<!-- skill: No Man's Sky | version: 1.0.0 | description: Expeditions base power freighters and unit nanite farms | category: Games -->
## Instructions
- Play current update (Omega/Worlds); start Expedition from anomaly terminal for exclusive rewards + fast unlocks.
- Clear Expedition phases in order: 1 suit+ship, 2 base+exocraft, 3 galaxy warp, 4 combat, 5 final rendezvous — 15hrs.
- Power bases with solar + battery loop (day ratio 2:1) or EM hotspots; wire with switches for night logic.
- Build freighter fleet: S-class capital via pirate battle warp, 30 frigates balanced combat/trade/explore, daily missions.
- Farm units via Activated Indium + chlorine expansion (30M/hr) or starship scrap S-class flipping at stations.
- Farm nanites via Runaway Mould + refiner dupe (curious deposit loop) or Derelict freighter + larval cores.
- Unlock portals via Artemis + Apollo quests; glyphs from travellers graves — 16 glyphs for address sharing.
- Manage inventory: 120 exosuit tech+ cargo, freighter 60 slots bulk, starship 6-ship fleet per role (fighter/hauler).
- Play multiplayer Nexus missions for Quicksilver + weekend expedition redux rewards (Echoes gear).
- Backup saves via manual slot 2 + cloud; avoid portal + base claim bug by exiting ship before autosave.
- Optimize settings: DLSS quality, terrain tessellation low for 60fps, FOV 90, vignette off for visibility.
- Track update resets: universe reset wipes bases — screenshot portal address + store mats in freighter pre-patch.

## Examples
- Example 1: "broke early" -> chlorine expansion 2 refiners, Indium farm 10 extractors, sell at space station -30% bonus.
- Example 2: "no nanites" -> mould farm 10 balls + refiner loop 5k/30min, cook + sell Pugneum stacks.
- Example 3: "expedition stuck phase 3" -> warp 800ly via freighter jump, rendezvous icon galaxy map yellow path.

## Workflows
- Expedition workflow: Copy main save -> start expedition -> rush phases with pre-made units/nanites -> claim main rewards.
- Base workflow: Claim hotspot -> power EM+solar -> extractors -> storage silos -> supply loop -> portal nearby.
- Freighter workflow: Pirate battle warp 5x -> S-class inspect -> buy -> recruit frigates -> daily 5 missions.
- Farm workflow: Mould balls collect 10 -> refiner nanites -> sell upgrades -> units to Indium loop.

## Templates
- Base power recipe: 4 solar + 3 battery per 100kPs night sustain; EM 200+ hotspot 4 extractors.
- Farm rates: Indium 1k/hr ~20M | Chlorine x6 loop 10M/hr | Mould 4k nanites/hr.
- Expedition checklist: [ ] 5 phases [ ] rendezvous 5/5 [ ] optional craft [ ] main-save redeem [ ] patch read.
- Fleet comp: 10 combat S, 8 trade, 7 explore, 5 mining + fuel 200 tonnes frigate fuel craft.

## Tools
- Maps: NMS Coordinate Exchange glyph addresses, resource hotspot survey tool.

- Flip S-class ships: reload station autosave, compare stats/ slots, scrap for 5 storage augments profit.
- Automate Stasis Device craft loop (10 farms linked via supply depots) for 100M/day passive.
- Hunt living ships via Void Egg + 5 starbirth missions timed 24hr cycles with portal coordinates.
- Farm sentinel interceptors with harmonic camp + brain swap loop for S-class free ships.
