15 minute shift, you have no lunch breaks for 15 minutes. You can rest between shifts, just don't rest too long. You're expected to have at least 40 shifts each day.
Gotta love what wearing a helmet indoors without a spacesuit implies. It means that the room is pressurized, but that it isn't pressurized with a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen costs money, after all, and so does equipment that recycles CO2 back into oxygen. So, you have to wear a helmet indoors, which means that your bosses can keep track of all the oxygen you breathe... and bill you for every breath you take. All of that is perfectly in-character for LYNX Corp.
I distinctly remember one of the "Tip Of The Day" entries on the loading screen saying something about LYNX exchanging the oxygen in the living quarters every X days "for all your breathing needs", or something along these lines.

Thinking about it today, Hardspace: Shipbreaker feels like the opposite of Homeworld. Despite the aesthetic similarities. For Homeworld has lots of high-concept stuff. With 'exiles' who made an 'exodus' through 'gardens' (Nebula) to a 'promised land'. To the tune of ethereal, middle-eastern inspired music. And heavenly choruses. Shipbreaker though? It's gritty. With banjos twanging and tambourines banging. Salt-of-the-earth Americana. You may as well be rounding up sheep on a ranch, or toiling the earth of the new world. For whilst you're on the edge of the frontier (literally within view of the railgun thing) you don't concern yourself with that. You shall never claim a promised land. Your eyes are turned down towards the soil.
Grand overtures and the mythology of promise can be wonderfully inspiring motivators. That said though, so can breakfast. At the end of the day, sometimes the best way to enjoy breakfast tomorrow is to scrub a couple spuds today. Assuming, of course, that the metaphorical spuds are derelict hulks, the scrubber a laser cutter, and breakfast the momentary relief from indenturing debt...
It is interesting to compare the two, in terms of 'story' In Homeworld, we experience the hopes, frustrations and pain of people. the journey has a clear start and a clear end, we are told why we do what we do, and when we get there, we went through trials and tribulations which make the ending feel good and earned. In Hardspace though.. who are we? An empty pants joe working a job where they regularly get smushed by a couple of tons of salvage, theres no clear path foward other than paying your debts. Why are we there? Cuz we were fit (I think thats it, isnt it? they just chose us because we were in a good physical shape). Hardspace is a good game, but i do feel like the story isn't as good as it could've been. It has a ''aw fuck lets tack on a campaign before we release it in full' feel to it.
Thing is, you're not wrong. Every promised land humanity had in Hardspace was, well, ruined. Earth is decrepit after the climate went out of control, space is in the hands of Lynx and other megacorporations, the Stellar Commission has, by and large been less-than-useful. You don't have the mythical promised land, nor the immortal relics of civilizations long-unknown on Kharak, to the tunes of the middle east and kings of their time, giving a vibe more storylike, all the odd lore, like crusades and holy war on Kharak, indended extinctions, all in absolutely garagantuan machines which boggle the mind in scake. Hardspace, meanwhile forces you to look downwards at the ground, take life one day at a time, and think about paying off a looming presence to make your way. Eventually, of course, you do make your way out, to the only free lands in the system. The new Old West, and the soundtrack just works so, so well, and the scale is even better. The largest ships you scrap barely touch a hundred meters, and yet, there's an air of presence when you load up a massive Javelin to rip it apart, like every ship feels in some way diseased or dying, hell, nearly everything feels a touch bleak.
@@HAunderscoreVE To be fair, while I wish Cutter was more of a character, as opposed to a vessel, I actually really like that you're just a person. There's no prophecy, you're simply one amongst billions in the System, and one among probably millions or more looking for a job each day.
Maybe try Rimworld out as well? More of a space western colony sim, but actually quite good. If you say "graphics don't look that good" you found the right one. Rather than blow the processing power on graphics, it put it in simulation of the characters. Easy modding as well. It has been described as a cross between Firefly and Dwarf Fortress with less of a learning curve than Dwarf Fortress, but still a pretty steep one

How you doing cutters? Almost detonated myself today in a freak reactor accident. Huddled up in the nose of the ship and prayed to the dear lord to spare this forsaken cutter. The counter reached zero and blinding light filled my hud. When i opened my eyes I was surprised to not have been vaporized, luckily Geckos are large ships so it was only the rear that was obliterated. Doesnt mean I didn't get chewed out for destroying valuable material. Try and stay safe out there, cutters.
*Apprentice Cutter here,* I figured out what are those red zones near the furnaces you throw scrap in! Turns out they have their own pull.. anyways, I owe Lynx Corp about half a lifetime worth of cash for using a spare.
Stay safe. My old man shared a story of someone getting crushed by a sea can or some other heavy thing. Had to use DNA to identify him, don't think they could use teeth. I was about 9 or 10 when he told the story and I heard it, which puts it at about 20 years ago or so when I heard the story, meaning it must have been '80s or '90s. Do your thing, boss. Just keep in mind, safety first, make sure that you're safe and that others are safe. Cheers, good taste in music, take care and stay safe. Construction work is brutal and I know, to some degree, from experience. Also lost a friend of the family to a heavy hauler incident, but I digress. God bless.
Let's be fair: that corporation is taking some no-name person with no qualification, getting you in the orbit, giving you 30 spare bodies and a lot of expensive equipment. Not exactly a situation where they can let you go after one week of work just because "you don't feel like it's your thing". Even if the game is set a few centuries in the future, space faring clearly not cheap: you get millions of credits every single shift, and I doubt that Lynx is paying you more than 5% of real value of the parts you recycle (just like with IRL shipbreakers).
@@0xlamon LYNX didn't give me shit! They charge you for ALL of that stuff! And as you said, I'm only getting paid 5% of the recycled materials' value, right?

I thought these came from firefly!!! those soundtracks are awesome!!! Edit: check out music to smuggle by if you haven't already, it also has a definite firefly vibe to it!!!
The music to this game is excellent, I love how it intensifies when appropriate. More of this kind of music and a similar system would make snowrunner even better.
@@elgringofeo9348 because, like most top quality games today they use a sort of "soundtrack mixer" automation inside the game, as events or cue's trigger - different parts of the OST blend in and out. We're getting the 'base' tracks as it were, but every base track has additional tracks either running in parallel or on standby for a que. We'll get those eventually! ^_^ example: Evil Genius 2 has regular soundtrack and then a High Alert version that plays when you lock down your base. Both Division 1 and Division 2 use this system extensively.
As a Dakota man grown up in the Black Hills, this is what I like listening to when working, either repairing machines on the job, or on my off time prospecting and mining. Labor of Love has got to be my favorite, but they're all good.

Congrats game devs, you have successfully captured the heart and soul of aerospace hardware manufacturing in music. Listening to a random playlist of hardspace OST tracks while breaking down an Airbus a220 ftd. It's the best thing ever. Most productive day I've had in a long time.
there's but few folkmusic on this planet that deserves to be taken to space. I'm from germany and i hope ours will stay buried here while we leave^^ EDIT: "The Miners" has a strong "Cats in the Cradle" vibe. I like that.
@@kerbalspacepolice2468 True. I got more of "Cats in the Cradle" vibe, and it comes along with the whole "leaving loved ones behind to go be a wageslave for LYNX" which they really hammered home when they added the opening cinematic with the "Cutter's Poem" thing. Nothing wrong with Gordon Lightfoot, strangely I'd venture to guess bluegrass/folk was absolutely an inspiration to some of his work. I mean you could take an instumental of "Sundown" and it'd fit fine with the other songs in Hardspace. But yeah, cutting to a bluegrass arrangement of "Cats in the Cradle" while in space is surreal lol.
After listening to the soundtrack for as long as its been out, I finally got the game for my B-day. I thought the music was good, but my goodness, love hearing it while playing. The sound design in the game is exceptional!
I've been playing the Mass Effect games from the Legendary edition, and I mute the in-game music and play this instead. It's absolutely perfect for any space game that uses the "frontier theme" that so many space sci fi creations do. This soundtrack is fantastic.
I think the mass effect soundtrack captures the cold emptiness of space in a more appropriate way to be honest. This kind of frontier music really inspires that wherever and however we end up, we can make it with enough work. But in mass effect if your ship is lost in interstellar space on the way somewhere, even from minor causes, you will be lost in the void forever.
got recommended this after a few sovietwave playlists, the algorithm seems to know the soviet working class and american working class both need chill space vibes.
I have been listening to this soundtrack shipbreaking, researching, rucking, thinking, sleeping, and everything in between. It's just so good. Thanks for crafting a super-immersive experience, through and through.
I just want to tell the music/audio crew how awesome they did with this soundtrack. It's so amazing to listen to and goes great with so much. Thank you thank you thank you every last one of you!!
i bought the game specifically because i found this, absolutely adored it, bought the full game after listening to this and other OST of the game for a few days - never forget the power of a good soundtrack, kids
Between this and Bastion I'd say video games have done more for neo-Americana in the past 15 years than any one artist. Like come on, how fucking good was the Bastion OST?
I was coming into here with an angry finger to the sky about to yell "BUT BROTHER DEEEEGE" but... That's kind of the point. Who's actually heard of brother dege? Or brown bird, or split lip ray? You're kinda right, these are actually in the public eye. This ost I mean, and it's a fantastic example of what the genre is about. I love it. Also thank you for that realization lmao
Never have I thought of seeing the day where I purchase an OST without caring a whit about the actual game. Yet here we are, and here I am $8 lighter. I still think I came out on the better side of this run in.
If this is your speed, then maybe you might like to check out The Outer Wilds. That often gets mentioned in the same breath as Shipbreaker, sountrack wise. Bluegrass, Blue Collar Sci-Fi.
That moment when you accidentally Stinger a fuel line and shoot, burning out the thruster port while the ship goes up in a ball of fire behind you... ...and live to tell about it.
I come back to this album a few times a year, like visiting a grave. HS:SB was a bit rough around the edges, but so was its content. Of all the games I've played in my life, it's one of the few that induces true heartache in me due to likely never getting a sequel. The game had such a novel weaving of concept, theme and gameplay. HS:SB's immersion and weaving of all its parts allowed me to experience a job and a life that I'll never get to see, and may not ever exist. It's a hollow, sorrowful joy of a feeling, and I can't thank enough everyone who was involved in the project. See you in the next life, Cutters.
As it says in the title, the genre is Americana. Bluegrass is close enough that someone who enjoys one probably enjoys the other, and there's no shortage of either style of music on TH-cam. :)
This is the kind of music I imagined my pilots were listening to plying the trade routes in the old Escape Velocity games...the tunes perfectly fit a space trucking vibe.
if you enjoy this kind of music, you may also be interested in 'southern gothic' and/or 'dark country' playlists. those do include songs with lyrics though.
Just started playing this on Xbox and I'm in love. The physics aren't perfect but the core gameplay loop is intensely satisfying and this soundtrack is just **chef kiss**.
Yes! I asked a while ago to get the soundtrack purchasable on steam and they followed through! I will be picking it up when I get home from work. Thanks guys, we love the soundtrack and hope you keep up the great work! We will support you all the way!
Hardship: Shipbreaker and The Flame and the Flood capture the American spirit in a way that's so insightful it can only come from someone who truly gets the Blue Collar way of life. To me, The Flame in the Flood is a prequel set a few hundred years before Shipbreaker.

@@normanmccollum6082 tell that to lynx
I am one billion credits in debt and regularly face death that could be easily avoided if the company cared at all.
And I feel fine.
Let's be fair: that corporation is taking some no-name person with no qualification, getting you in the orbit, giving you 30 spare bodies and a lot of expensive equipment. Not exactly a situation where they can let you go after one week of work just because "you don't feel like it's your thing". Even if the game is set a few centuries in the future, space faring clearly not cheap: you get millions of credits every single shift, and I doubt that Lynx is paying you more than 5% of real value of the parts you recycle (just like with IRL shipbreakers).
@@0xlamon LYNX didn't give me shit! They charge you for ALL of that stuff! And as you said, I'm only getting paid 5% of the recycled materials' value, right? They make a tidy profit with expendable contractors tied to a company store and debt.
And I'm down for it! My suit has LYNX patches! I'm a company man. This message brought to you by LYNX corporation. LYNX: Because We Care.
The gameplay wasn't mechanically as deep as some games, but the aesthetic was superbly crafted with love.
It could do with a "user created challenge" mode.
I don’t know how the game was back then but it fully released yesterday and I think it’s amazing so far
@@Maribro4It's sooooo gooood
@@Maribro4 Just completed the campaign and I have to say the game came a long way. The story really adds a lot. And there are so many little changes in the ship designs since the early versions that make taking the ships apart so much more enjoyable. No more looking for those damn keys!
@@gonun69 plus the near-future utilitarian aesthetic of industrial fusion-powered BZZZZT lasers, boom boom devices, and whatever the fuck grapples are supposed to be.
If I ever get around to GMing a Firefly/Serenity RPG group, I'm using this as my background music.
Lemme know if you need an extra player for that, I’m 100% down for it
Look up Impulse Drive. It's a game using the apocalypse engine that was specifically designed for that.
@@Ofthehouseofbeards I heard somewhere that the original inspiration for Firefly was a solo Traveller game that Joss Whedon played.
Also Scum and Villainy exists, which is a hack of Blades in the Dark!
this would work for any kind of space industrial setting imo
This lifts my spirits as I tend to my humble crop of military grade circuits. It's not much but it's honest work
Americana beats to "Chill" to.

Yup. Decompression's a bitch.
this has probably been said before, but listening to this brings up fond memories, from watching Firefly, 20 years ago.
VERY
I thought these came from firefly!!! those soundtracks are awesome!!! Edit: check out music to smuggle by if you haven't already, it also has a definite firefly vibe to it!!!
@@felixader we all are, it is inevitable unless you are really unlucky.
@@krakenpots5693 is it called "smugle by" or just a grammar issue? I have been looking for more music of this genre to vibe too on a daily basis.
The music to this game is excellent, I love how it intensifies when appropriate. More of this kind of music and a similar system would make snowrunner even better.
Yeah I agree. I love Snowrunner but the soundtrack is a bit lacking
I havent found the versions of the songs when shit goes sideways
@@elgringofeo9348 because, like most top quality games today they use a sort of "soundtrack mixer" automation inside the game, as events or cue's trigger - different parts of the OST blend in and out. We're getting the 'base' tracks as it were, but every base track has additional tracks either running in parallel or on standby for a que. We'll get those eventually! ^_^
example: Evil Genius 2 has regular soundtrack and then a High Alert version that plays when you lock down your base.
Both Division 1 and Division 2 use this system extensively.
@@maeton-gaming yeah I know, i was just hoping they would've recorded the extra parts of thier songs for a mix or something
It's called dynamic music, not a new thing albeit always a welcome one
This and the Rimworld OST got me through my last semester of college. Submitting final papers now! Thank you so much!
Listening to it now as I'm finishing up my own finals, 'tis good vibe music
Honestly, this is just some of the best college grind music out there.
@@petemagnuson7357 same here, this and the rimworld ost's are helping me to the end.
Hope you passed/graduated!
Okay.
YT recommended this to me.
Don't have the game - but I bought the soundtrack.
Thank you for this.
Same kkk
You should buy the game it’s great

Thanks for this. The Lynx lo-fi girl is great lol

Lynx Lo-Fi Cutter looks dope. Gender dont matter to a melting reactor.
I like that she looks so tired.

Shake hands with danger
As a Dakota man grown up in the Black Hills, this is what I like listening to when working, either repairing machines on the job, or on my off time prospecting and mining.
Labor of Love has got to be my favorite, but they're all good.
This is also good to put on over Rimworld, at least when you get past the tribal stage. If you can't make it past tribal, well, my thoughts go out to z0rg for you.
What does my name have to do with rimworld tribal?
playing rimworld while listening to this as I read your comment.
@@sirzorg5728 He didnt type your name, it is blasphemous to spell the great and firey Z0rgs name with a "o" it must be a zero as to not incur his holy wrath (look up theBlackpantslegion he created the meme)
daily reminder to praise z0rg
z0rg be praised, his fiery embrace teaches us the humility in violence.
Playing this music while playing Delta V hits just right. I can just imagine having the words "Breaker" uttered to me in a dulce southern drawl
The Firefly vibes are real... And I love it!
FINALLY! I NOW KNOW WHAT THE GENRE NAME IS CALLED! THIS HAS BEEN BUGGING ME FOR 4 FRIGGN' YEARS!
The only thing that could make this better, would be the intro cinematic version of Labour of Love.
same
Has anyone posted that version without the narration? That trailer sold me on this game.
Congrats game devs, you have successfully captured the heart and soul of aerospace hardware manufacturing in music.
Listening to a random playlist of hardspace OST tracks while breaking down an Airbus a220 ftd. It's the best thing ever. Most productive day I've had in a long time.
This music was developed by lynx corporation to improve productivity.
there's but few folkmusic on this planet that deserves to be taken to space. I'm from germany and i hope ours will stay buried here while we leave^^
EDIT: "The Miners" has a strong "Cats in the Cradle" vibe. I like that.
was searching for a comment like this! miners feels very "the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" esk. very nice
@@kerbalspacepolice2468 True. I got more of "Cats in the Cradle" vibe, and it comes along with the whole "leaving loved ones behind to go be a wageslave for LYNX" which they really hammered home when they added the opening cinematic with the "Cutter's Poem" thing. Nothing wrong with Gordon Lightfoot, strangely I'd venture to guess bluegrass/folk was absolutely an inspiration to some of his work. I mean you could take an instumental of "Sundown" and it'd fit fine with the other songs in Hardspace.
But yeah, cutting to a bluegrass arrangement of "Cats in the Cradle" while in space is surreal lol.
Great, now my brain imagined me a space schlager, vielen Dank.
@@andrejspecht8217 Na dann bring das Teil mal unter Kontrolle^^
One of the best gaming soundtracks for a long time
After listening to the soundtrack for as long as its been out, I finally got the game for my B-day. I thought the music was good, but my goodness, love hearing it while playing. The sound design in the game is exceptional!
I've been playing the Mass Effect games from the Legendary edition, and I mute the in-game music and play this instead. It's absolutely perfect for any space game that uses the "frontier theme" that so many space sci fi creations do. This soundtrack is fantastic.
Yeah, playing Battletech to it as I write this. Will have to check out the game this is from after.
Been wanting to get the legendary edition, but ME3 just isn’t the same without the Expanded Galaxy mod.
I think the mass effect soundtrack captures the cold emptiness of space in a more appropriate way to be honest. This kind of frontier music really inspires that wherever and however we end up, we can make it with enough work. But in mass effect if your ship is lost in interstellar space on the way somewhere, even from minor causes, you will be lost in the void forever.
I love the style the devs went for with this game
This is the best soundtrack I've heard in a long time. I usually turn off background music in games; this one I'm listening to for its own sake.
Car mechanic simulator is the only series that also has really great music that I've played. I've heard RimWorld is good too. Salvage safe, cutter.
THEY DID IT. THE PUT UP THE NEW SOUNDTRACKS. IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG.
god i'm really hoping they put up the "danger" versions too

@@ufo8mycat "Memories of a future that never was"
You are correct! I've listened to a few sovietwave playlists myself
I have been listening to this soundtrack shipbreaking, researching, rucking, thinking, sleeping, and everything in between. It's just so good. Thanks for crafting a super-immersive experience, through and through.
I just want to tell the music/audio crew how awesome they did with this soundtrack. It's so amazing to listen to and goes great with so much. Thank you thank you thank you every last one of you!!
i bought the game specifically because i found this, absolutely adored it, bought the full game after listening to this and other OST of the game for a few days - never forget the power of a good soundtrack, kids
Defs music for Rimworld, or for playing Terran in Starcraft
Dear Whoever Is Reading This I wish you love, peace, and happiness in everything you do as you journey through life.❤️❤️👍👍
Thank you. Have a great day.
Same you Haven.
This gives me Firefly vibes, and I'm 1000% okay with that
Firefly's long gone, all just folk now.
"oops mixed the fuel lines with the other things again..." TRANSMISSION LOST
After all the chilly and little bit slower songs, "Crow's feet" feels like crazy good!
Coding may not be as grueling, but this helps keep me working hard at it!
At the end of day it all labor
Between this and Bastion I'd say video games have done more for neo-Americana in the past 15 years than any one artist.
Like come on, how fucking good was the Bastion OST?
I was coming into here with an angry finger to the sky about to yell "BUT BROTHER DEEEEGE" but... That's kind of the point. Who's actually heard of brother dege? Or brown bird, or split lip ray? You're kinda right, these are actually in the public eye. This ost I mean, and it's a fantastic example of what the genre is about. I love it.
Also thank you for that realization lmao
Actually for a while I was almost sure both OSTs could be the work of the same composers, I had to check to make sure it isn't the case XD
Fellas, are you allowed to put a space ship *together* to this music? Asking for a friend.
no but you can cut up a whale to this its practically a ship
Hardspace or Kerbal, the Americana blesses all.
Space Engineers? I do.
This also compliments Satisfactory really well.
i like to think those games are connected in some way
Never have I thought of seeing the day where I purchase an OST without caring a whit about the actual game. Yet here we are, and here I am $8 lighter. I still think I came out on the better side of this run in.
The best soundtrack I’ve heard in a while
I don't usually praise video game soundtracks, but this is phenomenal Thanks for the space-country tunes.
If this is your speed, then maybe you might like to check out The Outer Wilds. That often gets mentioned in the same breath as Shipbreaker, sountrack wise. Bluegrass, Blue Collar Sci-Fi.
That moment when you accidentally Stinger a fuel line and shoot, burning out the thruster port while the ship goes up in a ball of fire behind you...
...and live to tell about it.
I come back to this album a few times a year, like visiting a grave. HS:SB was a bit rough around the edges, but so was its content. Of all the games I've played in my life, it's one of the few that induces true heartache in me due to likely never getting a sequel. The game had such a novel weaving of concept, theme and gameplay. HS:SB's immersion and weaving of all its parts allowed me to experience a job and a life that I'll never get to see, and may not ever exist. It's a hollow, sorrowful joy of a feeling, and I can't thank enough everyone who was involved in the project. See you in the next life, Cutters.
Made my day. I've been searching for more of this style of music for a while now! Thank y'all so much!
As it says in the title, the genre is Americana. Bluegrass is close enough that someone who enjoys one probably enjoys the other, and there's no shortage of either style of music on TH-cam. :)
This is the kind of music I imagined my pilots were listening to plying the trade routes in the old Escape Velocity games...the tunes perfectly fit a space trucking vibe.
This gives me Starcraft 1, terran campaign vibes. Love it!
Ironically, I'm listening to this while writing stuff another game. Damn good music, absolutely perfect for high workload. Thank you.
Americana at its core. It’s been a great drive today 😂
if you enjoy this kind of music, you may also be interested in 'southern gothic' and/or 'dark country' playlists. those do include songs with lyrics though.
Just started playing this on Xbox and I'm in love. The physics aren't perfect but the core gameplay loop is intensely satisfying and this soundtrack is just **chef kiss**.
im listening to this type of music while working in an electric workshop
.
.
and it feels amazing
'The Miners' is pure eargasm.
my only gripe is that this isn't a 24hr mix but otherwise I love this a lot
God damn I love how raw and real the instruments are in this OST are. Every single time I put it on I feel it in my bones, man!
Yes! I asked a while ago to get the soundtrack purchasable on steam and they followed through! I will be picking it up when I get home from work. Thanks guys, we love the soundtrack and hope you keep up the great work! We will support you all the way!
I've found this is the BEST soundtrack to "get stuff done". Fun game, but this soundtrack may go down as an all-time classic!
These are one of the few tracks that I can listen to over and over again. It's beautiful!
The gods must love me for they have allowed me to find this piece of art today.
Can't stop listening to this. We need hours of this
This is perfect music for anyone in Blue-collar work.
I just happen to like western and bluegrass, this fits the bill nicely, and I want more like it .
Hardship: Shipbreaker and The Flame and the Flood capture the American spirit in a way that's so insightful it can only come from someone who truly gets the Blue Collar way of life. To me, The Flame in the Flood is a prequel set a few hundred years before Shipbreaker.
I randomly stumbled across this, and its so good. It'd fit so well with Rimworld as well
Firefly Vibes. "It's gettin mighty crowded in my sky"
"Crows Feet" friggin slaps.
wow, who'd thought I would find a new game I never heard of through a youtube recommended video
I won't feel bad if this is the only music that makes it to the rest of the galaxy.
Also a perfect accompaniment while playing Rimworld
I can see Miller from The Expanse having these songs in his playlist
Thanks to this playing in the background, I don't feel like tearing out my hair at work.
THANK YOU OP!
Ah yes, this is what the exorbitant streaming fees were for. Back to cutting and towing i guess.
