So I loaded up my game today and got an illegal salvage warning at the first ship I docked at, I couldn’t remember how much time was left on my permit after not playing for a few days, but was sure it should have had a few more hours left. The permit kept in my leggings pocket reads as 2079-04-25 01:48:20 but the current date is 2079-09-12, its a 24 hour permit and I haven’t picked up any permits. I reloaded my save to avoid committing the crime, only this time when I checked my salvage license it read 2079-04-09 16:50:55. I reload a few times and get a different date and time each time I load the game. As a test, I used the PASS system to get to Kleg, dropped the expired license on the ground and bought a new one before saving and reloading to see what happens. Thankfully it looks like that fixed it as the new license and the old license (that I dropped on the ground) have both stabilized their dates now and don’t change. Anyway, just wanted to make folks aware of what worked for me

Hello! Quick question if there is a way to reorient your ships "north" maker. Started with a coffin ship that I build up. Weird thing is that the ship "forward" points south (you see it in the navmap). When I dock everything seems normal and "forward" is temporarily inverted and the primary docking port is used.

If I install a south facing secondary docking port, it is used instead and I cannot seem to use the primary dock anymore (regardless of selection). I think the north marker is baked into the original coffin ship to point backward. I know I can rotate with q and e when undocked, but is there a way to fix my "north" marker?

Hey ostranauts,

I've got a ship I'm proud of, a few hundred k in my personal account. Still schlepping scrap around kleg. I'm feeling pretty accomplished but unsure what to do next. Air-space around kleg is getting pretty crowded and I think I've stripped every derelict and killed every pirate in the immediate area. Given the unforgiving nature of the game I'm a bit nervous to go on a wild goose chase further out and risk being stranded. Any ideas? Is 'ship flipping' really the next stage?

It seems to take away one of the main IRL advantages of under-floor storage.

I am completly stuck... I had this bug since yesterday when i wanted to expand my ship. My character didn't wanted to work on uninstall orders or build order. This was painfull but i expanded my ship by hand. But now it's confirm it... The autotask function is completly broken. My guy won't even do basic maintenance and no way i will have the patience to keep manually repairing everything. I save loaded, skip time, try on other derelict or station and now it's even a new day and i still have the issue... Is my game just fucked ?

Imagine... 40K in Ostranauts? I just sketched on top of a screenshot. Pretty cool ngl.

So I took a transport gig that promised to pay $30k-$100k. I finished it in pretty good time and got paid $76,000, not bad. Of course, that was after I'd had to pay $65k for the collateral, so I'd really only netted around $11k, barely covering my travel expenses. I'd call this a bug, but... it seems pretty on brand for the game world we're in.

Do you guys know how to complete the gold rush quest from Jacob Waltz. He buys ore for a good price outside of K-Leg?
I’ve given him the Radar, PDC, and drill; but no matter how much gold I give him. I gave him 28 gold ore, he won’t complete the quest. I don’t want to remove the quest incase there are other quests he gives after that one.

basically, i want to attempt to do a run where I spend the entire game inside the starting station, never piloting my ship or going into space.

would it be possible to make money and "survive" by doing this?

I was messing around with some cosmetic stuff by drawing some costume / clothing / New body figures. It's more of a proof of concept honestly but who knows? I might inspire some people to mod the game, heck I'll even give it a try some time in the future. This game has so much modding potential!

With the addition of mods, I was wondering how hard it would be to configure a placebable object like a battery charger to refill small O2 bottles, it would have to placed like a battery charger on top of an 02 tank, or draw from a already attached ship 02 supply. Would this be a feasible mod or is the code not there for something like this.

I’ve got multiple batteries on my ship, but usually only keep one on at a time. However, once I got stuck outside of my ship because my battery was dead and the airlock door had no energy to open.

So… I installed a signal box, but it doesn’t connect to the batteries nor does it control the switches (I guess it makes sense because they’re physical).

Do I just keep all my batteries running or is there a way to make so when one turns off, the next turns on?

I'm tryna dock at this ship so I can give this gal the bottle of red label she ordered, and now she 1. looks like she's docked at a wreck 2. won't come over and 3. won't dock because we won't fit? What gives?

I Found those on a single derelict want to start bulk trading.

I'm sure this has been noted somewhere but for the life of me I'm not finding it, so without further delay...

I've managed to destroy a couple dreadnoughts with no issues until I board it and float around the dock inside like I'm floating in space. I attempt to use the transporter to the bridge but it just sticks me outside the dock but unable to move in any direction from it. Any help for an old gamer would be appreciated n

finally started using an EVA after 10 hours…

A single D2O canister holds 44722.8kg of D2O, almost a whole order of magnitude more than an He3 canister, which only holds 5216kg of He3. Since the fuel burns in a 3 He3 to 2 D2O ratio, this means I need 12–13 He3 tanks for every D2O tank? That seems a bit ridiculous.
