I've just started the second expedition, but having completed the first one makes certain things easier since you can just pick up your gold ship and ignore the lovely starting shuttle.

ugh great, I've run into the "Inventory Full" bug while claiming the reward for Phase 2. Had to back out of the ship reward because I didn't want to swap out my gold vector and now I can't claim anything else.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I really should give Expeditions a shot they sound kinda fun and these rewards look cool. Does this stuff carry over or does everything reset between? Cosmetic and special rewards like unique ship types carry over into other games/saves - you can access them via the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion in the Nexus. Each expedition is its own thing though, you start a new save and get a randomised character, a crappy ship, and a list of things to do.

I once found a traveller's grave that someone had built a base on then encased in walls. That's a dick move.

it'd be nice if the game remembered terrain edits in your bases at all tbh, sick of having a basement full of dirt

I completed the Living Ship mission, didn't want to swap my existing ship, went to go get one, came back, the living ship was replaced by a standard crashed ship, even though the living ship marker was still there

Welp the living ship just disappeared and I got the banner title for completing the quest so I guess I wasted a lot of time and resources.

Devor posted:The freighter acts like a mobile base that you can summon to your mini-ship's location in space, for free, whenever you want. There's not really a driving need to use your freighter for warping, unless it has better warp upgrades than your mini-ship (like in one of the recent expeditions). Just warp your mini-ship to the system, and if you need your freighter, summon it in using the same menu where you access the galaxy map. I think the freighter needs the upgraded engine type to be able to be summoned to non-yellow stars tho

I love building bases but never touch my Freighter apart from throwing in a teleport and some storage. Let me go full custom with it, build rooms with glass windows surrounding the hangar bay, or entirely strip out the interior apart from floating walkways and staircases connecting rooms.

sephiRoth IRA posted:What does multi look like in this game? Is there a cohesive story? Can me and a buddy just jump into our own instance like Raft or factorio? You start a game and your buddy can join on you. Technically you share the same universe as everyone else playing the game but in practice I think systems are their own little instances that people join if there are other players in that location. Also the galaxy is huge so the chances of accidentally running into anyone else outside of the Expedition events is slim to none. There is some story in various plot lines accessed from the Anomaly but you can ignore it if you like and just fly around doing stuff.

I generally build one large base wherever I start, and stash interesting stuff I find there. Then anything else is just a little shack and a solar powered portal, so I can zip between planets/places of interest.

If anyone wants a shared point to build bases and generally bimble about on, I've built a little base here: http://nmsportals.github.io/#2051DA97F914 You'll need to find a portal and power up the glyfs to get there. It's a rather pleasant purple world, I've made a basic base on it but that's about it (I haven't really explored or named the planets in the system) Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Aug 24, 2021 |

MazelTovCocktail posted:Thanks! This should work quite nicely…well once I get a portal and figure out how to use it. lol Just a heads up that base building in NMS is sort of janky and rigged up to have one base per player per planet https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Base_building No Man's Sky Wiki posted:Only one base per player will be visible per planet or moon to other players who are not in a lobby with the base owner. The most recently uploaded base will be the one that appears to other players. Uploading a different base on that planet or moon will cause that base to appear instead of one that previously appeared to others. I wish they'd include shared base building

I got lucky and found a settlement on a lovely grass world full of luminescent flying saucer creatures with only occasional boiling storms. The settlement system seems like mostly busywork at the moment, but it's sort of relaxing so whatever.

Damnit, that short range teleporters not needing power bug was extremely useful sometimes. Do you know what this game needs? Options for vertical traversal that aren't gigantic pains in the rear end. Gimme some jump pads.

I'd like a Settlement mission that's basically "drive this truck from your settlement to another settlement" (or trade depot or whatever), it'd give you an excuse to traverse the planet, there could be possible attacks en-route, etc.

Yeah well I spawned by a signal mast, activated it, found a settlement, which then broke the "use a signal booster" quest. So now I have to travel a million miles away and hope it detects another one.

Got everything but the Rocketman milestone now. I've tried jumping off the highest mountain I can find (with all the jetpack upgrades including the "recharge while falling" one) which didn't work. Next I think I'll try just boosting as high as possible from the same peak and hope for enough fall/recharge time

Libluini posted:My current troubles are this one and the one demanding flight acrobatics with your ship near the ground. But both counters remain at zero regardless of what I'm doing, I think those missions may be bugged. I found with that one the best thing to do is hug the water, it gives you consistent low elevation.

The peaks to get the "climb a mountain over 650u" are basically points so you're just boosting for full minutes going straight up hugging the "ground". Interesting! I was boosting up the side of the mountain while climbing it and the time counter kept resetting, I guess it counted touching the mountain as landing.

Also, the effect of a highly acidic atmosphere has to be added in. 8x faster. Also, huge pressure. 16x faster. Just add craftable armour types for Hyper Extreme Hazard Planets, or make them accessible via questline. Gimme more dressup options for my digital dolls, but give me a reason to use them.

I exclusively use the Nomad (floaty small craft) because you can just bomb over every terrain type at top speed. Its only real downside is the lack of environmental protection.

I really hope the reward goes across my characters because i already have a save i've invested a ton in so having another char with unique stuff isn't really my jam. Gonna be pissed if i find out i wasted 6+ hours on a char i don't even want haha. I don't remember having to scan unique stuff for the latest expedition, but expedition rewards do carry over between saves (but stuff bought with quicksilver doesn't)
