Unlocking the purple systems should be account wide

[Pax]

I have it unlocked on my main save. And just finished the expedition on a new abandoned mode save got the wraith ship and made a extra copy of the drive just in case to put on another ship. When I took my abandoned save out of the completed expedition I can't see the purple systems and understand why But.

In the expedition I did not need the tech item to see purple systems so not sure why that mode is locked out forever and fell it will be added someday makes no sense why it is not.

I think using a expeditions to get items like freighter and upgrades is a cool idea. I also have a perma death save and don't want to do the quest again.

The expedition is a preview, Everything is there waiting for you to finish the appropriate quests to open up the purple planets, just like for everyone else. You don't get to use the expedition as a workaround or short cut. If you play in abandoned mode then you may not have access to everything other folks do but then you have chosen a specialty mode which folks seem to like until they don't find it convenient. Same with permadeath. Want it tough until it's inconvenient.

You might have to make choices and spend a bit of time leveling up your saves, much like other games. Folks always want more content, more reason to play - then they complain about everything not being given to them instantly. It's a no winner, no chicken dinner. LOL

Both my main and perma saves are maxed out in every way possible and I am bored to tears with them. But adding a new mode and improved systems at same time and not making them available together is dumb least add those items too the expedition quick silver merchant you can still access them in abandon mode, This mode is how the game should be played for immersion but there a few bugs with it like merchants coming in space then pop gone or the quest for settlers or staffs floating in anomaly.

Why is there so much whining about this. It's not that hard, it doesn't take that long to do the questlines. It's a game, not a TV show. Play it.

Agree and disagree.

My first time through the Artemis chain seemed extremely long and painful. I swear it took a month.

Now I can breeze through it in about 5 hours.

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. That first time is a slog, but once you know what you're doing, it's fairly simple... but still a bit annoying.

A big help from HG would be to make it so the log switches to the proper quest. It's better now, but the log used to auto-switch between quests and irrelevant activities non.stop. Next thing you know, you're stuck upgrading your base for 2 weeks, even though it you could've stopped after 4 steps/30 minutes in base building...

I said I already did the quest on my main save and can now visit the purple systems. I wanted to explore the purple systems on a abandon save. I even went to purple systems with that abandon save in the expedition but when completing it for the second time the expedition I still am not allowed to see the systems on my abandon save can on main. And no amount of work will ever unlock this new feature for me.

I suspect that this was just another bug by HG and they didn't actually intend it that way
They probably just forgot to set the ‘showpurples’ flag back to 0 after the expedition has been converted to normal again ...With the result of this discussion now ...
New players who have just started are happy :)

I would hate having all of that unlocked Account wide, because it removes the ability to play through it again, and makes all the other saves irrelevant because there's noting to do.

I also hate that Quicksilver rewards are unlocked account wide, because I don't have to earn those in my other saves.

If that's not currently possible I'm absolutely sure it will be implemented/fixed soon. Be patient. They bit off a bit more than they can chew with W2 & are obviously scrambling to catch up.

What exactly stops you from exploring purple systems, doing the questlines on an abandoned save? Is it part of being abandoned or folks just not wanting to bother? If it's part of being abandoned that seems legit, unavailable or is it merely inconvenient?

There is no Artemis>Atlas>Autophage questline because there are no NPCs

Interesting quandary.

Aye Figured doing the expedition would unlock it. I took the save into the expedition and brought the wraith ship fully upgraded with a purple drive back with me. I could be wrong about this whole mode but after playing it there is no going back. Miss my freighter though still playing it wanted to make a new base on a gas giant.

[UNBREAKABLE]

There's a mod to unlock purple systems for those that really want it. You have to set your hyperdrive restrictions to free in your difficulty settings though since this doesn't give the drive.

Learning words should be as well.

And tutorial quests like overseer and artemis should be skippable.

Yes, artemis quest line is a tutorial.
