No. You can use the save editor to cheat them in, though

You can't replay the old expeditions unless the devs have another event where they make them replayable. You can, however, get the rewards without playing the expeditions using a save editor, but you need to wait for it to be updated.

no, it is not possible unless HG bring them around again like they did at the end of 2021 with the Exp 1-4 redux ones...

am I the only one that thinks it is so stupid to make a new update adding new features but then having them locked forever becasue you didn't play at certain time? Like I wanted to have a robot companion but that is a expedition reward. I will never be able to get it.

Of course you can get one. AFAIK they lay eggs as all the other pets. I can check in a few days, when I’m home again

I am talking about the robot dog, the one that appears when having 3 star bounty when fighting the drones. I saw that to get the robot dog as a companion you get it as an expedition reward. Am I wrong?

The robot dog is an Expedition reward. However it will lay eggs (robot egg?) And someone can gift you an egg.

It is likely the Expeditions will return in the fall after the Switch released. But that is speculation on my part.

You have a slight mix up but you are right in general. You can ask for a robot companion egg on the nms sub Reddit, or remind me in a week when I’m back at my pc

that is what I mean. If a new players buy the game like in 2 weeks in the future (just an example) he/she will be locked from all the content of old expeditions. Players will not be able to gain access to unique items. I understand if the item was locked by progress, where you need to play to get certain item, but to locked forever and just a few manages to get the item leaving the mayority of players just hanging there without being able to get the item they want.

They already did one replay of Expeditions last winter, 99% chance they will do that again after the Switch launch.

Be patient.

There are a few tricks to get them to run, look them up in the guides. They involve fiddling with your PC time and date though as well as put the game in complete offline ;)

And since most likely a lot are lazy: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2489805375

Last i checked it was as simple as setting your computer date/clock to match the original time of the expedition, at least thats how i did it last year.

Dont even need to edit any files.

I'm hoping they eventually make them permanently available via the Nexus.

This kinda sucks. It's typical FOMO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Locking players out of content just because they did not even have the game at the time, or didn't have time to play, is a stupid approach. I hate it in all other games that do it (mostly live-service games like Destiny etc.), and I hate it here. Thank god there is still an insane amount of free stuff to enjoy.
