a last hurrah
Expedition goal is complete and I am about to warp \o/
It is done, and it has placed me on an extreme hot planet in the middle of a storm lol
Ok turns out this is a temperate planet so that's good
Well anyway that's done

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.
You mean, last milestone or last phase? 😊
Me too. Enjoyed this expedition and plan to make it my main save. My previous main save is in permadeath, and I don't want to lose everything there
if you beat a wave 5 sentinel fight, sentinels are disabled and a sentinel nest is revealed
to turn it off
Check the teleporter lists at the anchor points, several sentinel pillar bases
You get a map from a milestone. I banged one out easy as people marked one with a base as I warped to anchor points.
There!!! I clicked the button. The last inventory reward was for my starship luckily.
Good job
sigh
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
Aw
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
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.
is your progress reset and all rewards given out after that?
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.
huh, thanks
Real Moby Dick vibes there.
Oh wow, expo's over innit? I hope everyone made it okay
most did
I know of one that didn't finish. Not sure how many others. Like I never finsihed a previous expediton. Hopefully it comes back for them
oh good. I had a sneaking suspicion that you had to kill it and, honestly, I woulda bailed at that point I think if that had been the case.
You didn't blow up the ||deathstar|| I mean ||atlas||?
@steel pagoda think they will have a Redux at the end of the year?
Idk. Gut tells me 5-8 is a possibility. But can't verify
Hope they announce a new expedition soon. I really enjoyed Leviathan. Fantastic prize at the end. I'm ready for another
Idk when. Apergos thinks august. I think late september or october. But who knows.
They seem to coinside with the release of a new update as of late
Yea
they could offer old quests in between :)
Last year we had the tegridy farms halloween special. To find a worm egg
Yeah, I wish I would have finished that one
I'd like it if they had a bit of space in between if they reran the old ones
Yea space would be good. I don't get to play the regular game content and update much these days when the expeditons are tightly packed
🖤❤️🛸🤘
Going to use the glyphs on this one to re-settle on some great planets from my perma-death save.
I'm probably in the minority but, other than the frigate I don't even know what the rest of the rewards are for the expedition.
Ok i fixed it.... mobile typing is hard
oh so that baby fregate thing was just a decoration for base?
There was a base decoration and an actual frigate for your fleet
I know but I am referring to the one that was called baby or something
but anyway I guess I didn't lose much
I thought I might've lost a living ship with some exclusive design
Oh no
The calf is just a base decoration
The frigate is nice but it's not all that either
guess this exp's prizes weren't too hype-y
tho I still would wanna finish it if I had time
First expedition was a ship. We had 2 pets I believe and a second frigate from a crossover.
Oh you mean this expedition. Yea they listed them
Woohoo, about to sign in and check out the conversion.
Hope you fellow Travelers had a good expedition!
I did
First one too
Was fun
Gonna grind till i get bored and then ill vanish for while
It is the way
Expedition is over. So what do we type about in here now?
Random shit until mods shut it down
Ahh Ok.
How do you get freighter upgrades again?
Think I'll keep this Sentinel freighter. But need matter beam and everything else.
You can talk about the expedition, but they will lock it down. And if you talk about random things they'll lock it down sooner.
You buy blueprints on the bridge of your freighter. You get upgrade modules via running derelict freighters
From crashed frieghters, anomaly quests, or raiding other freighters
That too
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.
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
Glad you had fun.
Ok, that is what I thought, so during the expedition it was only giving somnal dust and Tainted metal right? But now it'll give the SFM?
I occasionally got an SFM during the expedition. They are pretty hard to come by
Not necessarily. I believe the anchor point derelict freighters gave somnal. But you could go elsewhere for other stuff.
But yes with the expedition over neither item is findable anymore.
Tainted metal is standard derelicts
Even without an expedition
so anyways wheres expedition 8, i cant believe they're making us wait so long for the new expedition 😠
Lol, you sound like a mr streamer viewer
Looking for SFM, though.
What's that stand for?
salvaged frigate modules
Oh yea
They can be up to the rng gods
Everytime someone asks for a new expedition they delay it 1 week
If you're using your expedition save (and therefore have the glyphs), run a derelict in this system.
anyone in the game on their expedition save that can verify prices of tech upgrades and base parts are back to normal?
They are
Yea I forgot to look at that earlier. I was heading to bed.
also, congrats to everyone who finished at the last minute, sympathies to those who didn't make it, and hope that hg will rerun this to give everyone another chance.
Ok saved the image... Will try it out later today.
Thank you.
And I am in the process of sadly and expensively replacing almost all my X modules
are the X modules no longer with good stats? what's up?
As soon as I quit and restarted, they were nerfed
Oof
oh nooooooo, well that's very naughty of hg innit
Mine seem normal still
Yay, now maybe I can afford a few upgrades.
Made me verreh sad
I'll look again tomorrow
Have you logged off yet?
Mine didn't change until I logged off and then back on later
that's lame
I can't remember if I checked them before or after the expedition ended.
I went to my normal save a bit before bed.
I'll check the expedition save tomorrow
I'll have a quick look, I've only got 1 or 2 X from logging in to grab the completed community milestones
A few of them are still baller, but it's around 10%
I spent the last 2 days fully Xing out everything
Got extra gear especially for the purpose
pain
when you test, try rerolling them btw
Big mood.
as in, do a save before trying them out, then reload and try again. see if the class changes
Roll for initiative.
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
Eh, its not that bad
"new mission: powering the base, learn the biofuel reactor" No I don't think I will 😄
lmao
Lol
You say that now
but you forgot that you need to do that to get to the electro in the tree
No one ever uses it again once they build a solar panel.
my one scanner module (X) is still fine (10k increase)
I will be interested to see what happens if you log off and back on
after the conversion? ok, can do that
did verify the base part blueprint price drop
Didn't trust me? :*(
lol
quit to mode select, logged back in, 4 X modules still ok
who
weird seeing that survival mode save there, heh
Not mode select
Actually out of the game
I mean, you may also be exceptionally lucky
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
I don't want to talk about how many nanites I spent today
I meant to save a stack but I forgot
well I'm going to craft a memory fragment here in a minute once I get the supplies, and see what happens
I did not keep a leftover memory 😞
Youtuber
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
crafting it gives me an X fragment so there's that
Im willing to wait a year or 2 for a rerun of 7
typical X, crap values, so that's how they discourage us from using this ability. heh
I notice that somnal dust, ancestral memories etc are kept around, of course they will only be good for selling
Or collecting
yep
I want some of it to put in my bases
One stack should do
Ill get to it eventually, soneone will always have a duped stsh of sonething like that
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?
I was absolutely horrified when I saw this…all my stats…gone🤮😱😂
Me too 
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 ^^ ? 😄
Do they just make X modules or do they still make the prepackaged deals too?
I haven't tested for that, I just made one.
if you do the
please let me know and I'll update the message
Just popped 10, it made both. 🙂
oh! ok, what was the prepacked, out of curiosity?
Two launch system rechargers, ablative armor, impact igniter, and amplified cartridges, both of the last are pulse splitter modules
Obviously the sample size is small, but it seems to be about the same distribution as prior.
messaage updated accordingly! and thanks for that test
👍
ty!
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.
that is a weird one. huh
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
I think it's intended behaviour
the devs don't want us walking around with superpowered saves
perfect 👌
and they don't want us to be able to craft the best of the best X either
Ok. Now I regret replacing all my S-Class with X-Class stuff 🙃
yeah, it was a nice expedition perk and very not nice that it was nerfed at the end
💩
hg could have left installed modules alone
POOP
Btw. Yesterday the notification said it would convert to a normal save. Have you looked? Is it survival now?
Pins
the most recent one should have all the post-expd stuffs now
I guess you checked it
checked everything we could think of
Yay
if you run across something not in that last, poke me and I'll add it!
The notification thingie said it would convert to normal. That must have been an error then.
yep
the actual prompt says "standard save", heh
so they cleaned that part up at least
Well, I did the core jump yesterday so I have the survival archivement
Found a nice purple bubble planet with mellow storms in Hilbert which I call home now.
ooohhh good job. I love me a purple bubble world, still using the one from emergence as home from that expd
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.
yep.... can't wait for the hype 😄
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.
which specific upgrade is that? we can check the ranges for it
whens the next expedition tho
Maybe in few weeks , maybe in few months .
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
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
I shut the game down but, I think it was the photon canon
I also found a nice looking experimental rifle. C class though
well that's what nanites are for, if you like the look enough 🙂
Oh you did the core jump too? I did it last night!
Yep
Nice. I kind of procrastinated but then booked it at like... 2 and a half hours before the expedition would end
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
I used the portal and warped once
I only did it to put myself closer but not right at the core
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
I didn't have much time
I already did it over 2 years ago. That was enough for me.
That's understandable. I wanted to do it the old fashion way
I'm a cheapskate who doesn't want to waste warp drive fuel
Now I just waste my time starting and deleting permadeath saves
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
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
Also understandable! Something I've done is stock up on a handful of storm crystals and craft hypercores as well as make sure the hyperdrive is decently upgraded
need some more? I think I've got over 200 on one of my saves
Nah, I don't need that many atm
In fact I believe I got more storm crystals stored back home or on my ship
I don't even know why I have that many
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?
read the pin more carefully
read the what? 
the 📌 📌 📌 😄
i'm so sad no one's commented on my name 
it's so beautiful I had no comment worthy of it!
(although I kind of expected it to be RedHotPins tbh 😛 :-D)
I did. I just expected that my X upgrades would've all become terrible
you exited the game fully and got back in?
No
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, ......
Oh oooooh
maybe I'll bold that
heh
that'll come next
need to rename the server No Mans Pins
(fixed, hopefully that will catch people's eye more now)
Anyone else disapointed when they realized that the exp7 main reward wasn't a freighter?
I don't really know what any of the rewards was except for the frigate.
The expedition was crap
Yep
?
I've seen those before
.7 tall
They're really nice
short stuff
@azure bone I had more fun with this expedition than any other lol.
Also just logged back into the save to find my X upgrades have indeed regressed 😔
same 
sad trombone noises
I do wonder if it's a bug or intentional
I think it is quite intentional

Finding Outlaw Systems
Requires economy scanner or conflict scanner installed on ship.
