Scanning also earns good money. Use the money at a space station galactic trade terminal to buy Drop Pod Data. As you fly around locating the drop pods, make sure to hit the Save Flag, at each location. Do 12 of them and objective complete. You'll want the backpack upgrades the Drop Pods provide to unlock the 3rd high power slot on your exosuit (so work toward the right.) Bread also provides a jetPack Boost for 15 seconds, so it's handy to have a stack. They do need to add a "Hot Bar" if you will, so you can bind the bread to a key, ie 1, to make it simple to use the bread, in the way you can bind a specific multitool to a specific key.

[@whatsitlikeau]

Thise are some amazing tips! I've highlited this for other Travellers, thank you!

[@isty4491]

Put the first S Class Scanner Upgrade you receive into a Super Charged Slot to almost double the money you get from scanning (its probabl not double, but it IS a significant amount more)

First, thank you for this guide, its helping me a lot.😍 Second, I'm playing NMS for more than 5 years always alone, never with other players, and I was very happy to just talk with npcs in Space Station and other places , but this expedition without any npc is making me depressed, very sad. Just doing it for the sake of doing them all . Again, thank you for making it easy and faster to finish 🤓

[@whatsitlikeau]

I'm so glad my guide helped! NMS is such a great experience and while the concept of this expedition seemed great on paper, I agree that it was too desolate

[@rodrammer3999]

[@whatsitlikeau]

That's so good mate!

[@markjt193]

EDIT: My original comment is below. I figured it out with an experienced NMS buddy. Here's what happened and I hope it helps another NMS rookie! It turns out I *did* get the Hyperdrive upgrade blueprints, but I didn't really notice them, or know what they were for. I then must have quickly filled all the free Ship technology slots with upgrades etc. That meant I never had a free slot to click on. If I did the pop-up would have suggested the Hyperdrive upgrades! As a new player I didn't see the relevance of the Catalogue/Guide and had never looked at all the "known" blueprints I had collected. So I had no idea that I actually has the 3 blueprints :) Because the "Adrift" expedition mostly guides the player I just kept moving on to new missions, thinking the use of the "Catalogue" was for later, non-expedition gameplay. Great, concise video guide, thanks. ORIGINAL comment: Thanks for the video, but I must be missing something: I cannot find any Warp drive upgrade blueprints, so I cannot visit the "Blue" systems. Everything else can be figured out by a new player and a bit of help/googling, but the "It's Alive" mission is doing my head in!! I have not found a single "Empty" world. Any suggestions anyone? (I have tried every suggestion on Reddit and Steam I think ;) )

[@whatsitlikeau]

Warp Drive plans are an objective award from the "Amidst the Stars" mission (crafting The Mind Ark one) After that you should be able to install the drives, no need to purchase plans. For the Synthetic life, at the final Rendezvous planet, you should be able to fly up on the system map and there are 2 blue planets (at the end of this video) that house 1 and 2 synth creatures respectively. Hope that helps!

[@cwbuckley4508]

Thanks for the video. I have been trying to find those synthetic creatures since this expedition came out. Again thanks. Short and to the point.

[@whatsitlikeau]

Glad you found them! I spend about 6 hours looking for them!

[@fabd-tv]

Excellent guide was very helpful to me as I didn't play the game for so long. Before I found it I was just stuck looking for Copper as I didn't remember you could scan for it :O I like that your guide doesn't go overly in the details, just gives a useful order in which to complete the steps. I enjoyed Expedition 13. Initially I thought it was a terrible way of getting back into the game because I thought it would be a lot of survival but once you get off the initial planet there's really not much challenge tbh. Which is fine by me since there is so much to do anyway. It ended up being a re-introduction to many elements of the game for me, like refining components, scanning and upgrading. In a way, the empty stations and settlements made it less overwhelming to get back in the game. Now I started a new Normal game and I love to see the lively Space Stations. Truly Expedition #13 is awesome if you took a long break. Now I wonder if they will ever re=open older expeditions? I have not completed any prior ones. When the game goes on maintenance I guess they should put them on a cycle kinda like Guild Wars does.

[@whatsitlikeau]

I really appreciate your feedback and sharing your thoughts on the Expedition. They do open older expeditions, and last year we were lucky to get a chance at grabbing the golden vector. From memory they open selected expeditions around December for 4 weeks at a time.

[@michaeleubanks3917]

Luck plays a part, but an easy way to complete Quantum Foam is to scan all creatures on a planet. A single bonus is often enough to complete the objective, and on some planets you can find all creatures close to your original landing spot. I probably wouldn't waste much time on the rare or hard to find creatures. But remember to turn in the bonus under discoveries if you manage to get 100% of the creatures on a given planet. I lucked out. Found all 8 creatures in a few minutes, and got a 2k bonus for getting 100%.

[@whatsitlikeau]

I didn't even think of that! Thanks for the great strat!

[@AggySquirrel]

rfaster way finding them look for planet systems with the letter f in it... it indicates peculiar planets ( ie finned planet ) and youll find the syntetic life forms )

The more of these adrift videos i watch the more i realize i would have been done with the expedition today the same day i started it if i had bothered to do some of the other objectives like the 5 ancient structures while i was doing other stuff now ive got a majority of phase 5 done and am struggle busing right through phase 4 oh well ill get it done tomorrow i guess lol

[@whatsitlikeau]

If you are still at rendezvous 5 don't forget to check the end of the guide to get your Synthetic life objective done easy! The rest of the objectives can be completed on most planets so while it seems daunting, you should do phase 4 and 4 fairly easy.

Are there any good tips on finding the sunken Freighter? I can'T seem to find one on any planet

[@KichigaiUsagi]

Check the local teleporters....eventually, you WILL find a sunken freighter base.

[@whatsitlikeau]

Easiest way is to build a Nautilus submarine, install a high power scanner, press up on the dpad and scan for one

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

​​@@whatsitlikeautried 5 times. No freighter found. I am tired of crafting nautilus.

[@whatsitlikeau]

You only have to craft the base ince per planet to be able to summon it anywhere on that planet. Are you scanning by installing a high grade scanner, pressing up on the dpad, and then selecting freighter? I spent ages just using my normal scanner until I realised I needed the high power scanner. You normally need to research it but in this expansion you can build it as soon as you've built the Nautilus

[@Neohurricane]

I must have tried this 5+ times as well, do you need a certain depth of water as so many planets are shallow water. Also I read you need a system with a space station in order to locate one but so far still no luck (I am using the nautilus scanner btw)

There's a mission which you have to find alien ruins or perhaps the sunken freighter that awards an "Emergency Signal Scanner" which you then use in your inventory while flying through space in pulse drive. You can also purchase a Signal Scanner from the abandoned space stations trade terminals, not the anomaly. Let me know how you go and if you get stuck I'm happy to start a new expedition and check

Sorry! I should have gone more in depth, and my accent is a bit off sometimes. There's no specific planet for the dissonant system, but there's a lot around.

​@Ikeula75 dude join my tag its aceintheair ( Ace in the air) I complete all the ones that come up by pure accident most of the time lol but I am pretty good at getting them done in at least 3 days depending on how much time I have to play. And everything in the game is possible to collect just have to know how to do it😊

I'm so glad! My son asked me to make him a guide so he could do this during school holidays and I never expected it to go off like it did!

[@RealWiFli]

How do you get a high powered sonar? I cant find how to make it nir where to get the blueprints

[@whatsitlikeau]

In this expedition, you have the plans by default. I legit went up to the anomaly only to find out I had them all along

[@RealWiFli]

I don’t see the blueprint when I try to install into my nautilus thing.

[@RealWiFli]

What do I do?

[@whatsitlikeau]

Sorry for the late response, I got your original message a 1am Aus time. You need to complete the signs to nowhere objective first, which rewards you with Nautilon Advanced upgrades

[@woodgreen8982]

[@whatsitlikeau]

Most buildings have the tiny radar array outside of them. If you fly around the planet surface, you will see house icons, land at them and press the radar array. The game should save and give you navigational data. Hope that helps!

I went through the derelict freighter and did everything ,but nothing happen. I couldn't get the milestone complete at all. I don't understand it why i couldn't complete it at all. was hard doing this, because I died. because of the aliens. And took a while to do this milestone.

[@whatsitlikeau]

I had the same issue and it turned out I only explored 8 of 9 areas. Did you get them all ticked off? You can always purchase a new scanned from any space station terminal and do it again. I always make sure my current phase objective is selected too. Hope that helps!

[@whatsitlikeau]

@jakstrieder ah sorry for that misunderstanding! I accepted it as I started a fresh save for this expedition. On my main save on Switch when I do it, I won't accept it as I have a really nice pirate frigate. So I guess it depends on what you have in your main save!

[@TheSCIOnce]

I can’t find a planet with ruins on it for the life of me

[@whatsitlikeau]

If you select the objective, you then deploy a signal booster, then you can scan for the ruins. Most planets will have ruins so it should be a quick one to achieve.

[@TheSCIOnce]

@@whatsitlikeau I tried a dozen planets and none had the option to scan for ruins. I did find a random planet via a random portal eventually and was able to complete the milestone. I found a boundary failure from the ghost in the machine milestone but it’s enclosed by a building/structure preventing me accessing it. What do I do with that?

It sounds lime you've had a rough time on this expedition! The boundary failure for me was out in the open so I'm not sure. Maybe some viewers might be able to give some insight?
