Expedition 18: Relics marks the second expedition in NMS I have attempted to date. I feel like I’ve missed out on quite a bit from skipping them in the past. This one seems to have been the cause of a bit of frustration for several people due to some bugs and issues they’ve run into along the way. My start at the attempt was slow, so I can’t say I’ve encountered any of the aforementioned issues they have. Personally, I’ve been enjoying it and the struggles that comes with the reminder of what early game can be like. It certainly makes you enjoy all those storage slots and tech on your main save all-the-much more!

Stay safe out there Travelers!
