Don't Sell These Items!

[Jaysonguy]

To help prevent people from getting in a jam when they play and to avoid having to sift through arguments about it I'm just making a new post.

I would love a sticky for this. Or pinned, some say sticky some say pinned, either way, it means put at the top of the forum. This is not to be confused with asking for a sticky in Petaluma because that's 35 dollars and gives you incredible leg cramps for the weekend, anyhoo...

Here's a list of what people will need (as collected so far)

ARGON
DEGENERATE MATTER
FRANCIUM (BIG IMPORTANT THING HERE)
HYPERDRIVES (thank you RocketGrrl)
LEAD
LONDONIUM
NEUTRONIUM
PANTSIUM
POLONIUM
SUPERFLUIDS
TZO CRYSTALS
URANIUM

DO NOT SELL THESE!
Yes, that means no mass selling in the menu, you're going to have to pick and choose but let me ask you, what would you rather do? Pick and choose what you sell or have to moon hop for hours to get what you need? I thought so...

Well, I’d say do t strip mine the galaxy of all of them. I sell all of those myself.

Didn't you say in another thread that you'd hold onto Francium?

[nilus]

Or just, you know, play the game and if you need a resource worry about finding it then.

The vast majority of those items are needed for side quest that don’t effect the story. Usually they just give you items you could have just as easily bought.

Even the Francium need has very little in game effect except for some changes to the map.

Also, hyperdrives.
Unless it's made by the Tywom--probably has "cuddle" in the name--DO NOT SELL HYPERRIVES.

Tzo Crystals I needed only 1 of for the hospital quest, and its present in that very same system. Uranium is also quite common.

You need just 1 Neutronium for the something ship on the something near "home".

I think there was also a need for 1 grey resource, forget which, for another something on the something even closer to "home". Might be the Lead.

Francium is the only one I know of that you need (or at least may want) to save loads of, many hundreds. 100 per spare Hyperdrive you find.

I agree, you usually only need 1 of any of these...to play it safe, make it 10. But Francium, I spent over 600 of that...and still needed more.

[GlassDeviant]

Add Xenon to the list, there's a downed Angel ship on Lanthanides in Beta Lynx that needs 30 or 40.

Strange, I only ever was able to hand in 3 hyperdrives + 100 Francium each. Did you get a colony for every one?

[i_am_a_solar]

could you also tell which resources are needed for more than 1 quest (if any), so we could know when it will safe to sell a used resources

[GlassDeviant]

I don't know of any resources that are used more than once, offhand, but I wouldn't bet my life that it would never happen.

[GlassDeviant]

Found out that there are two uses for Lead. One uses 1 Lead, the other uses 100.

Also: Now I need 40 Xenon as fuel for a crashed Angel ship.

[apricot]

What are the uses for Lead, Argon, Degenerate Matter, Superfluids, Polonium? And what's even Pantsium and Londinium?

I only remember Uranium and Neutronium for Lexite quest, Tzo Crystals for Hospital, and Francium+Hyperdrives for Colonies

[GlassDeviant]

1 Lead iirc for the moon base
100 Lead for a race that needs to build a radiation shielded colony ship
The rest I don't recall exactly but I did use them all for quests, except Pantsium and Londonium which I have never seen in the game, up to and including post-main plotline.
