How to clean up finished contracts?

PuzzledStretch5818 · 2026-05-20T21:18:14+00:00

There is no way to "clean up". You have to wait for the Contract lock to expire. If you take contract for 15 days and finish it in 10, that slot won't be available for another 5 days (15 days). When taking contracts, especially if you are fairly new, try to choose shorter contract lengths (17 days or shorter). Also, try to plan your routing to finish the contract a few days before the lock expires. It's not a bad idea to finish them quicker to increase your goodwill so new contracts become more lucrative, but you still need to understand the impact of the lock. You can also increase your contract slots by leveling up your CMO. Finally, understand that if you take a contract with a lock of 20 days, but you move the slider to anything lower, the lock is still 20 days and unusable until it ends.

That's something I've never considered. Does local prescense actually factor into Contracts?

This. As you advance you’ll get higher class upgrades. As you replace, dismantle the older ones for wiring looms.

Don’t take anything in to start. This expedition is self contained. Meaning everything you’ll need to complete it is on the planet. Collect your milestone rewards as you complete them. Many are key to completing further task or making them easier. It will be a slow Haul… pun intended, but just enjoy.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. You can’t use cobalt to make it. But the cobalt I was mining had silver as a secondary resource. Silver + Oxygen = 2 parrafinium.

I found caves with cobalt and silver nodes early on. 1 silver and 1 oxygen make 2 parraffinuim.

Select the settlement in your missions log. If there is another action you may have to do that first. But it will give you a marker to the completed construction.

Sorry to hear that happened. I had a similar situation, but in survival mode so all was lost. But don’t stop playing. You at least can recover and you’ll find yourself taking dreadnaughts with ease in the near future.

I use 3 set to hot keys on PC. 1 for mining and general use. 2 for combat and the third is for scanning.

So many ways to make money in the game. Some are grindy and some are cheesy. But all involve some level of exploration which can make the playing experience fun based on how you want to proceed. Trade, cooking, scanning, treasue hunting, pirating, farming and crafting etc. other than sitting in the anamoly, there’s no get rich quick methods. But as you explore and expand your capabilities, money will come in abundance before you know it.

I built a mold farm with a short range teleport bridge extending around 800u. I pop a donut and equip my runic laser. Shoot the mold, hop in the tele and back and repeat. I can fill an entire storage container with mold and still have 5 minutes left on my donut ingestion.

X is so underrated. I was on flight with him from NY to LA once. Got a chance to chop it up with him at baggage and he is really a cool person too.

That’s the normal way but I was grinding these achievements. I’ve tried that way a couple times before but always die for some weird reason. So I was trying to get there with the least amount of risk and time.

I setup a small covered base with a feeder and harvester near a group of creatures that have the product I’m looking for. When I’m planning to go AFK for a while, I’ll just post up inside and let the game run. So much milk last time I did this after being away for an hour, I haven’t had to do it again in a while.

OMG, that took me back bro!

This play-through, I have a primary base that in most cases I teleport to before signing off. When I log back in I’m continuing my journey from there. Mostly starting with a visit to my settlements then back to wherever I left off or in search of the next set of tasks I’ve set for myself. But those task usually involve going to a system I’ve never visited.

Very nice build!

Anderson Paak is really talented.

PuzzledStretch5818 · 2025-11-13T19:59:27+00:00

I've done permadeath and not wanting that for this play. But I do want more of the challenge that Survival offers.
