Any tips on getting enough money to unlock the new moons?

[CrimsonPants]

I'm playing with some friends and we keep dying before unlocking any of the new moons. IS there a point to unlocking them? Is it permanent or do I have to do it every run?

K, so is the unlock permamant?

The payout on the harder moons is real good if you can deal with the nasty creatures there. It costs the 550/etc amount every time you route to them.

If you stay in orbit on the premium moons you can continue to land on them for free (after the initial fee) unless you leave orbit to go to another moon or sell at the company building I believe.

as far as tips go, the best thing is to just have coordination with 3 other players. two people rounding up loot, one running it to the ship and one on the radar for call outs.

also keep on eye on what difficulty you get when you load it. different difficulty levels = different monster types actively on the map from what i can tell

Yeah I saw that too. C~D difficult generally didn't have any major threats outside the building itself, but after that things get a bit crazy. Also, anyone know how to avoid that damned worm?

Buy two walkie talkie in the store. One to teh radar guy, the other to whoever you want to survive the most.

Sounds stupid but don't die, especially DO NOT WIPE. If nobody is alive and on the ship when it leaves you lose all your scrap, this can set you back terribly. Only travel to one of the toll moons at the start of a quota period, as mentioned above you can always land back on it for free until you leave for another moon. These moons can be really lucrative but are extremely dangerous. If you can survive and have one or two good hauls on Rend, Dine, or Titan, you can easily afford to return there for the next quota.

I highly recommend you have a ship operator for these moons as getting to and from the ship can be a challenge (except Titan) and having someone on the lookout for entities/traps is very useful. I'm pretty Rend has all three "night entities" but I can't remember this about the other two. Rend and Dine are very similar but have one key difference in the bunker/facility that means you will want a ship operator for Dine.

Rushing the facility with empty pockets (or just a flashlight/shovel) seems to work fairly well. With a bit of luck, everyone should be able to fill their pockets in the first rush and start stockpiling loot at the exit(s) while it's still early. At least one player can then begin ferrying loot to the ship while the others go back into the facility to search for more loot.

When it's time to make quota, don't sell everything; stockpile excess loot. Only sell what you need to make quota, plus anything extra to buy equipment. For example, the first quota requirement is something like $130, so only sell $130 worth of loot. The remaining unsold loot on your ship can be used in emergencies and to help make the next quota. This strategy requires you to more strictly budget your equipment purchases, but it gives you more leeway when it comes to making quota.

Farm easy maps at first(free, no weather modifiers) and build up a safety net. You should have a few hundred left over from your first quota to
