Quick update for all waiting for news Star Salvage Reborn is the best option for now, most likely will not see Know it all return to the game or mod in the for see able future, we still have hope with SSR I have played it and it is still currently being updated frequently

@Disrupter Go look up Star Salvage Reborn or Junkyard Salvager. This scenario is outdated and not getting updates for the time being.

Star Salvage Reborn is the up to date version of this scenario. Up to date plus new features.

Junkyard Salvager is another scenario similar with a different story line and features.

Cannot play scenario, it just throws error message?

It’s nice to know that there is a possibility that Star Salvage is still being worked on.

Other mods are nice, but I feel you are being given too much too easily.

SS, however, makes you actually work for every single advancement you get. Makes me feel like I am actually working for the rewards. I will keep supporting this mod until the heat death of the universe.

@Zathabar You might try talking to YT Reaper Gaming, he joined KnowItAllDM on a server running Star Salvage. Reaper might know something you'd be interested in.

I commented on KIAs videos on his YT vids a few times and then caught him on discord or somewhere. We talked about the mod, he was very open to listening to suggestions and polite about it.

He mentioned story chapters past getting lev 10 in job classes. He wanted missions, like go fetch X amount of X items and turn in that you could complete for ISI for UP points or credits.

I talked with him about finding an old space battle field with less loose random parts and more ship wrecks that were missing key components. Maybe maybe not part of any story line but something to satisfy the people that like to repair ships.

He was receptive to the idea, but told me about having so much on his plate at the time. New job, moving, I think he said a new baby and his computer was giving him some difficulty also. A lot going on.

Can these dead bones yet live?

Lord thou Knowest!

Igor! another 10,000 volts its twitching!!!

if anyone is still subscribed here SSR is coming along.. Be nice if KIADM could pass his notes on; but I'd settle for knowing he was still with us generally! Named a new Planet for him. Until you dig in the code you can't know how big he was planning I estimate over 80% of his sketched out road map (no more than a hand full of lines here and there - but the intent is clear) was ever released!

Please keep in mind, that Junkyard Salvager is in an early development stage and Teakeycee (the solo developer) slowly works towards progress while supporting me and other players as well. Just saying to give another perspective to the mix :-D

By me, 1.8 version is working and its alot better than the new clone Junkyard Salvager. There arent enough Junks and also the level system is Vanila.

"Junkyard Salvager" is another choice - not so far along but if you like the grind (like it do) then give it a try

@rt.creator On YouTube youtube.com/@theeldersign/videos or search "Star Salvage Reborn" you will find several options to watch.

@gatheris Thank you for the suggestion, but even the "reborn" version is doing the same thing

@Tanqued could you please post the url on the series.

@Fylas It's not, somebody picked up the ball and is keeping the scenario updated and going. I've seen Elder Sign and a couple others are doing a series on YouTube of it.

gatheris this better not be a april fools joke.

@whitepawrolls - check out Star Salvage Reborn - this scenario is being worked on - still has plenty of issues but definitely playable

Well I think the latest update killed this since its not being updated. Nothing but launch errors and game crashes now. This stinks. Was my favorite scenario.

sir, I would like to use a few of your items/blocks for a custom server scenario I am working on. Would you have any issues with that?

Can anyone provide a bit more information regarding these " specific "Unclaimed Space" Sectors in space." where we can spawn bases? I haven't seen anything that sounded like that.

Great scenario, it was an inspiration for me to create my own, unfortunately due to lack of time I had to abandon it and I wasn't able to create an update to the new version of the game. Currently, for some reason in my Scenario, the wrecks look like they were torn apart by a bomb and the pieces are floating in the air. Due to the very long break, I don't even know how to fix it.

This is so sad, beside RE this is one of the best scenarios.

It's dead if nobody else can continue working on it. So very sad..

This scenario is dead?

Correct!


Sadly

so, mod is completely dead?

@Pheadrix You might find more info on EGS Modding in the official EGS Forums on EGS-Website:

https://empyriononline.com/forums/

Does anyone have any knowledge about setting up an Empyrion modding environment under Linux? (I have no Windows boxen, and I have no plans to start paying Redmond for anything) Also, a quickstart guide to modding on EGS would be nice - a quick Google search didn't show anything particularly promising. I have about 45 years in programming (just not this kind of thing), so I'd like to see what kind of effort is involved.

The question has been brought up by a few people here about having one or more being able to continue the this mod, so is anybody feeling up to it alone and or working with others to keep this mod going?

I am currently having bugs on a dedicated server where I can't build certain items. Anyone else experiencing this?

Its pretty playable even now. I really like this mod wish the creator would keep working on it. I mod the files to give less loot and make xp gain slower and its a good experience all around.

Last I played it, it was missing the new vanilla content, and I hit a couple of bugs in the scenario itself that stopped my progression. You might have a different experience.

Is the scenario still functional, or are there too many errors to attempt to play it?

It's been over a year now with no updates (and no news from/about KnowItAllDM), I think the time has arrived to call it - this is an ex scenario. Sad - it was my favourite, and I have many happy hours invested in it. If KnowItAll is still out there, thank you, and I hope you're OK.

@Xblade_Uk - Sounds sooo authoritative coming from a dude who has 159 hours in
Empyrion - Galactic Survival xD

I really love this game and this mod too. I spent a lot of time in it, so I know what I'm talking about.
I would be very happy if the Eleon were really developing the game, but ...
And it's really sad

Wow yet more dumb misinformation. And also there is NO such thing as "dead mods" or "dead game" that is just more so called streamer dribble that actual gamer's don't use.

This mod is dead.

And in general, all mods on vanilla are useless, because the developer stopped developing game content 5 years ago. All additions to the game, like adding 1 decor per year, adding a new gun skin once every 2 years....

If you make mods, then:
- help develop RE 2
- make mods based on RE/RE 2 like ATLANTIS

The community activity is the only reason the game is still alive.

also, tried to lower the XP gain. Scanned a "junk cloud"...gained 2 levels. like what.

tried to change the loot to be a little less generous. didnt seem to work. I like the mod ALOT. I love the ultra hard start. But the CPU extender extravaganza makes getting such things trivial and really seems to go against the spirit of the mod. It should be hard to get them but I am harvesting so very many...

hes gone dark on discord as well, the same consensus hope he is ok.

Yeah was my favorite Scenario and knowitall was always responsive etc I am friends with him on steam and he used to always be on but hasn't been on in 9 months I hope everything is okay with him.

someonen would have to just take it over and start from were its at. I dont want to jinx it but i feel that knowitall has had changes in his life. i think work was on his list as well his computer issues. so mabye he jsut said F it? but ya someone would have to take it over and run it while saying "not my original work " giving credit to knowitall and a link to this page for reference.

would love to see this make a return

Me too. It was a lot of people's favourite EGS scenario including me. Hope it comes back to life. Had a lot of potential.

I hope someone take it over an undating this nice Szenario...I liked playing it...

@jedi22 you prolly could take it over and update to the latest version of EGS, but be sure to give Knowitall FULL credit. I going off of modder rules from other sites with abandon project, take it over but give full credit were it is due.

Is knowitall still updating this? I'd love to help work on it if interested.

It's been a bit since I played Star Salvage on EGS, been trying my hand at Space Engineers lately. If I got any of this wrong there is bound to be a couple folks that can correct me, but I think I was close to correct.

@shadow2121 Part 1: If you follow the main story line doing the quests you will get to a spot I think it was at or near level 5 of whichever profession you chose and you will get an option to either get a bunch of UP upgrade points or you can choose a second profession. You can slowly do that and get all the professions.

Even if you choose another profession you can still keep leveling up your past professions for a few more quests till you hit a dead end that will be fixed in the next update.

@shadow2121 Part 2: Another option is you get early on a Salvage Token and if you have it in your inventory you can use a special teleporter on any of the Salvage space stations to go to the Salvage Company headquarters. When you get there and you'll need a butt load of cash. Then you can buy any or all of the other professions. The only problem at the moment is the door to where the guy you need to talk to is locked. KnowItAllDM said this is a bug and it will be fixed in the next update but that was some time ago and he told me to use cheat codes to ghost thru the door. You just have to talk to everybody upstairs and you will find the guy and pay for the professions. Just take loads of credits... like 5 Mill per profession, Something like that.

The guy for buying professions works, just not much else at the Salvage HQ does yet, it was all parts of the next stage of story line. Quest givers and the like are currently dead ends.

when can you get a second class?

Since you can roll back to empyrion alphas, seems like that would be easier unless if empyrion ever gets another update would that screw things up?
