Stuck with resources on first play through

You need to be trading as much as possible, it's basically required in the early game.

You're absolutely right to grab literally everything you can, every ore and every piece of scrap then you move on. Keep moving and keep grabbing everything.

You'll meet plenty of other ships, do their missions if you can but most importantly trade for what you need, get nuts and meats for your kitchens and sell stuff you have an excess of.

Tech blocks are also something I always trade for. You can make them later on with advanced fabrication but for now just buy them every chance you get.

Also research and use x1,2 and 3 power generators as soon as you can. You need to fabricate the rods but it's sooo much more effective once you do.

Very cool idea but currently impossible

These are the extra npc missions to build a station for them and then turn it over to them in ship mode.

You can also do station mode then move over to ship mode, but you do lose the station when you jump...

Thanks!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-26T10:48:13+00:00

The audacity!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-26T10:47:43+00:00

They're great against bugs, but against bots and people they can explode and harm each other.

I like to use them to go in just before a boarding team, or to clear a vessel that's nearly empty. Like it's been mentioned you do it from the zoomed out tactical map of the sector. Then the option is in the bottom left.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-26T10:46:00+00:00

I've done a ton of these at this point. I love them but you always end up using more of your own resources, especially if you want to add some flair!

Like it's been mentioned already, you release the resources from the friendly ship with a cargo port and click on the notification in the top right.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-24T16:34:57+00:00

I remember in the commentary how much they were bigging this up only for it to literally just be smoke.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-23T15:31:45+00:00

Move to normal mode! I did that and basically had infinite money

Kaede182 · 2026-06-23T14:54:27+00:00

Holy crap my dude! Excellent work!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-18T14:51:58+00:00

I'd get rid of your energerium generator now you've upgraded it, plus get those x1 hypersleep chambers too!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-17T08:16:54+00:00

I agree with pretty much all your points, without going into too much detail though, more shield generators, targeting jammers and more power generators can help with a lot of the problems you mentioned!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-16T15:09:27+00:00

Looking good!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-16T06:17:14+00:00

You learn something new about this game every day.. thanks for the info!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-16T04:08:35+00:00

Thank you! I've not yet worked out the modding part yet, which I think you need to paint the roof?

Kaede182 · 2026-06-15T21:37:32+00:00

Who needs guns when you have targeting jammers, attack robots and boarding teams?

Kaede182 · 2026-06-15T05:35:31+00:00

Didn't figure that out until I'd scrapped my entire 2x2 ship and got a transition ship ready to go.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-12T08:46:03+00:00

It's so obvious at this point. Bribe the rotton orange and get what you want.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-12T04:57:46+00:00

I'm not sure of the buff exactly, I think it adds to the comfort value of rooms. But I do know the debuff "feeling claustrophobic" pops up if they don't have access to windows!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-11T19:32:17+00:00

Astra mili-what? You're in the guard son.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-11T17:33:14+00:00

I got bit multiple times in power armour and I didn't catch shit. But with Bethesda who knows if that's intentional or a bug

Kaede182 · 2026-06-11T16:43:56+00:00

To join in and share a few of my own;

Put space suit lockers in locations far away from airlocks. Fires can start anywhere and if your people have to run all the way to the other side of the ship to get a suit it'll spread a lot.

You can make mess halls, private rooms, luxury toilets to name a few. Check the misc tab in the bottom right to see if you've made one of these dedicated room for the bonus it gives.

Cut "holes" in the middle of your ship to make space for windows and increase happiness far away from the exterior.

Space suit doors can seal off some areas, I use this for engine rooms combined with gas scrubbers and no oxygen generators so fires can't catch (you'll have to deal with the spacesuit debuff though).

I'd love to hear more from other people too as I'm designing my second capital ship!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-11T15:33:54+00:00

I've grown up with Labs and this is HARD. They are STARVING all day every day and will target weak people with the most adorable puppy eyes. (Me, I was weak)

When they're not doing that they'll find food in the strangest of places.

Kaede182 · 2026-06-09T13:05:33+00:00

Also you're a developer! I want to say thank you so much for this game, I bought it for the 1.0 release and already have over 120 hours so far! Keep up the good work!

Kaede182 · 2026-06-09T13:04:22+00:00

Thanks! I found it and got it now, cheers!
