Obligatory notice: I play on Nintendo Switch. Now that I can do Nexus missions and earn quicksilver, are there recommendations on what I should work towards? I like that for most of the items I have to spend several days to get enough banked to buy stuff, but it makes me hyper-aware that I should be wise about it.

Like I already got the egg to get a living ship (love it!) and the -null- bobblehead because better shields seems like a nice thing to do for my ship, but what now? do I get more exhaust trails? Do I get more bobbleheads? What about the other backpack, I’m getting real tired looking at the default one.

I’d be very curious to hear about what order people picked things up in, or what made them make the choices they did. Anyone feel like sharing their preferred buys?

    There are a few different eggs, maybe see if anyone in the community can gift you them to save you spending quicksilver on those.

    I’m away from my pc for a couple of weeks so can’t help atm, but can get anything that’s transferrable when I’m back (I don’t like grinding so tweaked how much QS my save has)

      Given that I’m on a Nintendo Switch I don’t think I can get any gifts from other players. I may be wrong about that, I didn’t even know Switch players could finally get Nexus missions until I started playing again a couple weeks ago. Still, I think it speaks well of the game, and the community of players it has attracted that a lot of the tips & tricks I see around include something like “hang around on the space anomaly to get generous gifts from other players”.

      More eggs though, that’d be your recommendation on something worth saving up for and spending that quicksilver on?

        Wow, didn’t realise you couldn’t swap between platforms, I have been seeing the occasional error message recently when trying to gift ‘teleport status incompatible’ so I wonder if that’s why?

    Swamp planet mud hut (it’s a single-piece storm shelter you can work into some interesting builds), armored set and whatever helmets looked cool, then all the other building stuff because there’s no such thing as too many options. Jetpack and ship trails are cool but each expedition introduced new ones that I’ve liked more.
