The NMS wiki is pretty thorough. For everything else, there’s Lemmy and Reddit.

Assuming they upload their base, you can visit it without them being online. If they are online you can visit their bases that aren’t uploaded.

Yes, you can encounter people outside of the Anomaly, assuming you have Multiplayer enabled.

When you start a new save, there are different game types you can choose like Creative, Suvival, and Expedition. They each have their own rules and settings. In this case when I say Normal, I mean the default game type and specifically not an Expedition.

I’ve literally killed around 3 dozen. Nothing so far. I just wish I knew I wasn’t wasting my time.

Yeah, you crush the juicy grub and it makes the Vile Queen attack. Supposedly the queen drops the different helms but I have killed SO many and gotten nothing with my expedition save.

That sucks. I’ve checked multiple bases across my saves, and somehow none of them were impacted. I expected at least a couple of them to be trashed because I tend to build along the terrain and into caves. While surfaces features of the planets changed, the terrain itself seemed to stay the same.

I’m not holding my breath though. Worlds Part 2 is coming eventually and there’s no telling what will happen.

I don’t know of guide, but off the top of my head…

Many of these quests result in rewards like ships, appearance modifications, companions, etc.

I’ve seen both happen in previous updates, so I don’t know what the intention was with this particular update.

Honestly, I am not seeing a big difference so far. I loaded my various saves and checked to see if any of my bases were affected, but didn’t see much of a change. Yes, clouds and water are better looking, and some planets had some new terrain features, but nothing major. I wonder if they limited the impacts to existing inhabited planets?

Yes, there have been broad and focused terrain generation changes in previous updates that have wiped out bases, especially if they’re built in a cave or follow the existing terrain.

Quite often you just find out the hard way… You teleport in only to find yourself hovering in the sky or embedded in the ground. 😅

I am never going to complain about a NMS update, but if it’s planet generation overhaul, you had better take pictures of your favorite bases now.

You can find it at -22.81, +111.53. I have a Communications Station there as well.

Oh good… I felt bad that I couldn’t move the dumpster for Brendan in my latest playthrough.

Great find! You should share this in NMSGlyphExchange.

It looks like the expedition is finally over since the last optional milestone was reached; however when I go to collect the rewards and officially end the expedition, the game locks up. My character just stands there and the controls have no effect. Hopefully they get that fixed soon.

I ended up building out a base on Nash 33/W4 because I came across an S-Class Sodium spot and I liked the nearby cave system.

It’s adjacent to a crashed freighter as well.

I’ll keep expanding on it while I wait for the expedition to end so I can complete the main quests.

Yeah, technically it’s not over for me either. I just started doing end game tasks like collecting portal glyphs, farming for a freighter, etc.

I finished today as well. Overall, I thought it was fine. It’s clear it was meant to show new players different parts of the game. I was actually glad it was so succinct without much grinding. Almost everything you need was within the confines of the expedition, either as a reward or available somewhere along the path.

While I always like the cosmetic rewards, it annoys me that the colors and textures never quite match the existing customizations. I wish they would go back and make everything a little more consistent.

I often keep playing my expedition saves and get them into an end-game state. I haven’t decided if I will this time.

Unfortunately I think there’s a decent chance this will be the last major update or Expedition as they shift their focus to Light No Fire. I hope that’s not the case.
