Expedition 3 in No Man's Sky

In case you didn't know (I certainly didn't know at first), Expedition 3 is now live in No Man's Sky. It offers a lot of plants that you can add to your base, so I definitely wanted the rewards unlocked on my account. It should be available for another month, but it definitely takes many hours to complete. I maybe spent 14 hours in my winning playthrough?  But I'm easily distracted by exploration.

It has bugs.

If you watch Twitch streaming today (and tomorrow) for a little while, you can earn some unlocks for rewards in-game. I missed the first 3 days of it, because... who knew?  It's stuff you can earn on your own.  There's nothing unique to Twitch or this Expedition 3, so it's just a convenience. Be sure to pick a Twitch video stream that says "Drops Enabled".
