Sounds like you guys and gals been having fun! I am finally home and ready to dig in. 
Just now got to watch the trailer…we have Golems now?

They’re here to ruins our day 
It just occured to me…
There’s a LOT of variety for these new bones and probably millions of combinations as a result…
There’s also a new bone creature roaming the planets. The sensible thing, from a time/resources perspective, would be the reuse of bone assets across both the built and living bone folk.
Which means this new bone creature could have the most variance of all the creatures currently in the game.
There are so many head variants you guys 
their names are also all fantastic to read.

Refresh my memory @toddumptious . What is considered Deep Water?

The opening promo video shows that cyan orb that is close to one in the Light No Fire teaser video.
I expect we’ll see more of that as time goes on… Technique used in both games.

For collosal fish I think it’s 50u or more but they changed those values for gas giants.
Is this about the patch notes saying they’ve stopped your pet peeve of fish being generated in discoveries on planets with water not deep enough?

Just a need to catch the bone fish in the expedition

I haven’t started the expedition yet, I just bought the first fossil display stand (what was it called?) and looked at the new fossil store under the stairs in the space station. It was strange, he seemed to have almost every part for sale, pages after pages (usually each store just has samples).
Then I looked at my records and discoveries and 90% of all fossils show up as discovered (which is far from true, unless they are the old ones from before the update, that looked different)?
At the same time, my main account seemingly has zero plant and mineral discoveries (only planets and animals) which can’t be because I scan everything obsessively. Do these things work for you?

I had the same experience, store had 130 parts, they all show up in my discovered fossils list but I didn’t buy any of em.
I didn’t check the fossil list before this so I don’t know if it was always this way, or only after visiting the store.
It does seem like I have yet to see all, so maybe wbile the store has many, there are a few rare that don’t show up as often, or perhaps can only be found at dig sites?

Hmmm…
“Bones and fossils can indeed be considered relics depending on the context. Fossils, for example, are ancient remains or impressions of organisms that provide invaluable insight into Earth’s prehistoric life. They are relics of geological and biological history, holding scientific and educational significance. Similarly, bones can qualify as relics, particularly when tied to historical events, archaeological discoveries, or even religious traditions, like the remains of saints venerated in certain faiths.”
"Bones unearthed during an archaeological dig are typically considered artifacts, rather than fossils. Archaeology focuses on studying human history and cultures, so bones found in such digs usually belong to relatively recent human remains or animals associated with human activity.
Fossils, on the other hand, are ancient remains of plants, animals, or other organisms that have undergone a process of mineralization or preservation over millions of years. They’re studied in the field of paleontology, which deals with Earth’s prehistoric life.
So, while both bones and fossils provide invaluable insights into the past, they belong to different categories and are studied in distinct scientific contexts."
I see that the downloaded files from the release page refer to fossils. Other parts of the online info refer to “artefact.”
I give up. Let’s just enjoy “whatever they are.” 
BTW, it’s interesting that several of the downloaded images are named, “sean-pc…” whereas others have an item-specific name. Maybe screenshot vs. edited images?

I just did a big ole bumb ass thing. Is there a way to restart the expedition

Did you sell your first dig before bringing it to the paleo society?
That’s the only big oh no I can think of. Maybe you can find another ancient site and dig another one?

No. Rookie mistake. I have no hyperdrive. And no way to summon the anomaly because I never jumped. So no way to buy BP for a hyperdrive
I need a wrecked ship in the first system…or do they not have hyperdrives either?

I don’t know if there is a way to end early, return to main save, and start again. Someone chime in if there is 
You could leave the expedition with your main via the options menu and wait for it to finish, and start it with a fresh save in the meantime like the before times when that was how you expedition’d if it seems more appealing than figuring out your hyperdrive woes. Did you also delete the purple system drive upgrade?

My starter ship came with a hyperdrive. One of my early tasks was to make a warp cell for it. Sounds like you have a bug.
And you can replay an expedition as many times as you like within the time limit, So I would restart, and make sure I have a hyperdrive from the get-go.

No no. No bug. Stupidity. I wanted a different ship. I forgot to bring the hyperdrive. And the expedition has apparently fixed it so no other ships have one…reporting it as a bug

I haven’t looked lately but if the system is not abandoned you might be able to buy a ship in the station with a hyperdrive, however you need one with the purple drive so even making it to the anomaly might not help.

I started the expedition from the anomaly - I brought some stasis devices with me, which I sold after my first jump - my intention was to buy a better ship. I stopped at every space station on the way to the first rendezvous, and there were no traders. I haven’t seen any ships in planetary atmosphere. So far, I haven’t seen any other ships at all.

I bought this ship in the space station. None of the ships have hyperdrives. They do have the purple drive…but no hyperdrive.
In the meantime, I did as @toddumptious suggested. I started a new game and entered the expedition. This means my main save is stuck until the expedition ends…

One more idea that might work would be to join the game with another (especially if you have two accounts) and have them buy a ship. In the past that would leave their ship available to buy. Cargo didn’t transfer, but I don’t remember if tech was stripped bare or not.
