Trading Ships lost my inventory.

[erin go bragh]

When I traded my ship for a better one,I was given a choice to transfer my goods.I did tell it to transfer them,and when I got my new ship.All my items where gone.very upsetting :( Have no ideal why this happened

[Aliisa]

I remember seeing a post a long time ago that when exchanging for a new freighter, if you finish one conversation with the NPC and then talk to them again and select the exchange, all the rooms and stuff you built disappear without moving.
I wonder if this still happens?

[The Knowledge Seeker]

I don't have an answer for you, but I have questions that may help others to help you better.

Which game mode?
Is Multiplayer enabled?

[erin go bragh]

Happened to me lol, And the mode was normal and multiplayer was enabled

The OP is correct. I just tested this on a save I could care less about. Items did not transfer to new ship.

Upsetting right,Lost a lot in that trade :(

[Belkinhert]

That blows man. What kind of resources did you lose out on?

[erin go bragh]

All I can say was more than I should have at all,so many to try and name sorry.but the bug in the game shouldn't have happened at all. :(

I can certainly understand your frustration.

One thing you SHOULD do with this game is back up your saves. Copy the folder in:

C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME HERE\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS

Every time you exit your ship, a restore point is created. It can easily be overwritten because of this.

Also, there are save editors you can get to restore items you feel you may have been cheated on due to bugs. People use them all the time for various reasons. I have never used one, so I can't point you to the best editor or explain how they work.

Not sure about how to use something like that,so I guess I will write it up as a loss lol

[wkitty42]

it is a save editor... right click an inventory slot, click on Add Item, select an item from the huge list of everything available, done... now you have X of them, easy peasy...

Same just happened to me : lost all my ship inventory after I changed ship by buying a new one to a NPC in a station.

Then I realised I could not reload a previous manual save, because the game now overwrite the save files EVEN THE MANUAL ONES (Yes, I haven't played a long time...).

So I now have to farm everything that was inside again, buy or craft all modules, etc...

Hopefully I was not THAT far in my game, but this is a VERY annoying bug, specially considering there IS a message before changing ship to transfer inventory to the new one.

[<RED>Pirate King Undead<>]

when buying a new ship or frieghter cargo and tech does not transfer, you have to do it manually, unless its inside storages.. its pretty straight foward and common sense

[darknessanubis]

What about your frigates? DO they go with you if you trade freighters or do you have to start over with them?

Sorry this expedition is the first time I am messing with freighters.
