Slot Upgrades


Weapon slot (accepts weapons and other modules, can be downgraded to point-defence slot)

↓

Hybrid slot (accepts point-defences and internal modules)

↓

Internal core slot (gives the ship +1 max HP)

Resources


What to do with excess resources? Excess resources must be used before your ship can travel.


 * 1) Check cargo for extra containers! → Don't have any? Craft some DIY containers.
 * 2) Check for craftables. (Hover the mouse over Craftables.png and get some ideas.)
 * 3) Use converter modules to convert excess into essential resources.
 * 4) Craft resource packs. (It is often more useful to craft an extra DIY container rather than craft resource packs.)
 * 5) Dump or convert into fuel. (Converting excess into fuel is not very-cost effective and not always possible.)

Excess organics → heal the crew (medbay needed)

Excess metal → upgrade slots; repair the ship

Excess synthetics → heal drones (drone repair module needed)
