Stuck With Mission Cargo

[Gamer84]

I have a load of mission cargo that I didn't get to deliver in my hold. Its taking up a lot of space, does anyone know how to get rid of it?

As in the planet got gobbled before you could deliver? If that is the case when you jump to the next sector and ship should come and remove it

I think i just moved sectors before delivering it. No its been there for a lot of sectors. No one is taking it.

OK, not sure on that. Never seen an issue with Mission cargo being removed once the mission is failed. It usual just gets cleared off the ship after jump in to next sector. I wonder if maybe you jumped again before it got removed and now its stuck cause nothing to trigger it being removed again.

Hey so i just did a quick test. After jumping sectors with mission cargo not delivered. In the new sector as soon as i jumped to an area that had life so a colony / shipyard a trade shuttle came and removed the cargo i failed to deliver. So something must have bugged i guess in your save and they don't see that cargo as previous sector cargo that cannot be delivered to be removed. So its thinking you must still be able to deliver it yourself

I too have long term bugged cargo. Several sectors in, still won't deliver it. I've had other cargo missions, they'll pick the new cargo up and leave the old sitting there :P

Yes i have seen this myself now, for some reason just two boxes were not collected and i got left with them. I did manage to get rid of them by finding the ID of the two boxes in mt save file. I then took on another delivery mission. Added the two ID for these two cartons in the delivery mission and upped the mission counter by two. When i turned in that mission they took the two stuck boxes alongside the rest of the cargo for the mission i was completing.

So some chain of events seems to lead to these boxes getting forgotten about. So some additional checks may need to be put in for the game to look for orphaned cargo like this where it still exists but the cargo ID does not seem to belong to anything.

Had it once ... my minions just moved the cargo from 1 tile to another ... i disassembled the bay and rebuild it -> than it was gone

This is a half baked idea formed from guesses. I too have mission cargo that wont leave. I think the source is downloaded ships from the workshop that had active mission cargo when uploaded. Missions that I assigned myself, if failed, clear out, but looted-salvage mission-cargo just sits there.

Jettison cargo option would fix it. I want the option to open the "lost" cargo.

P.S. The ship "falcon thicc" has loaded mission cargo in its cargo hold, if any one wants to explore this idea. I would, but I'd have to learn to code or something to really dissect it.

I like the idea of in a battle being able to jettison cargo to act as a "shield of debris" and to lower the mass of your ship to make it go faster!

I just took a look into this when someone brought it up on Discord.

Mission Cargo items are defined in the mission. Once the mission disappears, any remaining cargo is just a random item. My suggestion is to complete all existing delivery contracts and then manually delete whatever "MissionCargo" items are left from the save file.

It's not an elegant solution but will work until Introversion has a chance to fix this otherwise.

if you have mission cargo goto C:\Users\Youname\AppData\Local\Introversion\LastStarship\saves click autosave.space open notepad click use just once then hold ctrl+f type missioncargo it will take you there and delete them then saves it will override the mission cargo to remove
