1. As of last night, “acquire an A-class multi tool” is glitched. Don’t waste ur time trying to figure out why it won’t work, and just wait for a patch.

2. To make money early on, salvaged data is your best friend. You only need about 35 or so to finish all missions, so sell the rest. 15 data goes for about 730,000, so it’s good early game money.

3. You get nanites for getting to each rendezvous point. These nanites could towards the nanite quest, and will give you about 4,000-5,000 just for getting all 5 rendezvous.

4. If your game says that your expedition has ended, with the only option to convert into a normal save, close nms and re open your save. Some people don’t lose their save if they press yes, but others do, so just stay on the safe side.

5. You can get to rendezvous 5 with just the hyperdrive upgrades provided by quests. You don’t need to farm nanites for upgrades.

6. Don’t play on multiplayer. It’s super bugged right now and I’d leading to tons of crashes and lost progress. I have played from the starting planet to RV5 without multiplayer on, and my game has never crashed or had any terrible bugs. This will hopefully be fixed soon.

7. You can do missions from any phase no matter what phase you are in. If you are in a convenient spot for a higher phase mission, you can do it to save future you time and energy.

8. For the farming quest, it counts if you harvest plants from other peoples bases. If you are feeling helpful, make a large farm in your base to assist travelers.

9. Lots of technology blueprints are rewards for quests. Before spending nanites in the anomaly, check to see if you could get it for free.

10. The “Buy an A-class ship” quest’s reward is a nice S-class explorer. Grab any A-class early on to get a pretty helpful and cool looking ship.

11. Save regularly. This goes for all game modes, but expeditions has been bugged and crashes for many people. Keep your progress safe.

12. RV1 is an amazing planet for later on quests, including “walk 10,000u on extreme worlds”, and “Gather 50 storm crystals”. Complete these early for nice rewards early game.

13. Inventory upgrades can get Beverly expensive for early-mid game players. Many quests reward you with free inventory upgrades, so take advantage of that.

14. Since ship fighting is not required of any quests, getting an explorer is the most helpful, as it can get you to the next rendezvous faster and cheaper.

15. Early on, make a base next to a trade center or minor settlement. Launch fuel is one of the most annoying things to get early game, so free launches near your base is always nice. You also get a galactic trade terminal, multitool box, and technology trader just outside ur base.

16. Make cool bases! As you progress past RV2, the number of bases drops off immediately. As more people get further in the expedition, the number of bases is sure to go up, but it’s very barren out there.

17. Start the frigate quest as soon as you can. It is the only quest that will take longer than a day, and can take up to 3-4 days, if you don’t do it effectively. It’s good to get a head start on it.

These are just some tips I picked up along my way through the expedition. If any newer players have any questions, just ask below. If any players in the same situation as me have anything else to add, or noticed something incorrect in my post, let me know below. Have fun exploring, travelers!
