No Man’s Sky is a survival exploration game where you explore many different corners of the universe. In the game’s latest update, the Expedition feature has received some changes that integrate it into the main game. With that said, it’s no longer a separate game mode.
With the new expedition system, players can now join the expeditions and bring along their favorite starships to obtain loot and rewards. Before you do that, the preparation phase is really important. In this guide, we will show you how to get the best start on Expeditions.
How To Get The Best Start On Expeditions
To get the best start on Expeditions, you’ll want to have the right Modules with upgrades that increase your chances of getting resources. There are also many materials that you should bring along that can be really useful as you go on the Expeditions.

Universal Expedition Farm
Sometimes, your Universal Expedition Base can be sinking into the ground. To resolve the problem, simply go to a Save Point and reload it. When you open up the menu, there should be an option that says Reload Restore Point.
If you are unlucky and don’t have Oxygen, you can always use an Oxygen Harvester. This is an Atmosphere Processing Device you can use to create Oxygen. To charge it, you can use Carbon, which is one of the materials that was recommended that you bring to the Expedition.
After collecting all the materials, you can always use the Medium Refiner to process raw materials into useable products and substances. For example, you can use the Cactus Flesh to generate Carbon that you can use for different purposes.
This is also the place where you can farm the Larva Core Eggs. There are some places with monsters that you need to fight and also places where you can pick up these eggs in peace and quiet.
Sentinel Ship & Atlantid Multitools
During your expedition, you can also spot a Sentinel Ship. To help you find it, here are the coordinates: -39.24, -148.70. After you’ve found it, you can choose to either keep it or scrap it for extra resources.
Those are some tips that you can apply to better prepare for the next time you go on an expedition! Once you know how to prepare yourselves, you can start going on long trips to gather multiple kinds of resources.
To learn more about the Sentinel Ship, consider taking a look at the guide. It provides you with a description of what the Sentinel Ship is and things that you can do with it.
