Important notes

Last updated: 31 July 2021

Don't use Easy Build Hall with normal ships!

Using the Easy Build Hall only works with the tutorial Laborer (module) ship. It does not work with any other ship! It will work with new custom designs built from modules from scratch by you, but no existing ship can use the Easy Build Hall and survive. This is the #1 reason for broken ships at the moment.

You can get a new tutorial Laborer by completing the Repair Job again!

If your Laborer ship has broken down for any reason, you can get another one by simply completing the Repair Job again. You should be able to do this without touching any of the settings. However you can also see if restarting the Tutorial helps, in the ESC menu -> Settings -> Tutorial.

Ship vouchers

What are vouchers

Vouchers are used by the game's support team to refund lost or broken spaceships. You can request a voucher by filing an F1 Feedback Tool report for Ingame help. Please specify the ship you're requesting the voucher for, and some details of what happened.

How to know if you've got a voucher

A voucher will show up in the Bank Statement info when received. You can go to the Inventory and check the CV tab, and then Bank Statement. The voucher should show up as a "Received ship voucher" entry.

Find Sunny Ship Center

Each Origin station has a "Sunny Ship Center". It's a green-yellow building (but not the OKI building). Sunny Ship Center sells "starter" versions of many ships, designed for the early experience. These ships only require ores that are found within the safe zone of the Origin station(s). Other stores may sell ships that require more rare ores.

Laborer in the middle of Sunny Ship Center

Enter the Sunny Ship Center from the ground level, and find the "Central Showroom" (it's in the middle). There you will find the "Laborer module" ship.

Buy with voucher

Once you've located the ship you have the voucher for, simply press the Buy button and you will get the ship free of cost.

Ship Shops vs Starter ships

There are multiple Ship Shops that sell ships. However they may require additional ores not found within the safe zone.

Also please note the Easy Build Hall (/Mode) does not support any store bought ships besides the Laborer module!
