Expeditions save, stuck in death loop

[NeverBuyJack]

Ended up at a player base that kills my player shortly thereafter. Trolled me successfully.

Problem now is that the game saved my character right before spawning there; thus I'm stuck in a death loop. No apparent way out of the ~5 seconds to life I end up with. Short of a patch to the game, any recommendations?

Keep your wits about yourself out there.

Out of curiosity, how did you get into the death loop ? Would like to know so I can avoid it myself.

Big shame though, feel sorry for you

Warped back to the base to get my stuff, but they had placed the gate (unpowered) within the volcano itself.

FWIW, I managed to "get" out of it via modification of my save. Despicable, but not much of a choice. Switching my status from "OnFoot" to "InShip" seemed to do the trick.

Today I've lost a seasonal savegame with 49/50 completed steps because of a bug. Save editor usage isn't "despicable" if such bugs are present in game (wish I knew how to "skip" all those steps I had completed already. The only one I had left - fleet expeditions since they refresh once a day). And now I need to start anew and do it all over again if I want that golden ship.

Another reason I just leave MP off. People get their jollies in the most obnoxious ways.

You are able to save edit the expedition save? I can not see it on the list even on NMS save editor

That's the point. I'm sure it's possible to edit it in a raw format though, but messing with raw is a risky thing to do so I won't mess with it until new version of save editor is live.

Since you cant edit the save file at the moment in expedition
Download WeMod and use the NMS cheats there to speed through the objectives. Will save you alot of hours when re-doing it

Spent a whole day today, now I am at the same spot I was on my former savegame - 49/50, but I speedrunned it and I'm not that tough on this character since I didn't do anything but objectives. Bad I can't send ships faster then once a day - have to wait now; 15 fleet expeditions is sure a pain in the ass (Even worse than 30 explorers guild status).

Btw, this time I got abyssal horror thingy from a space anomaly and not from deep water ruins, that was unexpected and lucky.

yeah i lucked out with the abyssal horror thing on space anomaly too

I find the 60 waypoints to be the biggest grind for me, then next comes the explorer guild thing, you sure have been efficient

My save ive got 12 hours and still didnt do the explorer guild, waypoints and fleet expeditions yet :D

As for waypoints, you have to find an appropriate planet for that, which has plenty of structures around, so when you scan you get a Building icon on a radar, land there, check the waypoint, enter the ship, scan, move to the next one, repeat. SOme planets are better for that, some are worse.
As for explorers - the same, I'm not sure though on what it depends - some stations give more "scan" missions, some go "source items". Also not sure why some stations have +2 and more standing missions and some don't - but as far as I noticed, rich economies aren't usually the best source of those.
My savegame is around 8 hours on it, but I completed everything but the fleet expeditions in around 6:30. But I got advantageous position since I've already done it before the save wipe - I just know what to do and in what order :)

That's a fair point. I wasn't going to wait for a patch/moderation. Felt appropriate. (I used the glitch to fix the glitch, etc.).
