Scrap Value no longer displayed Version 8

Post by Misfit_Tempo »

Hi There,

I am still playing version 8 and have done for several months now. I have recently been building a few gate defense bases so that I can farm the scrap the Xenon leave behind. I used to be able to see all of the scrap values of the wrecks as they piled up but very recently I have noticed that the scrap value of the wreck has completely disappeared. In fact the wrecks don't really feel like wrecks anymore but instead just show up as greyed out ships. I can select it but the option to change to the information/loadout/crew tab is all greyed out.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if I have triggered a button or setting somewhere. WOuld like to be able to fix this before my stations are finished and I order a bunch of Manticores

Is your game modded and have you verified your game installation recently?

The version 8 changelog does not mention any changes to wreck scrap value or their display. I just went into my vanilla 8.00 HF4 game and wrecks are indeed displaying 'processible wares' 'raw scrap' quantities, although some wrecks have zero content.

I have played the game both unmodded and modded. Have verified the files and they are fine. I have loaded up an older save and now the wreck value is no longer there so I think perhaps I might have triggered a setting in a filter or something as map filters seem to remain when transferring between saves. The "Wreck" option just hides them when it is unchecked so it is not that one

Probably a silly question but have you turned off the Avarice DLC extension? It was that DLC that introduced salvageable wrecks.

Not gonna lie after reading this I checked two separate saves, one 25 days long and a new one on 24 hours. Checked a K wreck (only capital wreck immediately available) and what a few Manticores were towing on the former, and about two dozen freshly culled S/Ms on the latter. I didn't see any mention of value content on any of their info screens.

I even flipped between my own ship and the wrecks to check if anything was on the other, normally inaccessible tabs and they were all blank apart from the entity name (as expected).

The only place I see the content is if I target the wreck from my cockpit. I can't say for certain whether it was ever possible to see it from the map entity info.

Also current build, all expansions on (I have Avarice mission in log to do) and no mods.

I only ever did one rollback from 8.0 to 7.6 to put some builders in place to block off the new sectors that were added with the Diplomacy update.

Yes I did mean the wreck small info panel you get when you target the wreck from your personal ship. The mechanic is a bit odd in that some wrecked ships have no processable wares (eg BUC and KHK - yes I know recycling from KHK wrecks is changing to offer Allographyne in 9.00) while other race ship wrecks usually have quantities of raw scrap shown.

I hope I haven't turned it off, I have been in Avarice doing most of the Northriver Plot so I assume it is still on

Ah so it isn't just me then, interesting. Thank you for sharing that

Yeah seems so far all three of us have the same behaviour so my spidey sense tells me it's working as expected... :)
