Adrift Expedition Speed Guide - No Man's Sky Adrift Expedition Efficiency Walkthrough, Tips & Tricks

[@MrFTmedia]

As always, much appreciated - I never start an expedition until Xaine's speed guides and a bunch of hotfixes have been released

[@pabloincell35]

I messed up and took some technology off of my iron vulture... now i respawn iron vultures missing 5 or 6 things... I had never done an expedition before

[@RWHansen]

Your guide saved my life! Okay, not literally but I didn't realize there was a new expedition until yesterday. I have completed every expedition until this one and was afraid I would miss it because work is so crazy. Thanks to you I could knock this out today and my little completionist heart is content knowing I didn't miss the opportunity to complete this one on the first release. I appreciate all your hard work in putting these together.

[@DIYcedarhilltx]

I'm right here with you. I just warped to the first star system. 🤭

[@yusefelawi125]

Same here, started the expedition with less then 24 hours left, and without his guide I don’t think I would’ve completed in the time i did

[@TheShannonagains]

Shout out to this man, I pulled this video up last night to clear this expedition in a hurry! Usually I do an expedition on the second weekend after release, but this time I waited to the last weekend and still cleared it!

[@OLD_MAN_MURRAY]

I never start an expedition until your guide drops anymore. Stellar work, as always! Much love ❤️

[@callum563]

Thank you for your effort in making these guides, I couldn’t complete the expeds without it. I’m very appreciative of all the work you do for them. :)

[@josephschaffler3506]

Awesome guide as always dude. Makes the run so much more enjoyable. Thanks for the hard work in putting these together. Looking forward to your Light No Fire content. 👍🏻

[@datawesomeguy]

Thank you so much! You made this fun and way less frustrating! I love this game since it came out but can be bogged down by some of the more janky story/mission based material. Thanks for taking the time to do this! You got a new subscriber. Excited about looking in your back catalog of NMS content to help with the ease of base-building/freights

[@GuildMaster22]

I can't enphasize how much this helped me, this was exactly what i was looking for as a very new player. Thank you so much Xaine

[@Ink2Screen]

Thank you so much for the guide! Honestly I would not have completed the Expo without it, those Rendezvous would have annoyed me to quit. Thanks again, and I hope you have a lovely summer!

[@binary_ironclad]

Huge, man. May re-run Adrift using your advice. Went through on my own and dilly-dallied a bit, but I enjoyed it overall. Thanks!

[@Owleer]

Thank you for the guide. It first time I had to look up a guide for the expedition. This is my first expedition I can't stand, it frustrating the heck out of me. I still haven't finished it because I find somethings way too tedious. Not sure I will, no matter how kool the ship looks. After changing all space stations this expedition felt so out of place. 😂 Thanks again. Hopefully I can push myself through this one. 😆

[@spitflamez]

You can do it!!!!

[@aseroxd]

I had to leave it to the last minute. Thanks for the guide!

[@FTG_Dutch]

Thank you very much really appreciate the time and effort you put into it just to save ours

[@uselesscattle]

Great video as usual! Very informative

[@edwardk3637]

Thanks for the walkthrough! It was nice getting through the expedition fast again!

[@intrepidcrow]

Thanks again for an awesome guide, just finished it on my Switch. All coordinates matched on there except I couldn’t find the double damaged machinery spawn so the alternative tips helped immensely. Also on Switch the space station for me only had eleven wiring looms so jumped to another for the extra one I needed. Guide was a massive help so thank you!

[@markiemark1869]

Nice one mate, awesome video 👍👍

[@Dadolphinsmakemecry]

2 leisurely days l8r i finished this expo with your help,although i collected salvaged data along the way for nanites,and found a fellow traveler that had a mold base so that was nice too.

[@ronaldpiper1326]

Hi Xaine I saw this on Reddit and wondered if you could confirm and if this is the one from the expedition or from the quicksilver merchant or are they the same. {The one you get from the expedition itself is a true keeper. It is NOT a hauler under the hood (even though it's classed as such), and thus, it's worth flying. It's likely a reskinned exotic, based on how well it tunes up (it can break 3200 Manoeuvrability). Do NOT keep any of the custom builds unless it's for giggles or role playing purposes. But do keep the original reward Iron Vulture. Once the expedition goes away, you aren't getting any more.) I haver not claimed mine yet

[@dogbarian8280]

Always appreciated, dude! I finished last weekend without guides, but I’ll use this to run on other saves. 🎉

[@Xaxxus]

I am doing these expeditions only now using a mod to unlock them again. Unfortunately, it seems the worlds update has caused the rendezvous systems to change. But even so, I appreciate you putting the coordinates and also showing where each system is relative to the previous one. I was still able to follow most of the guide and get it done, then circle back and do the rendezvous at the end.

[@TroaBarton]

By far the best guide, thank you for taking a lot of extra time with this. Unfortunately I already completed it before finding it but I'll share this with my friends. Im not sure why yours wasn't showing up higher on the results.. Your meta tags and SEO should be playing well with youtube. Engagement score probably. So to the people reading this like, comment something, share, and subscribe.

[@ShegrasiRegalis]

Comment to appease the algorithm gods. 👍

[@pabloincell35]

Can you complete it a second time?

[@TroaBarton]

@@pabloincell35 you can do it as many times as you want just not on the same save. Not sure why you would want to though.. Once you’ve completed it you can go on any other or even new save and collect the rewards for each account.

Thanks man, this was guide was super helpful!

[@wormwoodmain6677]

Best guide out there, thank you!

[@john_in_phoenix]

Very nice and concise guide. Much appreciated for the work you put in.

[@zudkra]

You saved my expedition. I could not find those robotic lifeforms.

[@Retrogamer2600]

Wow insane vid thanks. I’m starting this expedition late.

[@jeffillick3025]

Thank you for showing the warp cells in the ATLAS, I keep telling people to go get them.

[@Chronodox]

My session ended up glitching and didn't let me grab the cells, sadly. I tried to remedy it by loading the restore point that was created from exiting the ship and then the pedestals were empty. Luckily, I had mined for more materials before that just in case so it wasn't too bad. Just inconvenient.

[@astrozach7778]

@@Chronodoxsame thing just happened to me, doesn’t give the option to grab the warp cells. I also tried to reload my save, but no luck there either.

[@Cennerite]

This is a fantastic guide!

[@RNMSC]

My first time through was on the Nintendo Switch, and the derelict freighter I ended up with had quaking sacks of spitting beasties. Ended up dying a couple of times that time. On PS4, and PC, both derelict freighters were of the same type you ran into Xaine.

[@desmondflorence3787]

First! Awesome video! Thanks for great content!

[@joshuaholt6866]

Last day of the expedition, I got to the freighter and couldn't finish cuz the doors glitched and wouldn't open and it was 2 am. So that was fun

[@joshuaholt6866]

Never mind I still nailed it, primo guide 💪🏻💪🏻

[@phaedrusXiX]

Thanks!

[@XainesWorld]

Thank you!, though, just incase there was confusion on this being the current expedition guide, I've JUST released that, so here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp_do56EasZ0pJI Thanks again Phaedrus, super appreciate it

[@GiovanniV69]

Awesome! This is so helpful!

[@chevabubz]

I'm just finishing this up, been crazy busy at work and lost power tonight I'm on the grind! Much appreciated ! One question, why don't you scan as tou are heading towards the rendezvous.. I found rendezvous w, in 2 seconds🤷🏼

[@chevabubz]

I spoke too soon😢 power just went out I heard the transformer down the street

[@Ravn73.]

Thanks for guide! I needed help with the wheat.

[@heebldorf5333]

Nice video, well needed.

[@FST0p]

Good stuff man 👍

[@saramandeus9328]

Thank you for this guide. Astina wasn't in my way to rendeavou 1, take me some time to find it, but the reward was very nice because I landed in someone base, went to portal and found a base name "Blessed Class A" (Africanbuddah84) with a sentinel ship class A .Same planet, Rattix, coords -21,10 / +79,03

[@samvimes9258]

Thanks Xaine.

[@tekwolf117]

Good Guide. Thanks! Unfortunately, my signal booster only shows one option, 'Locate Nearby Structures'. Does anyone have the coordinates for the Traveler's Grave?

[@tekwolf117]

I figured it out. I had to have the mission selected, before using the signal booster.

[@Crow4o]

Thank you!

[@dl-6932]

I'm not sure what an "empty" planet is but i found two planets with synthetic lifeforms in red systems near the final rendezvous. So you don't need the emeril or indium drives

[@barrywickenheiser]

Wonderful guide. I always wait for these to drop before I try out the expeditions anymore. I'm currently stuck on the delelict freighter though because there is an x over the white marked doorway after the first major terminal and I'm unable to proceed with it. I'm guessing it is glitched out and I'll have to reload....

[@bigrup]

I have a similar problem. Can’t open the doors the slime doesn’t seem to register me shooting it. Did reloading help? I was thinking of warping to a different system and trying there but I’m not sure if I’ll still have the scanner in my inventory as I’ve already used it.

[@barrywickenheiser]

@@bigrup I reloaded to my last save before taking off from the planet to start scanning for the freighter. Lost about 20 minutes but it did allow me to go through and complete the whole thing the second time. If I remember correctly there used to be a bug that affected these frieghters like this a lot so I'm guessing it was never fixed or popped back up again.

[@bigrup]

@@barrywickenheiser thanks for replying. Sometimes KZbin feels like you are shouting into the void, just like NMS! 😂. So you completed it in the rendevous5 system like the guide? My save is in space after I’ve fired the scanner but there is an earlier restore. Maybe I need to try that one? I’m away this week which is frustrating. Want to get it done!

[@barrywickenheiser]

@@bigrup Yep I did complete it after reloading. I also had a reload from after I activated the scanner but it seemed that after loading that save I never actually could locate a freighter. I was just stuck in a loop of scanning for one for a really long time. Gave up and loaded the save where I was about to head into space before activating it and once I scanned it popped right up for me and I was able to get it completed that time.

[@bigrup]

Finally got back to my console and yes reloading the restore point on the planet generated a completable derelict freighter. All done now. Thanks Barry and thanks Xaine. Super pleased with the Vulcan and the ghost freighter!

[@TheRealGatD]

Unfortunately those coordinates showed me a different ship not the sentinel but I got it the other way you mentioned haha killin machines

[@mystechry]

Hmmm, smeone messed up the first rendezvous point for me and I can not activate the terminal. Guess I'll have to find that fifth ruin elsewhere. Do you happnen to still have the coordinates for that ruin?

[@tjacks841]

Me too. What did you do? I'm stuck. No ruins found for me yet.

[@mystechry]

@@tjacks841 Proceed with the video and expedition. Later will be a section where you search for ruins on an other planet. You can simply search for obne more and it's all good.

[@tjacks841]

@@mystechry Thank you. I'll do that. Appreciate your answering.

[@Comradin]

Any tips on how or where to find a sunken freighter? Swimming around in my Nautilon, but the scanner does not show any freighter. Found some crashed on the surface of planes, but no sunken ones.

[@nicktyrin4401]

Double machinery isn't there anymore after the Worlds Part 1 btw

[@nicktyrin4401]

Planets are different, too Still a very helpful guide though

[@StDomBz]

I'm new. So if I don't have an existing save, I won't be able to keep the rewards?

[@toplay4life]

Your the best

[@skrunkey]

I just finished adrift, but I’m going to bring my old save to ps5, will I have to redo expedition 13 on my old account I transfer?

[@thetwingamer3968]

Staring up at the sky for 60 seconds doesnt work and when im at the first rendezvous i cant access the broken terminal. What am i supposed to do the expedition ends soon

[@cmdrlightwalker_9877]

Also another tip for the 1600 unit high milestone. Takes a few minutes but it's fun. If you find a airless planet you can actually just jetpack straight up until it triggers. Again not speedy but fun nonetheless.

[@TheDetroitfan100]

It’s not letting me complete the be calm mission do i have to be on a certain planet for it to work

[@Easyflux]

I started the current expedition without a main save file, and I'm wondering when I'm done with the current expedition; Can I convert the expedition to a normal save, and make that my main? Or do I have to wait until the whole expedition finishes, and then it'll convert into a normal save? I know you can claim expedition rewards with other saves, but I don't have other saves and I've put quite a lot of time and effort into learning the ropes with my current expedition save. Just wondering if I'm wasting my time if it's all getting deleted etc. Please help.

[@tjacks841]

What gives? I wasn't allowed an option to copy my ship and lost it. What did I do wrong. The option at the bottom for Xaine wasn't there for me.

[@ChrisOnRockyTop]

It won't let me use the terminal at Rendevous 3. What gives? Multiplayer is off.

[@No-vq1iv]

Pro tip: You can use a neutron cannon to harvest the eggs quickly. Just fire a shot at the ground near the eggs and it should break them all open at once... most of the time. Don't hit the eggs directly or they'll get vaporized.

[@kingcobra6368]

I somehow lost my portal and now I can't progress through the expedition, I've found another one but it doesn't count. Any idea how I can find the original portal?

[@az_street_walker4181]

Well I just started playing again after about a year n I have 3 days to bust out this expedition let’s see if I can do it

[@az_street_walker4181]

Well fuck me I guess did the harmonic brain went to grab my inventory from the ship I had and the sentinel ship fucking disappeared

[@az_street_walker4181]

Good thing I just restarted it thankfully was there upon loading in almost made me quit for another year

[@E-bro743]

At rendezvous 3 the terminal wont activate for me i have multiplayer off but it seemed to have bugged out do you guys have coordinates for another terminal?

[@Andro1d132]

You don’t need the terminal as much as just finding the ruins. Mine did the same thing so I just selected the find ruins milestone and used the beacon to find all of mine.

[@ygaming]

Returning (but still newish) player here and I have a question if anyone can answer. Around 07:19 you mention that we should grab the two warp cells but I am not able to interact with those on the atlas interface

[@BrianComradovichRadovich]

Is Multiplayer switched off right now? Because if it's on then another player could have grabbed both before you got there. Happened to me, felt like a moron afterwards. Not as bad as if I'd visited a ship crash site with Multiplayer on, but still stung a bit.

[@ygaming]

@@BrianComradovichRadovich I found the issue. I had to progress in the Atlas Path mission on primary save. I am playing the game after a looong time and I straight up went into try the Adrift expedition 😂 I could see both the orbs but couldn't interact with them so completing the Atlas Path mission fixed it. I anyway just took a few extra radiant shards instead of the warp cells to complete Adrift before that 😅

[@BrianComradovichRadovich]

@@ygaming I'm glad you got it sorted. Game is pretty fun now. Although the Expeditions are challenging, they're usually doable.

[@ygaming]

@@BrianComradovichRadovich Yep definitely! Been spending my time base building and doing electrical stuff while I work side by side 😀

[@stweamrock3219]

[@maxgebetsroither9223]

I have lost my Signal Scanner for the derelict freighter. Does anybody know how I can complete this quest anyway or do I have to restart completely?

[@Comradin]

You can always build a new signal scanner. Happened to me, too. Left the damn thing on some planet surface behind.

[@jackochainsaw]

I was a bit disappointed by this expedition. I love the Hauler you get at the end of it, but it didn't feel as exciting as the previous expedition. I completed it twice. Once on my main save and once on a new save. I had a better time the second time around but I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed this time out. I realise Hello Games are working on another game entirely but it felt like this one needed a bit more. What was nice was that the community provided a number of places to get to the required height for one of the milestones. I did also get a new appreciation for the Nautiloid. I love that Geocraft. What was really uncool was one guy building a structure around a traveller spot at the final waypoint. I had to leave the system and waste another surge battery to find it on a different world. Very uncool.

[@NebulaSparrow]

Great guide as always. I just really hate the coordinates system in this game. You have no visual reference markers unlike what would be in reality. It always feels like I’m flying in circles watching the numbers go up down and all around. There’s not even an audible ping! So frustrating. Every time I had to find a coordinate it added 30-40 minutes to the quest. God I hope they don’t do this in Light No Fire.

[@chillian321]

The tip about the slot-upgrades would have been nice in the beginning of the guide not the very end, otherwise great guide thanks anyways.

[@chriskidd2593]

You lost me at Astina. It's not on my route and I can't find it on the map. Never mind. I found it.
