I was three minutes from abandoning a red-sand system when the Anomaly pinged and everything changed. You feel that small lurch — like a compass in a storm — that forces you back to your ship and toward the Expedition Terminus. That split second decides whether you walk away or pick up rewards most players miss.
I’ve played every Hello Games expedition since Atlas Rises, and I’ll tell you the straight path through No Man’s Sky’s new Our Journey Continues Expedition from first contact to the Foundations phase. Read fast, follow the markers, and keep a spare save — you’ll thank me later.
The Anomaly fills the spaceport the instant a new expedition launches — First steps at the Anomaly
When the Cosmos update drops its notice, everyone flocks to the Anomaly. You don’t need to race; you need to be methodical.
How do I start the Our Journey Continues Expedition in No Man’s Sky?
- Summon the Anomaly from your ship and dock inside.
- Park your starship and head to the Expedition Terminus at the front of the main complex.
- Accept the expedition at the Terminus. Back up your save before you confirm — this expedition changes progression flags.
The first moments feel small but they set the tone for the whole run — What the opening sequence asks of you
Players usually rush the transmissions; I don’t. Pause, read each log, and collect the items the mission hands you. That restraint saves time later.
Key early tips:
- Repair the Rasamama’s thrusters when prompted so you can launch for the first objective.
- When a Hello Games transmission points you to a Construction Site, press C to reveal the waypoint and interact with the portal to place the base components.
- To trigger Exocraft objectives, build and deploy a Nomad Geobay and register the Exocraft to your base.
Most expeditions are long, but this one stretches like a map across a galaxy — How to complete the Our Journey Continues Expedition
This expedition is one of the lengthier runs Hello Games has shipped: it asks for base work, exploration, fleet tasks, and a mix of inventory objectives. Keep momentum and check your mission log often.
How do I complete No Man’s Sky Our Journey Continues Expedition?
Below is the Foundations (Phase 1) checklist I recorded while playing. Treat it as a living document — I’ll update each entry as new stages arrive.
| Task | How to Complete |
|---|---|
| Launch | Begin the expedition and launch into space for the first time. Repair the Rasamama’s thrusters to get off the ground. |
| Foundation | After launch you’ll receive a transmission. Press C to find the Construction Site, reach it, and interact with the portal to establish your base. Build the provided components; blueprints and materials arrive from the previous step. Once complete you’ll get the next transmission. |
| Pathfinder | Deploy any Exocraft. Construct and place the Nomad Geobay, then return to your ship to trigger the following transmission. |
| Waking Titan | Enter your ship to receive a clue and follow the marker to the source. Collect a keycard, activate the linked portal source, then return to the first source and present the keycard to finish this section. |
| Atlas Rises | Craft the Mind Ark from three parts. With the completed item in your inventory, head to the quest marker and speak with Artemis. |
| Next | Rescue a Frigate under pirate fire and add it to your fleet for free. Build a Fleet Command Room, speak to your navigator, and launch a Fleet Expedition. |
| More will Follow: 1 | Open the Galaxy Map, follow the expedition route to the first rendezvous, and use the Holoterminal to tune into the signal. |
This is only Phase 1. I’ll keep updating stages as Hello Games pushes new transmissions and markers. If you play on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, sync your saves before accepting the expedition — platform-specific save quirks have bitten players in past runs.
