Any tips for passing the industrial action mission?

[Rumble]

I've failed the industrial action story mission twice now, I just run out of ship parts before I hit salvage goal 1. I assume you have to do that since other salvage goals trigger audio events. But I don't seem to have enough ship available to use to reach the final trigger.

Sure, I've done this a few times without issue:

Process material into the furnace.
Barge items into the furnace.
Furnace material into the processor.

Treat it like any other salvage, work carefully so as not to cause breakage, meltdowns, or explosions to maximize the items going into furnace or processor.

judicial use of your stinger as a vaporizer is a handy and fun way to progress as well.

klink's tips will see you smoothest and quickest through, though.

Toss everything into the WRONG container. That's it, really.

The best thing I found to start it off with a bang is enter the ship. I had a class II reactor and just placed some demo charges on the reactor, thrusters, and some other high end components. Then got to a safe distance and watched the show. Most fun I had with demo charges.

I think the first reply nailed it. Stuff that goes in the barge doesn't seem to get counted properly

Conversely, you can:

-enter ship and put demo charges on everything that's 'splody
-stand back and set off
-use your max charged push to blast EVERYTHING into...:
-either the wrong hole, or out into deep space

Might take a little extra time to "clean up" by blasting crap into space. Might even have to bust out the demos again to cut big pieces down. It works though.

-A quick aside- I'm actually pretty surprised more people AREN'T recommending to just go nuts. After hours and hours of methodically dismantling ships to get the absolute most out of them, I was THRILLED to just go out of my way to blow up just AAALLLL THE THINGS.

I love that mission so much. Chuck everything in the wrong place. Use the stinger to vaporize stuff, nanocarbon goes in the furnace, aluminum in the processor, anything barge-worthy goes in either :)

Just treat it as a regular salvage job, but throw things in the wrong location.

yeah this was the same tatic i took. demo charges on anything explosive like fuel and reactor (take advantange of the sequential detonation by leaving the reactor as the last one to place) i hit about 50% of the salvage goals just from the one boom.

I'd love a way to go back and replay this mission to see if i could do more

This. it is tempting to start blasting but they didn't really polish treating it like sabotage in any interesting way. I god the science gecko so who knows if others potentially getting other ships would have more or less favorable "♥♥♥♥ it, boom everything" means.

you know, when the dialogue triggers are not getting confused and flipping from "Good job being a company boy salvaging correctly" to "How could you betray the company like this 52!?" when you are stinger beaming a cut point.

Then you are more afraid of a table no-clipping a leg into the floor instead of pulling free and vibrating wildly in front of you, than you are the fact they turned off your thrusters again.

In hindsight, I wish I had considered "lost by default, out of bounds". But with everything else going wrong for me trying to play that mission straight, I'd probably be too worried that would have broken the mission to try.

Since everything that leaves the playfield is destroyed, why not disassemble the ship and throw all the components straight up?

[Dys]

I thought this mission was going to be a blast, deliberately triggering a meltdown, setting everything on fire, etc.
In reality, I had fun blowing stuff up, and got to the second goal, and then didn't have any way to get any further. The time just keeps going, the mission doesn't end, and I'm stuck in the yard with nothing to do forever. It's a real shame, and I haven't played at all since. I'm going to have to go back in, and next time carefully disassemble everything into the wrong containers, which sounds like so much less fun than deliberately screwing up.

[Mysticalmaid]

Just finished it on game pass earlier, I threw stuff meant for the barge and furnace into the processor and anything meant for the processor went into the furnace.

[GODS OF BASTARDS]

I find it the most annoying mission in the game. Because you have to get so much, causing any explosions caused me to fail because I'm not willing to spend an hour picking up tiny fragments that flew way out into space, yet still count as just fine. Failed it three times in a row, and came here just to find out apparently the barge isn't something you can use.

[XXtwistedXX]

That was probably my favorite mission. Went inside, set as many charges as I had, flew away and BOOM 50% done right away. Then just used force push on the debris and tethers for anything still big. Used my cutter on everything else to dice it up.
