How exactly do I transfer items/ship from Expedition save to my Main save? o_O

(This question is regarding loot and ships you find on the way during the expedition, and some of the rewards)

Right, so if I follow the guide its this:
"To be able to carry over all of your technology and cargo from your Expedition to your main save in No Man’s Sky, you will need to follow these steps:

*Make sure you have completed all the objectives that the phases have to offer.
*Once you have unlocked the rewards, make your way to the Space Anomaly and then unequip all the spaceship and exosuit upgrades that you have on.
*Move the upgrades to the exosuit inventory, then head to the Expedition Terminus after exiting your spaceship.
*Access the Terminus and choose “End Expedition” and click on “Accept”.
*Once the Expedition ends, head back to your main save and you will be able to select which Technology and Cargo you want to carry over.
*Do keep in mind that you will only be able to transfer 8 technologies and 24 items from your Cargo inventory. Fortunately, all of the other expedition rewards will be accessible by your main save as long as you have unlocked and claimed them by completing the various milestones.

Each Expedition has a lot of amazing and unique rewards on offer. However, traditionally, Nanites, Units, and Quicksilver are always a core part of the rewards list."


But no matter how many times I walk up to that darn expedition terminal, it wont give me an option to transfer the stuff. On my "expedition save" I will only get up a meny that the epxedition is done and that a new expedition will soon come, and if I change to my main save I only see an option to start the expedition a new.
So far when there is a new expedition released, I've thought I need to start a new save and select "Expedition" in the main meny to get started on the expedition, but am I really supposed to only logg in on my main save and start the expedition that way to be able to transfer the items/ships I collect during the expedition?
All my earlier expeditions have had the same error, that I cant transfer all the good stuff and end up with only the specific expedition rewards you can collect. :/

The transfer is only possible if you started the expedition in your regular playthrough from that terminal. If you started it as a new slot from the main menu of the game, you cannot transfer things to an (entirely different) save slot.

When an expedition is running that you want to complete and have the option for transfers, you need to load your regular playthrough and once you are inside of that playthrough, call up the anomaly and go to that terminal. From that terminal, you can start the expedition. If you start it that way, you will have the transfer options.

There is no wrong, just a different option. Some folks like to do the new save so they don't have to fuss around with putting items in and remembering to take them out again once they can access the Anomaly in the Expo. You pretty much get everything you need by just doing the expedition. Some folks like the option to have some QOL items available once they complete the first warp/or portal in this case.

In my experience, the player bases provide plenty of stuff so you really don't need to add that much. Harder to find things might be frigate salvage deals (for if and when you get a freighter), repair kits, and oxy...although you usually find a base that gives your thousands of units of oxy pretty early on.
