No Man's Sky Expeditions - How to get the best start - Tips and Tricks

[@monkamonka123]

Just started NMS recently and have been hesitant to try the expedition. After watching this I’m going to give it a try.

[@Beeblebum]

Awesome! Good luck! 😄

[@WarrdYH]

Same

[@jl7998]

I started NMS recently too and finished expedition 14 (my first) in a week without any tech or cargo from my primary save. It was a lot of fun and I got a s-class multi-tool and s-class interceptor starship out of it. I can't tell you how many walker brains I collected lmao

[@h8ter_420]

This helped me out so much, I’m almost on phase 4 in just a couple hours. Will say though, you do start with the MK1 refiner, an advanced mining laser and class C ship, but if you’ve never done expeditions before (like me) then this video is SUPER helpful

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, every Expedition is different and changes the rules. This guide is mainly to give the introduction to how to get it started. 👍

[@ScottRinseRepeat]

Good video Beeblebum. You answered a lot of questions from new travelers in your last livestream, so this will help a lot of newer players.

[@bstelly]

As a NMS veteran, this is a really, really great guide for everyone new to expeditions. Per Audacia Ad Astra.

[@merquise8137]

I think I found your base in the expedition. It's the one inside the POI guarded by sentinels. Made it super easy to kill 4 walkers. Thanks.

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, I actually found that build while recording this video.. haha. So just dropped a BC at that location. 😊

[@Jason_P]

This is fantastic content. Thank you for making this video.

[@The_Andrah]

This guide was excellent. Thank you so much!

[@FlaShbacksRevenge]

Just restarted NMS a couple days ago and got hooked. Will give expeditions a try for sure. How does it work with my existing save, do i have to play through the expedition or quit it early if i want to continue with my main save aka my ships and multitools etc. or does it only copy the stuff i prepared to a new save? Also I gotta say your guides are a gift. Clear, well put together, very easy to digest. Can't even describe how good they are in comparison to other ones (shouting, heavy accents, bad mics/quality). Never gave someone a more easier Sub for their work.

[@vojeurist]

Great tips with no spoilers

[@aspecttnd]

I’ve played NMS for several months now and expeditions always seemed like a lot to me, but after this I’ve decided to give it a shot day 1 for “Cursed” and I’m already through phase one, really pumped for that boundary ship!

[@chuck2846]

Same here. I have 72hrs played but never tried expeditions. I've been looking for a new challenge and this video helped a lot. I'll be starting the cursed one today

[@agnichatian]

Very nicely done - subscribed.

[@DonCorleoneNL]

Wow mate. I play this game for many years but never knew you could start the exp in your own save. Thx so much

[@Beeblebum]

They added this option with the Omega Update - We were hoping it would unlock the older expeditions as well. Sadly that has not been the case (so far?)

[@ShadowDeus]

It's a newer feature.

[@Pl4sm0]

Best expedition guide I ever found, thanks

[@amiiranamastii5306]

thank you so much for this informative and accessible video! ❤ i felt a bit intimidated by Expeditions before, but you made them feel like something i could have a go at. keep up the great work!

[@Sea-raider]

Lovely video!

[@lagbait3076]

lol, wish I would of known about the existing saves being used. I got my new one past advanced mining laser so I'm good now but man that would of been nice to know. Thanks Beeb.

[@Beeblebum]

I do like to just start a Creative Save and jump into the anomaly to start an expedition. That way I can prepare for it, but not risk existing saves (at least at the release of the expedition).

[@PhrontDoor]

Whatever I did, it was entirely the LEAST prepared ever. Did new save, didn't even peek ahead at the milestones. :) Had to keep going back to ocean/water planets. :)

[@LordHonkInc]

For the viciousness milestone I assume? Yeah, this was my first expedition and that one stumped me for a good while, in particular because I saw a giant dune-sandworm-like creatures on one planet but couldn't get a scan off so I spent hours just walking around on that planet hoping to see one of those again.

[@southernantman]

I was wondering if I got to take anything back with me❤ I copied my gun over and the scanner on my gun made the biggest difference. Didn’t grab my ship I figured that would be to much.

[@CJ-Snape]

Thanks for this video! So, just to make sure I have this right - if you start an expedition from an existing save, it's like having two separate worlds running with your one character. With the kiosk in the Anomaly being a shared equipment area to move items back and forth? I want to make sure I don't lose anything if I move from one to the other - which I guess I don't as long as I move the items into the anomoly storage. If I took nothing over when starting a new expedition, would I get random new equipment there?

[@Beeblebum]

If you take nothing over, you start the expedition as usual (but from your existing save) which means, once the expedition is completed, you then can transfer over the currency, materials and Technology back to your existing save.

[@CJ-Snape]

@@Beeblebum Great news. So nothing to lose!

[@freakguitargod]

Great video, can you elaborate more about how to bring ships and tech back to original save from expeditions? Thanks.

[@Beeblebum]

Ofcourse, I actually made a video explaining most of what you need to know - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sICYZ4GZoK-Zmsk 😊

[@freakguitargod]

@@Beeblebum Fantastic! thank you! just one more thing, if i leave expedition mode and return to my original save and back to expedition will i have the same inventory as when i left it for both saves? and i can only copy multi-tools and ships from the expedition mode to the original save right?

[@Beeblebum]

@@freakguitargod The 2 gamemodes, while linked, are seperate instances. So each mode has its own inventories. You can only copy over ships and Multitools, but it is possible to transfer over items/resources from one save to the other (but only one time, not several times).

[@freakguitargod]

@@Beeblebum Thank you so much for this, and everything worked just like you said.

[@Dragonime]

@@Beeblebum You can alternate between your main save and expedition save to transfer items and tech. You can go into options and click return to primary save. That's what I did and took pretty much everything from my expedition save to my main.

[@topheftyr533]

Not gonna lie, for a relatively new player this expedition system is very confusing. With all of the saves, tasks, redeeming rewards, re loads etc... it gets extremely overwhelming. Not only that, while I understand these expeditions come back later one, it can be anxiety driving being a new player wanting to participate but also not wanting to start because of a lack of game knowledge. But you also don't want to miss out while the expedition is going on.

[@Beeblebum]

This expedition definitely does not feel beginner friendly, as there is also a lot of mechanics that might not be known to new players. Apart from that, the short time and the constant feel of being rushed probably makes it very frustrating for them.

[@IniquityGames]

So if I started an expedition on a new save and complete it, I can get the rewards on my main save. But what about my multitool, ship, and resources? Can I swap those over to my main save?

[@Beeblebum]

If you start an Expedition on a New Save - Then that save will transfer over to a Normal Save when the Expedition is completed. As that save is not linked to any other existing saves, it is not possible to transfer inventory, Starships or Multitools, they will just be part of the Save it converted to. There are some sneaky ways if you are on PC - But none of them are vanilla methods (Read: Save Editor)

[@IniquityGames]

@@Beeblebum thank you!!

[@meikaishi]

Just to add, I believe the expedition rewards (the ones you redeem at the quicksilver merchant) are available to all saves

[@ydkwil]

Crazy running into you in the wild. Your TF|2 movement guide is like mandatory viewing. Maybe I'll run into you, interloper.

[@agnichatian]

When you copy over your ship or multi-tool, does it include the installed tech or inventory ?

[@Beeblebum]

Hmmm.. As far as I recall.. it does.. But now you made me doubt that.. lol

[@agnichatian]

@@Beeblebum Yeah, I'm good at doing that - but I later watched someone else's video and it seemed like his MT and ship were intact, going by the pictures.

[@meikaishi]

Just to confirm, yes, it is a complete 100% copy, and I might add that it is a >copy

[@agnichatian]

@@meikaishi thanks

[@Beast-jn1rl]

Can you still unlock rewards from previous expeditions? Like the atlas staff and the spaceships etc?

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, you can unlock all your previous rewards on other saves. If you are wondering about unlocking rewards on saves you already claimed one (and perhaps deleted it) You can clone them over from an expedition. Check this video for more info about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sICYZ4GZoK-Zmsk

[@ShadowDeus]

Best start is to watch another persons playthrough so you know what youll need lol.

[@joebasham6376]

Just to be clear you can do the expedition with an existing save and go back to all my old stuff after it finishes? I’m not one for making new characters I’m too attached to the one I have😂

[@wisewisdomtooth]

Yeah that's what I'm wondering also

[@Beeblebum]

As explained from 6:36 - you can jump back to your Existing Save after you completed the expedition (it is even possible to jump back and forth between Expedition and Existing saves during the expedition).

[@0554joe]

Are you able to do past expeditions?

[@highlandrab19]

Such a shame you cant carry the stuff over to your main save if you start with a new save, got the game a few days back guess ill have to push on till i get the anomaly and go that way

[@Beeblebum]

Expedition Rewards itself are available on all your saves... The only things that are not cross-save transferable are the equipped ship, multi tool and currency you collected.

[@joenelson3571]

How many saves does everyone else have? I just have one

[@meikaishi]

I only have one too, I started playing right around the update that included the option to start expeditions from you main save, so I never felt the need to create a new one

[@killzjoyenjoy7307]

Can you play expeditions with friends? Or is it only solo play

[@Beeblebum]

You can, but Multiplayer (in general) is always a little finicky.. So expect that you will lose each other now and then and need to rejoin. But it works ok-ish.

[@devwinkle]

When you leave the expedition to your primary save, do you take anything with you from your inventory ?

[@iro6758]

No, the expedition is a whole, new, save. However, when you're done with the expedition, you can claim the unique rewards from that expedition in your primary save via the "Anomaly"

[@Beeblebum]

If you started your Expedition adventure from an existing save, you will be able to transfer over some of the items over (7:06). Some items don't seem to be able to be transferred over. The rewards you unlocked from the phases and expedition, will be available to unlock in all your saves from the QuickSilver Vendor.

[@Myth407]

Is there a way to add stuff if you started it before you could add something

[@serodero88]

So, i can Sell the gathered items in Expeditions, Like Oxygen etc. because i Can Not Transfer them into the Main Save ???????? Im german sorry for my wording

[@Beeblebum]

IF you started an Expedition from an Existing save, It will be possible to transfer over a limited amount resources and technology - This is normally done before you press the button "End Expedition" (the same way you would prepare your Expedition before starting it). You can of course sell your things as well in the expedition mode, as the units/nanites/quicksilver earned in the expedition is transferred over to your existing save

[@1davejsutdave1]

I'm new and started a fresh one but barely played I can delete that then copy over the character. Now on my main I tried to get an atlantid multitool and got the wrong one from a shrine, could I get it on my expedition and copy it over to my main? Thanks in advance!

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, it is possible to start an expedition and travel to the system where the Multitool is at; Take it and then transfer it back to your existing save. Take note that it does depend on where the Multitool is located, because if it is really far from the expeditions planets, you will need either to fly for a long time, or use the portal. You do however not get any glyphs as rewards during this expedition.

[@DjNEiT]

How to continiue atlas story line ? after finish expedition and convert save to normal

[@Beeblebum]

As far as I am aware, the story lines should trigger once you end the expedition and I would assume warp once to a new Star system. This should normally trigger the Communicator on your ship to call you and start the story lines.

[@LilRocco414]

I started it today with nothing in inventory.

[@AustrianPainter-dw8zo]

I heard all the rewards are only for that character and I can't unlock them on new games I start later or if I delete that character. Not worth it

[@Beeblebum]

well, whoever told you that is a liar - I also shared in this video you can collect the rewards in any other saves - 6:16

[@AustrianPainter-dw8zo]

@@Beeblebum I did not know this, it's why avoided them. I do numerous playthroughs at times.

[@GoldDiggersTV]

Ok so if i do expedition from a new save i can still claim rewards (bug outfit and mech parts) on my main save? im hesitant to start expedition on my main save. Im afraid it will corrupt my save lol

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, if you complete the expeditions on a new save, you can even delete that save, your rewards will be available at the QuickSilver merchant to unlock. This can be done with every save and future saves you will make. (6:20)

[@mimi884]

this was my first expedition so i ended it without sending the mech tech back to my main save is it possible to still claim it?

[@Beeblebum]

You can still claim it by unlocking it with Quicksilver. While I have not tested this myself, you could also just start another Expedition, and only focus on doing the optional Milestones, unlock them in the expedition. It might take you some kills, but it might be less grindy than getting QuickSilver. Still, I did not check it how this works - I might have to test it.

[@mimi884]

@@Beeblebum thanks for the reply it doesnt even give me the option to buy the blueprints with quick silver it simply says "already owned" in the shop but i cant equip em on my mech, oh well.

[@meikaishi]

Not sure if you came back to it, but at the time there was a bug with the mech parts that has been fixed, if you haven't already you can now just claim the parts normally from the quicksilver merchant

[@somashekarbr3597]

I started expedition on new save, can i transfer my ship, multi tool back to my main save?

[@Beeblebum]

No, to be able to transfer ships and multitools to a main save, you need to start the expedition on that Main save.

[@gunnergamer5764]

I started on a Space. Ship ?

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, Expedition Beachhead started you on your freighter - which is pretty unique (I think in total we only started 2 times from a freighter).

[@gunnergamer5764]

@Beeblebum thanks

[@universal_wisdom3416]

Not understanding how I’m supposed to get chromatic metal with 1700 credits, no refiner blueprint, and a dream. Looks like this isn’t for me.

[@_Daio_]

PMSL, that's the spirit.

[@maxst9561]

how about playing the game shooting stuff scanning stuff and build a base computer and do like 2 base missions to get the refiner blueprint 😂

[@ChuckBassFGC]

Play the main story missions brother, I started this game a few days ago and it was very confusing at first but it’s very fun once you understand how it works. PS. You can make everything free if u really want to thru the difficulty settings

[@shardik5353]

You get it the same way you would on any other save. The only difference between expeditions and any other normal save is that there are milestone quests. Copper or Activated Copper (can be found on many planets in the starting Yellow Star systems) > Chromatic Metal There are quite literally dozens of great ways to make credits. Find a stormy planet and collect storm crystals, hunt bounties, find and sell crashed ships, establish your two trade routes between wealthy systems and buy trade goods in one system for cheap and sell them for a profit in the economy that needs them, etc etc etc.

[@meikaishi]

Get some S rank scanner upgrades and soon enough you'll be drowning in units, another tip is to get the freighter as soon as possible (just do some hyperdrive jumps until you get the fight that offers you the free freighter), with the refiner in it you can combine 3 materials from the get go, much faster than grinding for the large refiner recipe, then just combine copper with gold and silver to get a lot of chromatic metal

[@Dornpunzel]

What language is this?

[@Dtownpunk77]

So expeditions are a pain in the ass, stay away from them. Thanks

[@maxst9561]

you do normal things you would do on a new save idk why so many people have a problem with that 😂

[@meikaishi]

They're fun as small and more focused runs starting from zero, and the rewards are always worth it, some are way more chill than others too like the ongoing aquarius one

[@tandje0453]

you all dont need a good start!!! done new save and im already done! so

[@smacfe]

servers been down - no joy.

[@HayumShidaba]

Might be your internet not working. No problem in server yet.

[@duramirez]

This is so over complicated for no reason. 😞
