“Legitimate gameplay sort of person”?! Excuse me, my maze filled , slam fueled, weavle egg induced gameplay is quite legitimate, thank you very much 😂
A gray market at L4 for black and white cargo boxes.
I have yet to find a box of weavle egg, despite lots of maze and quantanium
You find them more regularly with ERT bounties. You have to destroy the enemy ships first, obviously.
@@sebastienjonas4984 A good teamwork exercise. Some people do ERTs, others load the cargo.
@@JoshSweetvale this is the way
You might have been able to use one of those Vultures to manufacture a multi tool. I did find a fully working Corsair the other day in one of those “salvage groups”. I don’t usually check to see if “salvage ships” work-so no idea how common a phenomena this is…
Wow that's genius, I wish I'd tried that!
Yes you did explain the stacking of like materials so as not to disrupt or confuse the consoles at the trade facility. Great video and good example of how to do it without getting nabbed by the authorities for a prison term.
Very cool to see this is possible now. Just not that long ago this seemed like a far off dream. Thanks for the video, Farrister!
Thanks Snaggletoof :)
For the cargo transfer failed the work around seems to be selling in parts. For example you had 16 SCU of Agricium and probably if you sold it 14 and 2 it would have gone through ok. The discussion is still out on if you can always do n-1 or if you need to split more in the direction of half-half. And if you have the space, directly onto the grid works better than on top of other cargo. Problem might be in the sequence of sales where if you sell the container on the bottom that is on the grid it disconnects the container on top (as it is not automatically lowered to the grid) and then the free floating boxes mess up the transaction. That is why stacking the same goods on top of eachother goes smoothly as they are all part of the same transaction and dissapear at the same time.
Hmm kinda make me want to try stacking different items but make sure I'm selling the top first.
never mix product on your cargo grid,the terminal needs direct line to your selected cargo,si if its mixed its like a giant jenga block it pulls say borase but it may be under gold it fails to unload the borase but in doing so it destroys the boxes stacked on top of it,
I used to play avoid the contraband, but the first time you find 17 million worth of maze, you'll probably change your mind. That being said, Maze, Widow, and Slam are the only ones worth your time now. Neon, toxin, etam, and the rest are too hard to sell to be worth bothering with since the markets are so saturated. You might find 130 scu, but only be able to sell 4 scu at a time. Better to just chuck it and move on to the next contract.
That, and stay away from Brio's; that place is swarming with pirates now.
There’s just something about the way he says “I’m Farrister” it’s downright reassuring.
I'm Farrister, and in this comment I'm humbled by the message
@@Farrister Lol! Brilliant bro! I love it!
There is 1 broken thing about this that i've found over the last couple days. I've been taking risky 10k contracts, and when i appear to my wreck there's ~6-7 other ships visible at any time. From my exploration i've come to conclude that those are other ships that are to be looted by other peoples mission. Because sometimes they're open and sometimes they're full still. So i may take a 10k corsair but then roam around the field and open 2 c2s and a couple MSR's too. so 10k and you end up with 4-5 ships to loot.... its a bit busted to do imo.
in my experience they often end up being pirates or security arriving wayyy too early :( I do the 30k ones tho
Thanks for the insight! I’ll try it later.
Your David Attenborough impression was fantastic. I'd love to see you do a short video like that.
Haha thank you, maybe one day!
I'm not offended by you not taking the Vice cargo... just heartbroken lol. I was doing this a few days ago because I need credits bad but every time I jumped away from a claim, the game crashed... sometimes a 30k, sometimes not. Had the Corsair nearly filled with millions worth of cargo and lost it all to a non-30k crash... not just all that potential profit lost, but also all the credits I spent on the contracts through a day of crashes. I was sooooooo salty that day, I haven't been able to bring myself to log back in since.
I literally lost 50 mil in a c2 so get back on and make some money citizen!
Had a similar n-30K crash with the C2 during the last free fly expo. Had saved up 3 mil. but lost it all because I managed to get 2 30k losing me only 500K in total. But then I decided to risk the rest. Go big or go home, and all went smoothly until I requested landing at MT, which caused a n-30K crash. Game didn't register my last location, so I woke up in a bed, and had to claim the ship again. That had me salty too. Especially as it happened only a week after I lost 5 mil in refined Quantanium due to 30K's and midflight noclips. I could have had a 400i and a Retaliator, which are some of my favorite medium ships... instead I was left with a measly Aurora Gladius and a Prospector, and then I didn't play until they reset ships inventory too, so now I am left with the brick.
Nice and relaxing video, good work
Glad you enjoyed it!
tap V hold left button down scan ship for its cargo will let you know what is in it be for you get out
Farrister! NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT A MULTITOOL AND TRACTOR BEAM ATTACHMENT! :D
I know, right?!
If you stack up one box of gold over a box of quantanium and sell the quantanium, the sale will fail. You got to sell first the gold. Or just stack the same commodity to be on the safe side.
"My magpie brain....."
You and me both, buddy.
:D
I've been in that situation where I couldn't get my multitool back. If I think I'm going to be operating out of the same place for a while, I like to prepare a few "kits" in backpacks with all the stuff I need so I can just grab a backpack and go if something goes wrong. I typically always include a multitool with a tractor beam attachment in these kits, some medical supplies, and whatever else might best fit the use-case.
After you died, you could have made your own multitool/tractor beam by using one of the vultures to quickly salvage another vulture.
They would be dead in the water I believe
@@mrtommygunwhite
Shouldn't be. Only reason they wouldn't work is if someone actively shot them until they soft-deathed or removed the components. Otherwise, you can absolutely hop in random ships that you find, doesn't matter if they're NPC or Player as long as you have a way to get inside.
@@DrewTeterall salvageable ships I've tried hopping into so far have been unable to fly, even if they weren't soft-death-ed (yes, I'm talking game-world/mission-spawned ships)
@@DrewTeter i will test it later and come back to you
Cool video dude I did not think about only going for. The legal goods which is a good idea reduces risk
I’ll have to try this out as I am very poor from salvage contracts gone wrong in a previous patch
Had the sudden death for no reason happen to me several times while moving cargo. No reason for it I can find. Biggest risk after landing in a bay and leaving elevator down is someone try and take the ship, not being able to get ATC to open doors and your ship being impounded.
Yeah :(
@Farrister, the bug with cargo is if you stack two different kinds of cargo on top of one another! So when filling up your grid make sure to only stack boxes of the same type on each.
The bug happens with the same cargo stacked on occasion too... initially I thought it maybe caused by smaller boxes on top of larger ones, but if you cant sell the whole stack in 1 go it can happen, it happened 3x this weekend before the penny dropped.. wierd thing is it doesnt always happen so i suspect its a server side issue
Very nice.
Seems that the cargo has been more balanced so the super high profit materials are coming along far less frequently. Fewer elicit substances and less quantanium. Still worth it, but not running 10-15 million aUEC salvages like a couple of days ago. Still. This loop has gotten me from just a Hornet to letting me pick up a C2, Taurus, M50, Prospector, Vanguard, ROC, and a Titan. Running a few days of salvage has opened up a lot of doors and opportunities for more gameplay loops.
the first day played i found 8 big (32scu) containers of mace in a c2 , 2.8million per container=22.4 million in my first run i never found that again and I have done more than 40 missions, it's no joke
@@sergioveraruiz5384I just had this happen yesterday unfortunately my friend had a bounty so when I was selling he was on my ship and we didn’t even think about the fact that bounty hunters would be after him. Long story short a bounty Hunter came around and blew up my C2 with around 20-30 million worth of cargo 😞
Not just salvage, but ert‘S and other missions as well as random NPC ships showing up with all the good drugs.
Buying a storage container is actually a really good analogy to this tbh
My buddy and I went out in a Reclaimer and the new fighter (I forget the name). We started with no reputation, and took two salvage contracts. On the second, we found three abandoned C2/M2s, all of which had some drugs. It took us 4 hours in total to load and sell everything, but we got over 13 million from that. I went from 900k to 8.2 mill that day. Waiting for the next wipe, then I'll buy myself a nice ship.
"cargo removal failed" is when you stack one item (iron) on top of a DIFFERENT item (quantanium). DO NOT STACK MIS-MATCHED ITEMS!!!
Yup! But need a tractor beam to sort it out!
@@FarristerQuick stop at most mining bases will net you 2-3 for free from those loot boxes! Might even find a scarybear helmet! Love your work, Farrister!
my man is so upstanding he saw 2.8mil of maze and said nah im good XD
I've had that cargo death happen before, best I can tell is the game assumes that the cargo box hit you and that's what caused the death. I've had it happen in space and also while moving cargo in my C2. Now I just keep a wider distance between myself and the boxes, hasn't happened since.
I have found the solution to "Cargo Removal Failed"
Only stack cargo boxes if : (Both 1 & 2)
1. The volume/size of the box is the same, only stacking a 32 scu container on another 32 scu container.
AND 2. The contents of the boxes are identical, only stacking Quantainium on more Quantainium.
Hope this helps!
P.S. You can, in fact, fit 4 single scu boxes tall in the C2. I thought the M2 was the same.
When started cargo salvaging, I made the mistake of bringing a Caterpillar, which can't hold the extra long boxes. Of course, on that run I found a Hercules with a cargo bay full of Quantanium, all of it in extra long boxes.
It can, does not snap on to the grid but it works
Yea, just put long ones sideways, they won't snap, like the guy above said, but you can still sell them
I have never just died like that on a salvage mission. I did once switch helmets inside my ship after recovering my corpse, and when I returned to the vacuum, it did not recognize a helmet and killed me.
I keep 3-5 extras in the ship inventory with tractor beam and multitool
It's so broken now, but I enjoy the 'different' gameplay. I got bored doign hauiling runs and bounties. ....since bunkers aren't working too, we needed some method for quick income.
I never really got into bunkers!
Bought a C2 with ingame money myself. She's perfect for Stanton. Big, but not impractically colossal like the Hull C.
Horrible daily driver; too large. But does have that Crusader agility I wanna see in the C1 Spirit.
this gameplay is fun with the hull C
Are you able to place it on the external storage bays?
This method makes the amount of money I made back in 3.11 (or was it 3.12) with the first XenoThreat events look small.
I can only hope _tractor beaming_ will be as lucrative (once the tractor beams are installed, on Tuesday ;)
I guess this truly is "one man’s trash"...
also 04:30 ish you can press - on numpad to do face cam to check if you got a helm
Might be worth looking at the jurisdictions in your journal, some of those drugs mightve been legal in that part of the system.
I recognise the Imperators law, wherever I go xD
Same item type stack is critical. However, I've found issues with that as well. I don't stack at all anymore. The M2 has enough floor space to make lots of credits.
For the most part you have protection from pirates as well.
Just last night I was playing with some friends and one of us randomly died while walking around a station. I haven't had it happen to me yet but it's got to be frustrating!
4 high, it is because you put the box perpendicular to the box on the bottom, should be same alignment
I have a feeling the reason why the drugs appear so commonly in large containers, is because the devs forgot to put a rarity weight on container sizes when they added the new container sizes. You can tell that drugs still spawn at the same rate they do when you don't take that into consideration. Which means this will likely be heavily nerfed in the future.
Though as you, like me, are doing non-drug cargo, you probably won't be hit as hard.
How do you get these salvage 'contracts' in the first place? I've never seen these types appear in my mobi-glass.
They always appeared for me, I'm not sure!
While selling, sell in small batches. Not max out the material. Doing that has lessened the failed transactions. Little more tedious, but I try and do little less than half per sell.
Ummm that’s easy to fix just make if you stack boxes on top they are the same commodity and not something else this will fix the issue
@@JXDNL050 I’ve had it happen on segregated non stacked goods. I think the different size boxes plays a part in it as well.
When I first got the C2 I wanted to see it full so I bought a whole load of copper…. When I went to sell, poof. Gone.
You should consider backing up to the ship. The back door is bigger and you don't have a ship gun in your way.
I'm saving for a ship of this size. I'm using a Drake cutlass black currently. Not much cargo, but I'll get there someday. Nicely done. ANy idea how much your hercules costs in game and where can I buy one?
4,9M for the C2 which can hold more.
Crusader showroom, Orison.
Astro Armada, Area 18.
Asked and answered :)
Question, I have been salvaging for a couple weeks now. I only get 2 choices of ships to buy for 10k each. I buy both. How do I get to the point of there being a bunch to choose from? Thanks and yet another great video!!!
Complete the contract twice :)
Does this mean I have to salvage the ship 100% or just salvage the goods and abandon it?
@@Farrister
Nvm, Thanks just watched a video that took it step by step. Thanks again!
@@yakyuk337What was the answer?
Everything sells Farister, it's a question of time v quantity v money as always. I get they wanted people to DO the Hull Scraping and be rewarded by that with the cargo as an 'added' bonus. So I have to ask, do you think that they will do something about the not scraping the hull bit of these missions?
Right click and open on undersuit, otherwise as it was in your hand when you died it dropped off and wa lost.
Wow you love the sound a yer own voice
You sound like my wife
@@Farrister lmfao m8 sorry :P
381738 to 480349..about 100k..another 100k + - for Quantanium..
600k for the quanta
I only see 2 salvage contracts at any one time. normally only hull-a, vulture, 100i and scorpius. am i doing something wrong?
Need to complete a couple of salvage contracts - fully scrape the hull and it unlocks the next tier
Small question, can you put the big containers on ships like the Connie or not. Is it just the big ships like the C2 that can hold big containers even if it technically can fit in smaller ships
all connies can slap 2 big container/32scu, and all hercules, no other ship can, but others can carry without securing it to the ground with no problem, for example the mercury can carry up to 3 big container easily corsair can carry 2 etc...
I bought my c2 by taking 2 32 scu containers at a time. It takes 3 times longer to sell, but it makes good money still. The risky salvage missions might be tough though, with the time limit.
You can actually get 2 32 SCU containers into an MSR, it won't click on the grid, but you can still sell it. It will register as a single unit, but will sell for the value of all 32 SCU.
Why can't legal players drop off the drugs to a law enforcement Station for a reward?
A final summary of aUEC earned for time spent would have been invaluable?
yeah every time I go take something interesting I get scanned so I don't bother any more
'interesting' xD
It's so easy to go G-capped now :(
could you make a drydock video about a apollo?
Not even two weeks later after Farristers guide they patched it in 3.21
Entirely expected!
the bug is fixed for different crate?
Advice in regards to you "owning" the M2...
Sadly, we all own nothing. If CIG evaporates or shuts down for any reason, we're right back to the original JPegs...
Anyone know how you rotate items that are currently being tractored likeFarrister does in the video?
holding R
Hold R move mouse around also note that the scroll wheel does stuff too.
thank you for the help
You could actually sell the maze legally with a specal contract where you was giving the authorities all the maze. Me and my buddys even ahd one C2 with 220 maze on it but it was fucking bugged XD
You character death I am assuming is dsync.
It looks like your collided with the crate.
I had the same thing happen in prison where if you go up to a ai and down them or knife them with MMB, it's like your character fused with them and or the ground and seemingly causes collision damage of 100%.
Very janky stuff.
Quite possibly!
yes but now it is farming giant head time, must farm those giant heads
Should I take the salvage contracts under the personal tab? I only ever see 2 under the general tab and they’re all for small fry’s like avengers
Also where’s is there a wiki or something where I can find where to seek which kind of resources?
I’ve been playing for years but never actually tried to actually make any money so here’s my shot
If you compete a couple of contracts from regular tab with a Vulture or Reclaimer, salvaging them until they have no salvage left, you unlock the higher tiers
@@Farrister got it thanks for the response and the video too 👍
@farrister will you be at citizencon?
Not this year
If you decide to come, I will buy your entry ticket! @@Farrister
@@TimeStalling haha that's very kind, but it's many thousands of miles for me, and my wife would not be happy to be left holding the baby!
Why can't I get these 30k missions? I haven't seen a single one in my game, even tried rejecting missions to get more to pop up.
Did you complete some salvage missions? I think you gotta unlock them first!
You need a vulture and do 2 missions scanning the salvage metal off the ship. Do a Cheap one then a 20k.
Yes I've done like 10 now to make good and sure. I only get 10k and 20k ones 🤷♀️
Just make sure you take advantage of this until CIG nerfs this gameplay loop so far into the ground it'll be in the core of the earth. I made 30 million Auec in 3 days.
Go for the C2, M2, and Mercury contracts, they carry the most.
Already done lol
Same thing happened to me my character died for no reason i respawn run back to location and my pyro tool disappeared got in ship to take off and 30k happened now my c2 is around magda and ive not been able to find it so i gave up grabbed my m2 to try again get a good ship get it loaded took one more job and on the way to the salvage job a invisible asteroid killed me and i swear when the screen went black i seen a evil smiling face for just a split second i think cig is trolling me i haven't played in a few day days every time i try to do one of these jobs something happens
well enjoy all when is up, this cargo runs was a treath that SCI give us until the economy team start working. then RIP all our money afther the economy updates will be release. you can farm, but everthing will be lost before the 4.0 release.(1 year)
So far my personal record for a single mission was 8.6m haven't had anything higher yet.
22.5million from 1 c2 yesterday loaded to bursting with maize and quant
@@cajjono2848 off of multiple contracts or just the one? i had 5 contracts worth of shit loaded up and got scanned by security and lost everything while i was moving stuff lol
While I do enjoy your content, dunno what happenned to your mic but you may want to consider buying a pop filter x)
This might get me back into SC after being stuck on Starfield haha
Sorry to hear that, i get ya, Starfield is sh*t, so stale and plodding, no immersion. Hoping on the F76 patch.
C2 is king in this loop more room.never mix up your product its a guaranteed fail at the terminal.
i am like you no crime sats for me lawful all the way
Nom nom nom?
I can only apologise, HK47
Once they stop wiping the servers then this might be enjoyable. Personally I don't care for building up my funds only to see them disappear.
That's fair, each person has different objectives for their gameplay :)
That's not going to happen for years, to much important tech needs implementing over many builds.
Lost me at M2😂😂😂
:( poor M2
Is the game even still playable? I only checked in recently for 30 minutes to see how 3.20 is and it looks like CiG is screwing up more and more things in this game. Armor parts were misaligned, ship HUD looked blurry, replaced Port Olisar with a standard space station like there are already 20 that look the same, etc. etc. and still nothing new that makes SC somehow worthwhile playing.
What are you saying? Do not take any of the garbage. Corundum, quartz, iron, copper throw that crap out. It just takes up space in your ship that you can use for other good cargo. You try and take multiple missions in the same area and fill your ship up with only the good stuff. This is not a very good tutorial.
It's not supposed to be a tutorial!
Not every cargo ship is a gold mine. You do get quite a bit of "loser" ships with crappy cargo.
Also, use your ship guns and shoot the door a few times, it will auto open. do not stack different materials either. its going to bug when you go to sell.
Nothing quite like hitting it big with 200scu of tungsten!
@@aniyn lol. i got 1 C2 with 140 scu of bexalite. i was going to dump it, not realizing how valuable it was. thank goodness i didnt
do i REALLY need to wear a helmet when going into zero G? it always ruins my haircut!
the fail to sell comes from putting stuff on other stuff. never put box with Stuff A on a box with Stuff B. Always put A on A, B on B, C on C and so on.
Hahaha. And yes, I didn't have a tractor beam to rearrange things :(
20:30 bugs like this stops me from buying this game
you died from desync. the box hit you according to the server.
Funny you mention David Attenborough. To the uncouth American ear, your speech pattern and tone are not very far removed.
Well I'm taking that as a massive ego boost for the day :D
This is going to be nerfed in 3.21 I think
I wouldn't be surprised, it feels like it isn't the intended way for this loop to play
@@Farrister agreed. It’s way too easy to make a lot of money. They will probably just make the high values stuff a lot more rare to find. Especially Maze. I had $4.5 million worth of Maze on one 30k salvage mission.
Perhaps you died as a result of 30K anxiety....
Why would you not do vice cargo? It’s free money in a game where no one cares 😂😂😂
I don't know how this is "fun"
Thankfully Farrister isn't you. Which means he has no responsibility to play anything "you" think is fun or not.
Do you think a vulture would fit in a rsj galaxy Cargo module bay? 🥺🤏🏻
RSI*
Probably not. The hangar should (according to Q&A) be sized to accomodate XS ships (snubs basically), maybe a bit bigger. And you cannot load ships into the Cargo module (you can theoretically, but only if they fit through the door to the hangar or the lift).
These are of course subject to change, but I still think fitting a Vulture is unlikely.
@@quuaaarrrk8056 hopefully the lift is .. huuuge 😅
