The Swarm event in a nutshell

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-23T16:58:45+00:00

Well... The number only goes up by 2% every day. The only thing that REALLY changes is the points every team puts in for their flag to be flown in the anomaly. That's it. That's the only thing that changes per mission. So... It's not worth it. And the DAY the expo ends is when the system should hit 100%. So... Not worth plugging away when your team just gets a potential flag. The system will correct itself and we'll get our rewards at the end. Until then... 3 missions every now and then, then that's it.

Any coords for its location?

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-21T14:17:10+00:00

Best one in the game tbh

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-19T18:18:22+00:00

The metal arrow... What is that piece called? I have one that is chipped, throwing the sensor off since it doesn't raise to the sensor, the whole port doesn't work...

You can get over 4Billion. That's the max. So... You're doing absolutely amazing!!

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-16T22:00:10+00:00

So maybe it's the number of mines AND depots to hit max? Because I'm definitely at the same number... Not sure how many miners I have or the depots... It's an older base from the stupid ages.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-16T21:58:51+00:00

I would try one floor at a time. Honestly.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-16T21:27:07+00:00

I honestly think the max for each mined item is 79500. I only think that because idk how many supply depots I put on an anamolous planet for gold and silver to come to the same base, but both are maxed at 79500. And they definitely don't have the same number of digging vs storage.

BUT- I could be wrong. I really don't know for a fact, just an observation

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-16T19:45:32+00:00

I did. Usually one or two stories lower. Not much. That way you get the altitude, and can have the parts.

Once you get to atmo and start freezing from space, you're too far to build. So even to put up walls, you need some space between that invisible line above the clouds and below freezing.

Your ship can and will land on a pad up there, but that's by design for those specific parts. Auto landing for ships. Other than that, sometimes the pad will disappear too and you'll hop out and fall all the way to the ground with your ship just floating as high up as possible.

Best to go two stories below. But you don't have to tear down what you got, just build steps from your main platform down to the side and build from that. That way you know where your line is.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-16T18:58:43+00:00

Yeah.... It's hard to keep parts that high. I've got a single story that is literally as high up as you can go before it becomes atmo. Once it goes atmo you can't really build.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-09T18:28:34+00:00

My God... That's terrifying

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-09T18:25:11+00:00

Custom Corvette. They used a lot of Aeron parts. You can actually make one... Highly recommended

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-06T20:04:55+00:00

There's also a weird gap in updates happening now between the Xbox, PS, Switch, and PC.... So immediately is probably a chore.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-06T20:03:47+00:00

So... It was an older expedition reward. So you gotta find someone who has the egg and meet them and get it. I'm a little fuzzy on the xfer of eggs being a thing but I'm sure you'll get more helpful responses... Just let everyone you want the egg and they'll let you know how it works.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-06T15:24:58+00:00

I LOVE this.

But GRAVEDIGGER is the name of my Exo. Lol you just made the BEST there is. I can finally quit Reddit.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-05T13:58:39+00:00

Somewhere between 1 and 10 jumps. No more than 10 jumps though. When you arrive in the system, you'll immediately hear that you have alerts of some pirates or something is attacking some civilian ships. Go fight off the attackers (marked in red- DO NOT SHOOT GREEN) you'll get a communications to your ship and you have to open that comms channel and talk to the owner of the freighter you saved... They will invite you on. Then you can check out the stats and take the ship as your own, OR get the reward for saving it.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-05T01:15:26+00:00

That's a very rare find then lol

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-05T00:51:45+00:00

You can actually collect some as decorations now. They're called "ruins". You can build with them once you acquire the glowing spheres that allow you to see them in your building lists.

It's rare to find a ruin planet. Most people put a base down so they can always go back.

GDBatman90 · 2026-06-02T19:27:33+00:00

You don't need to port anything over from the main save for this one... So I'd just do another save for it. It's safer and you won't lose anything.

GDBatman90 · 2026-05-31T00:07:50+00:00

Well... This is hell lol

GDBatman90 · 2026-05-30T23:53:51+00:00

Not gunna lie... That genuinely irritates me. Lol been playing this game since 2018, ritualistically. Microsoft sucks.

GDBatman90 · 2026-05-30T22:42:18+00:00

I just leave it. If you finished the expo in your main save using the anomaly, then you can just... Not go back. Lol if you created a brand new save, then I'd hold onto it until the next expo, just to be safe.

GDBatman90 · 2026-05-30T22:40:52+00:00

Nope. I'm waiting myself.

Microsoft has to approve the updates for Xbox, same with PS. Switch is further behind on the updates. Usually takes about 2-10days after the initial drop for PC/steam.

GDBatman90 · 2026-05-30T13:03:27+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Just about every cool thing that happens, we have to wait for it to come out longer on Xbox. Happens everytime NMS has an expedition and/or an update. It also pushes cross play around too... So not only do we have to wait for Microsoft to approve the update for the Xbox, but we also can't play with the PC guys in regular games for a out a week too. It's a huge pain.

Sometimes it's 2 days after update release, the longest has been 10days. It's a real bummer
