Only the highest. That's why basically the minmax way to do it is to have your bedroom stuff in a "luxury bedroom" and everything else in a reactor room, since they have the highest multipliers. Kind of a bummer honestly. With that said the biggest boost you get from flipping a ship is a 3x price hike simply for adding an O2 can, pump and O2 sensor if it doesn't already have one.

@@YourAJ1776 I'll just pretend I need to have more rooms and extra parts that don't actually give more profit, that way Im not going full meta, but I can still make a good chunk of change.

Starsector is dope AF!!! As soon as the next update drops, I'm going to binge it.

@@1Glotzer1 Good question. You can use the console codes in the video to test and find out. Sorry I left that quest way back in the rear view.

LOL that's wild

I believe so, but the use cases are pretty rare. I'm 99% sure I did this to keep my ship and a derelict from crashing into Venus.

Not game-breaking in the least! The "game" from EA launch up to now has been 99% salvaging ships in the vicinity of OKLG. As long as you can keep doing that without getting bored, you'll be fine. I've done that for like 500 hours total since EA launch. The problem is when you start expecting the game to be more than it is. It's going to be a trading simulation eventually but that was only recently introduced and it obviously hasn't been balanced at all.

@YourAJ1776 are there going to be stuff like exploration, mining or spaceship combat planned in future development? I'd really like to try playing this game but the months between the end and start of every year is a busy time for me. All the free time I have is either to watch let's play video or sleep. Getting older when I'm exhausted I often get headaches.😅

It's a bug, you retard. If you trade enough the price goes to zero and then negative. Some of us know how numbers work. Pathetic attempt at trolling. You'd know this if you had actually played the game.

Yep. There are a bunch of annoying sub-tasks but that's it. The main thing people seem to struggle with is to remember to install an o2 can, pump and o2 sensor. That alone triples the end price.

Awesome advice! Thanks a lot! I'll add them to my watch laters. And Merry Christmas!!! <3

@@IanEdmonds Ooooof! What did you do to improve the rig and what was the original price? Margins are tighter for smaller ships but I've never LOST money flipping 💀

@YourAJ1776 don't remember specifically, but I think purchase price was about 400k for a small 0 room ship (about the size of the starter ship). Added a nav console, bedroom, air, and thrust and got about 250k

@@IanEdmonds Did you make the bedroom big enough to count as one? Make sure to add storage bin? If you didn't see "Basic Quarters" or "Luxury Quarters" on the sell screen then it didn't count. Also you might have gotten a better price for a "closed bridge" etc. Here's the link for reference: ostranauts.wiki.gg/wiki/Rooms Also unfortunately thrusters count zero for price right now. It's total BS and I hate it. Was there valuable stuff on that ship which you took off before you purchased it? That could explain it too. Ship price is based on what's on there originally, not what's on it when you purchase. It's very possible that there's a bug in the calculation formula which screwed you in this instance. Generally... like I said, I wouldn't purchase a ship for half a mil if it was that small. Tiny ships should sell for 200kish.

@@YourAJ1776 It did count as a bedroom, had a bin, was classed as "Basic Quarters". We did also have a closed bridge (yeah, I've got that guide printed out). There wasn't much of value on it when we got it, and everything that was there got taken off. I think it was likely just too high an initial price and with not enough experience we didn't "win" on this one. Will try again, and also review this one since I don't think I actually hit "sell", just checked to see what the price was.

@@IanEdmonds Honestly I'm leaning towards "bug". If the thing didn't have an 02 can and you installed one... and it didn't triple the price... then something somewhere in the algorithm f***ed up. OR another possibility is that the ship USED to be high-value but got hit by an NPC ship in transit and took a ton of damage.

LOL yep! This is one of the things I say in my "how to avoid ragequit" video about ways to avoid bugs... I don't take my own advice haha.

I'm on the Public Test branch of the game. I've been expecting that this feature will be rolled out to the general EA release, but it's not clear that's going to happen. If not, I'll be very disappointed because it is extremely helpful.

Thank you for the quick response and the info. So I guess I'll hope and wait. I would love to see it in the actual game. Maybe even as something you'd have to learn or get good in. 1st day you have no clue if an item is $1 or $1000 and after lots of salvaged derelicts and trades you'd be spot on... Loved your 'How to flip a ship' btw.

@@thomast5659 during the 'seek advanture' part of creating your resume, one of the evens can give you a skill names 'Business Admin' (as of version 0.14). This changes the $ rough estimate to an actual dollar amount.

@@SerAlex-k3m Yep! Just figured this out on a recent stream. Haven't quite worked it into my routine yet but it's a very cool addition. In the old days we had to literally mouse over every single tile to see whether there were holes in the hull lol.

Thanks for the sub, Sarge! Next time you're in DC, the first round's on me.

Thanks, I found one but wasn't sure how to use it, only that I really really wanted too 😂

This sounds right and it's good to know! I wouldn't drag it around myself as my storage solution just because it feels too cheesy, but I'll keep it in mind for sure.

@YourAJ1776 oh, I meant 3×6 inventory ofcourse, not 3×9 %) And yeah, it's awkward to drag freaking container around causing hellish screeching noise, when you have good cargo tray on wheels with handles just for that :D

HOLY SMOKES I DIDN'T REALIZE I HIT 100 SUBS LAST NIGHT WOOOOOOO Thanks! Last night's stream sucked furiously and it was really cool to wake up to this.

Does not appear to be a thing. Attempting to do so counts as stolen. The best you can do is strip it down to the studs and sell all the gear.

Glad I was! Just be warned that it's very EA and there's basically nothing in the game that's stable. If you can get past the fact that there's a brick wall of bugs that you will inevitably run into on any playthrough which will prompt a restart from scratch, you're gonna have a good time!

@YourAJ1776 yeah I'm gonna keep it on my radar, already hooked on the soundtrack as well

HOLY S*** good catch!!!

Use the money to fund a vacation to Venus 😂

Thanks! I haven't really been looking at other streamers, but I guess I have home field advantage streaming a game I've been playing since EA launch. It's been a very pleasant surprise to me how much new interest there's been in the game. The devs say the additional revenue will fund more time on polish and bugfixing before launch.

@YourAJ1776 thats good. Hopefully they fix the save files being curropted when you do trait changes, like running on the treadmill and doing leisure activities. Hope all is well with ya.

Thanks! Great suggestion about mod reviews! I'll give it some thought, especially as I hit the limit of what's available in-game. I'm kinda planning to do a new character creation tutorial using one of the mods that lets you choose exactly which adventures you have. It'll make it a lot easier on me. As to your question: increasing the size will moderately increase the value - I believe by the value of the floor tiles times a multiplier. If you REALLY want to maximize value, you'll want to install as much expensive equipment as possible on floor spaces (NOT inside walls - thrusters and coolers have ZERO VALUE). There may be a limit to the number counted of a particular piece of equipment. Then you'll want to maximize the room multipliers - the current ideal ship layout is one big one luxury quarters with all your expensive exercise equipment etc. and one big reactor room with everything else. The current meta is kind of cringe and I hope they change it TBH.

Nope. Tried that too. Timestamp 3:50:11 Didn't work. Quest is just bugged. Probably a time limit I exceed. If I remember correctly the option to attempt to turn the quest in should still be there even if you aren't carrying any.

@@entusiast2000 I have no idea how that works but I'll try 😅

I think I did it. Let me know if that worked.

@@YourAJ1776 Looks great now. From #1 and growing. Thanks!

Thanks!! Be warned: It's a combination of extremely addictive and also very unstable. It's one of my favorite games and I've been playing literally since launch... but it's a game I play every 6-12 months for a few weeks until I ragequit. Each time I've dropped at least a dozen bug reports. If you can accept it for what it is, it's amazing. For a more stable experience in the same universe, I highly recommend Neo Scavenger - Sseth made a hilarious video review for it. Make sure to install Neo Scavenger Extended mod by Chico which makes it infinitely more playable.

⁠@@YourAJ1776I’ve played neo scavenger for years but this seems up my alley, can’t believe I’m just discovering my it Only played about 1 hour before I had to prepare for work but the vibes are immaculate

@@yanniz_the_iron I made a video about character creation that may be useful. I think the audio may have sucked. Might do a new vid like this one since people seem to appreciate it so much.

@@MorteWulfe Anyone not running a transponder doesn't have human rights 😉

Yep! I bought a mostly-intact Myna Mk1 nuclear courier for $800k as my 2nd-stage main ship... It's worth over $2m now. As I discovered in tonight's streams with Cirne, the pricing equation has TOTALLY changed from before. Now the only factors in the price are the cost and condition of the equipment times the room multiplier. It's super frustrating. This means that any equipment not "in" a room - including thrusters, coolers, walls, conduits etc doesn't count. The most optimal setup now is almost always 1 reactor room, 1 towing room and 1 luxury quarters.

Umm. If i understood -buy derelict ship -fix and restore -sell it Right?

@@AntonioCerullo-e6d yep. Start with small ones, especially if you dont have EVA. Also "pro-tip" you can install stuff 1 tile behind the wall, you just have to stay right infront the wall to your character do it.

@@helldvan it s a good usage of option for buy derelict
