I have just started and look forward to reading your experiences.
Have fun all.
Here where you can find a creature for the Hot Blooded Milestone:
Planetary Address
#
It is the planet Myon XV in the Awarri-Ivnok System. It is a Hello Games system.
Creature to look out for
Here a message from the NMS Discord:
the ‘wonders’ entry only updates with higher values, and the milestone wants 2.5 or lower, so if you scanned any creature with ph above 2.5 it will not be possible to complete at this time
Not sure I understand. Does it only count the first creature you scan on a planet? Or the first creature you scan at all?
I guess in both cases I’ll wait for a fix, even if you get one chance per planet I don’t like these odds.
Here where you can find a creature for the Hunter/Killer Milestone:
Planetary Address
It is the planet Aieus S3 in the Oishida System. It is a Hello Games system.
Nice: on that planet I also found a creature that gave me a wonder for “Largest Auqatic Lifeform” and an aggressive plant for “Longest Lived”.
The creature you want
**
Finding a creature with a pH lower than 2.5 is extremely challenging. Did anyone find one?
Edit: Grammar
Found one! It was the first creature I scanned on this planet which is on the expedition path. Here are two imgur pics, one with the portal coords, one with the creature that got me the achievement.
I saw that the issue has been fixed so I just travelled here. I hadn’t been here before so scanned this creature as a new discovery. I now finally have the achievement, thanks!
I just went there and strangely enough the achievement didn’t trigger. I had that planet on my list of scanned planets already, though.
Ah that’s a shame, I’m guessing you might have scanned it already?
Hopefully they manage to fix the bug long before the expedition ends. I’ve had to leave my setup behind for a few days and can’t wait to get back exploring.
Nice. Now we must just hold off scanning this one until this bug is fixed.
After doing some searching around it seems that unfortunately the ph level milestone is bugged.
The milestone and wonders page is actually tracking the highest ph instead of the lowest ph. I can confirm this with my own experience, my lowest ph was 3.6, I scanned another animal and got a message saying new record low but the ph level went UP to 4.2. I then scanned another animal and got the message again saying new record low and the ph level went up again to 4.3.
The only way to get this milestone done at the moment is to make sure that the very first animal you scan on a toxic planet has a ph below 2.5, otherwise you’re screwed. Hopefully they’ll patch this at some point.
I’ve seen ppl encountering this bug on xbox, PlayStation and PC, don’t know about switch but I would assume they have the bug too. Apparently if you’re on PC you can use a save editor to reset the wonder and then go to a planet where you know there is an animal with a ph below 2.5 and scan it first. Not tried that myself as I’m on Xbox.
I noticed that too. The first animal I scanned was 2.7 and it’s only recorded higher values from there.
This Expedition has been kind of annoying and the rewards aren’t even that good. 🤷♂️
Done with the expedition. Except the pH one.
Waiting for a fix now. The upcoming patch doesn’t seem to have it yet.
Thanks. I am affected. Need to wait for the fix.
Some of these values I don’t see anywhere in the HUD when scanning. Where is the pH level? Or the aggression level? Or the horology ratio of planets?
It’s not in the analysis visor info. You can only see these values if it’s a record, then it gets recorded to the wonders section in the pause menu.
Also, if you select the milestone as your current mission it will show you your current record in the bottom right of the HUD.
No. That and finding a hostile planet are the only 2 things I have left to do. I’ve visited dozens and dozens of systems.
Let me know if you find either of those.
Found a hostile planet which qualifies:
Eissentam galaxy, of course.
Also, be careful. It has aggressive sentinels waiting at every corner. So best to land, get out of the ship, feel extremely hot and get back into the cosy ship. Leave and hope no one saw that.
Will do. If anyone finds these ones, post a planetary address, please. Can’t promise I’ll use it, but I don’t want to fail this expedition. So maybe. 😄
Am looking primarily in green systems. There’s a toxic planet in almost all of them.
Edit: Found a hostile planet
If anyone else is still missing the tall herbivore, there is one on Efkad, planet of the Sivikmiyn I system (it’s a rendezvous system, so you had to pass through it).
You’re looking for a big gray insect creature with hairy legs and a thorax/head a bit like a mantis. It’s rare, lives on ground, and is always active.
