You should now see whichever Milestone you have selected under the “Secondary Missions” section of the quest log. In this case, that means “Provisions.” Next, move to the Log menu. Then click on the Milestone you want to track. However, there’s a useful trick to get around this.įirst, go to the Expedition tab. Once again, the specific steps of this Milestone are not included in the Expedition menu, nor the Log menu (which normally shows your ongoing objectives). You cannot use raw Sodium and raw Oxygen, respectively, as is usually the case in NMS. Notably, Hazard Protection can only be recharged using Ion Batteries and Life Support can only be recharged using Life Support Gel. You’ll need these to survive the Utopia Expedition as there are other special rules in addition to only being able to craft inside of bases. The next, “Provisions,” asks you to craft some new materials. You should only need to make a very basic “house” consisting of four or five floor tiles, two or three roof tiles, and the walls needed to support them, though. However, each of these will be highlighted by blinking, yellow boxes in your base-building menu when the game wants you to construct them. It’s worth noting that the roof, walls, and flooring aren’t technically mentioned in your objective log. Speaking of Ferrite Dust, by the way, you’ll need some of that for the roof sections.

Then just fire away with your Mining Laser to grab some. While the Analysis Visor is needed to harvest more advanced resources, things like Carbon and Ferrite Dust should show up any time you point your aiming reticle at the appropriate type of matter. You can grab these from the nearby mushrooms and other flora on the starting planet. The latter structures will require Carbon: one of the most basic resources of NMS. Then you can start building flooring, walls, and a ceiling with the same menu. That means you only need to pull up the base-building menu (Z on your keyboard) and place the computer anywhere you like that isn’t already claimed by another player. Players will begin the Expedition with a Base Computer in their inventory.

That makes this the bare minimum requirement for this entire series of missions. This is because, during Expedition 9: Utopia, you will not be able to craft outside of your base. You need to construct a Base Computer and build floors, a wall, and some parts of a roof. The first Milestone in this phase is “Foundation.” Appropriately enough, that includes building a quite literal foundation. Phase 1 – No Man’s Sky: Utopia Expedition With all that in mind, let’s get started! On that note, make sure to always collect your rewards by clicking on any completed Milestone in your Expedition menu! These will provide often vital resources and blueprints to continue the event mission. Though they can be very useful, like the Utopia Speeder available at the very end of this Expedition. Whereas phase rewards - which you receive for completing every Milestone within a phase - are permanent unlocks that you can collect on any NMS save file you create (or already have). Milestone rewards are usually as simple as an Analysis Visor blueprint (which you need in order to scan objects). Our guide will follow these Milestones and phases in “chronological” order, detailing the objectives and rewards as we go. At least until you start to puzzle together which objective needs what. Thus, it’s generally advisable to start with the first Milestone of the first phase. Each phase is then broken down according to Milestones: special objectives that can sometimes be completed in any order, but often require you to complete a previous Milestone to unlock the appropriate blueprints and/or resources for the next stage of the mission. Getting StartedĪs per usual, this Expedition is split into several phase.

You might jump ahead of us and need to wait if you get stuck on a particular milestone or other objective! If so, make sure to check back later for further updates to our Expedition 9: Utopia guide. That means we’ll be updating this guide in real time - starting with Phase 1, moving on to Phase 2, etc. Note: Like our previous Expedition guides, we’ll be playing through the event at the same time as other players. That’s why we’ve created this new guide to each set of steps players must complete to get everything they need! However, NMS Expeditions tend to be some of the more challenging (or at least confusing) content in the game. Many of which - like the Utopia Speeder Starship - are “exclusive” to this event and probably won’t be available again for quite some time. Players have six real-world weeks to complete the unique set of missions and reap the rewards.
