Scrapyards

[Omega XE]

I’m playing RE. How to find scrapyards I’m wasting fuel to find one lol. Is there a special characteristics to a planet or just luck? And can you sell a unused vehicle to them ?

I have found one. You pretty much have to go to the star and then check every planet.

Not sure about selling vehicles. Probably better to tear it down yourself with a deconstructor. I don't remember them buying ships, but might be wrong.

From what I saw of it, you can buy various ship parts from them, or you can buy a salvage licence to salvage one of the ships that are docked there. It was interesting, but I did not see it of particular use to me. What I needed was the high level parts and I don;t think any of the ships there had what I wanted.

As a side note, you will probably get a pirate attack while you are there.

If you're looking for the colonist scrapyards in space, they show up directly in the solar system map as a blue station icon and you'll find them in hot systems anywhere colonists can be.

And how would YOU know? Are you some sort of "know-it-all"?

(( just kidding)) ;)

I tried to salvage one of their ships after buying a license and they turned hostile towards me...how do I use it?

Based on a recent stream I saw, there's dialogue by which your selected ship's core is destroyed, allowing you to add your own core and gain ownership.

But ask here as well.

As mentioned, look for a blue trade station icon in the system map screen. Click on it to confirm, but it should confirm that it's a scrapyard. This might not be 100% with latest update, since there are now Colonist trade/distribution areas that might use the same icon, but this will save you the trouble of actually warping there to check.

To salvage a ship, you need to buy a license from the office in the scrapyard. With the license in your possession, go to your chosen ship and hit the switch on the lockout core. It will consume the license and destroy the core, without getting them upset. You can then attach your own core and get salvaging.
