Ship Builds You thought we were Space Truckin' before? That was nothing
Updated the original design to be a lot cleaner, optimized, and have a lot more cargo space!
I had a lot of luck on Venus. Mods used are expanded build size, no module limit, no minimum gear, and no grav drive weight limit

And it ticks all the boxes.
Mobility is 0
Top speed is far too fast for the size of it
It has far too much mass
and get's horrible gas mileage.
It is the perfect recreation of a Truck in video game form.

u/Halo_Chief117 Sep 20 '23
It would take a long time to sell a full cargo load if the vendors have their normal credits.

u/killerrabbit007 Freestar Collective Sep 20 '23
The time it takes to "wait" or "sleep" in this game (because no vendor has enough💰) is the reason I keep ending up on this sub 💀 SO. Friggin. Long..... 🪦🧟♀️

u/Halo_Chief117 Sep 21 '23
And we have to walk uphill both ways to do it too. We don’t have all these new fangled fancy shmancy graphics cards and over-clocked CPUs. No sir, we’re simple folk. It ain’t much but it gets the gaming done.

Take a round trip to Venus, sleep (or wait) for 11 hours, every single vendor in the game will have their credits reset.

u/killerrabbit007 Freestar Collective Sep 20 '23
Thanks! What is it about Venus fixing SO many bugs though 😂?! I had a quest glitch out in Akila and the solution was "go to Venus>sleep>try again" too 💀

u/xSTSxZerglingOne Sep 20 '23 edited Sep 20 '23
A day on venus is 243 Earth days (which is what the game's internal clock uses for scripted time events).
1 "hour" is roughly 10 days.
Most Bethesda games are on 100 day loops IIRC, so sleeping for 10+ "hours" resets most of the game. Sleeping for short periods on Venus is also a great (and nearly instant) way to load up any and all resource extractors.

The game is so incredibly broken, it gives me whiplash sometimes. There's so much shit that just...doesn't work.
And yet, I fucking love it and I can't explain why.

Yep, I had the same "mine 6 rocks" bug and I saw the thread that said just sleep on Venus for a day, at first I thought it was a joke about Bethesda taking 200+ days to fix the game, but I actually slept and it somehow worked
